Oh my goodness! Where did the time go! My favorite time of the year is finally here. Not because of all the presents (okay, okay, maybe some presents) but, because I get to do all this wonderful baking and more importantly, I get to share the recipes with you. My theme this year - as always, [...]
Well, it looks like another year is coming to an end! Christmas is almost here. If you have planned on being with family and friends hopefully the snowy weather hasn't stopped you. If it has, think back on the last few Christmas days we had - or didn't have. You got this!! I hope you [...]
Oh how fast the big day is approaching! Still, a thrill seeing all the delicious recipes out there and selecting which ones to share with you. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it! I’ve made amaretti before, blogged about it, big big fan of it. But this is different, not [...]
I wasn’t going to blog this, I got the idea from one of those foreign Instagram reels with no measurements, but I figured – coffee and liqueur soaked biscuits, alcohol laced mascarpone, whipped cream and fresh berries! Can I really screw this up?! So here is a our first 2022 Christmas Treat - A Tiramisu [...]
Hey, I don’t make up the rules, but if it says Breakfast Cake, is it really a cake? I was sent this recipe by one of my followers on social media (thanks Judy!). It is a Lemon Crumble Breakfast Cake. It had a lot of boxes checked off from my list, lemon – check, crumble [...]
Does anything say loving more than Chocolate Pudding!! You have lots of time to make this, you only need unsweetened cocoa, any type of nut milk (I used almond, but the original called for oat milk - either would work as well), and some dark chocolate. Garnish with anything you want, I happened to have [...]
This is a lovely recipe for a delightful cookie that always reminds me of the walks my girlfriend (relax, she's now my wife) and I would take through the streets of Chinatown! I've mentioned before that she has a sweet tooth so inevitably, we would enter more bakeries to see, smell (and eventually) taste the [...]
Don't you love persimmons?! I do, delicious orbs of goodness that scream to be chopped or quartered and added to an arugula or spinach salad. Maybe diced into a fruit salad with mango and blackberry or just enjoyed as mid day pick-me-up snack. Research always gives me so many ideas apart from those mentioned above, [...]
The wonderful thing about cleaning up is you find all kinds of things treasures you never knew you had or (in my case – ahem, my wife calls it junk), that you never thought you had. Well we found this treasure of a recipe which was from my mother-in-law who was a wonderful baker. This [...]
There has to be one fun cookie you must make every year and this year, this is mine. Decorating these was always a fun event in our house. But the grown up kids won’t be here until Christmas day and that is too late for my last treat! This is a great sugar cookie recipe [...]
