Let's bake some treats, review some recipes and test equipment
Real Lemons Make All the Difference I don’t tend to use artificial extracts in my baking. I don’t like the chemical taste most of them have. This cake is made with real lemons. Try to get good lemons as that will make a big difference. For me, in Canada, I have found Spanish lemons and […]
You can make Oreos at home I have a confession to make. I am a recovering Oreo cookie addict. I have travelled across the border to the US and bought many packages (like 15 plus packages) of various flavours of Oreo cookies and brought them back to Canada. We don’t typically get all the different […]

The big question So you’ve read many recipes, blogs, and magazines about making bread at home. You’ve figured out that you need some sort of yeast for this process and have located and purchased instant yeast. Instant yeast can be added directly to your dry ingredients, unlike active yeast which you need to dissolve first […]
A Delicious Quick Bread It’s been weeks of overcast, gloomy weather. I miss the sunshine. I don’t mind that it’s not warm, but I would like to see some sun soon. I felt like I needed to make something that reminds me of sunshine. Something bright and fresh. Lemons and blueberries! They go so well […]
