I love working with chocolate. It”s a pretty hard project to mess up because no matter what goes wrong almost every mistake is salvageable (beyond burning it to a crisp) and you”re always able to find some way to get it in your belly. I”m sharing two of my favourite homemade chocolates on Simple Bites(…)
This cake has Christmas written all over it. I know there will be people rolling their eyes since it”s only the beginning of November, but I love Christmas, so I”m not afraid to start sharing early. To be totally honest I started listening to Christmas music at the end of September. Not every day, mind(…)
This is my ULTIMATE favourite brownie recipe. Every time I make it I am in awe again of just how good it is. Often I find brownies to be overly rich and sweet. But, these have the perfect fudgy consistency with that great peanut butter/chocolate combo that everybody seems to love. And, for those chocoholics(…)
First of all I want to thank you all so much for your sweet comments last week on my Blogversary post. It really made me wish that each and every one of you could win the giveaway. Unfortunately it cannot be so and I had to pick only one lucky winner. I considered writing out(…)
I know that technically it”s still summer but it”s really beginning to feel a lot like fall here and I”m more then ready. Over the last week I have begun to feel a lot better and the cold crisp air is breathing new life into me. I”m ready for a new season and a new(…)
I have been obsessed with tea and cookies ever since I saw the recipe for this Chai Concentrate on Hilary”s blog: Let Her Bake Cake. James is in heaven because I make a new batch of cookies practically every week. These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies have been a long time fave and are one of(…)
I was debating whether to call these muffins or cupcakes. But I think anyone that eats chocolate muffins for breakfast understands that, that distinction is always hard to make when your having chocolate for breakfast. The only real reason I’m calling these “muffins” is because I took my Blueberry Sour Cream Muffin recipe and altered(…)
Last week I was feeling good enough to break my six weeks of baking silence. Let me tell you, it felt wonderful! My poor hubby has been deprived of homemade goods for so long that he was almost giddy when he found out I was actually going to bake him a pie (and one of(…)
Well folks my kitchen is almost *almost* done. My hubby has been working hard to get everything done and has done an amazing job. It”s been less then two weeks and everything is nearly complete. There are only a couple of finishing touches that I want complete before I share the photos with you, so(…)
One of the {food} things I miss most about not being in Canada is watching the Food Network. I have a couple of favourite Canadian chefs and I often go back to the website to check out their new recipes. When I saw that Food Network had a Cooking Club Challenge every month and that(…)
I have the best mom in the world. Don’t fight with me on this. Your mom can be just as awesome as my mom, but she can’t possibly be better. My goal has never been to be a better mom then my mom, but to be just as good. To be as loving, caring and(…)
We are coming off of two weeks of non-stop rain and my son and I have been practically living outside, now that the sun is shining. We’ve been having picnics, going to the park, walking to the creek, playing in the sandbox. You name it. We’ve done it. I’m surprised at how hardcore Max is(…)
