Let's bake some treats, review some recipes and test equipment
The wild raspberries around the property are starting to ripen. We have had great weather for this fruit this year, so it should be a good bounty. Although the bushes are incredibly thorny, the flavour of wild raspberries makes it worth the scratches I always get trying to pick them. I use these raspberries in […]
Impressive loaf but easy to make I still had some frozen wild raspberries from two seasons ago in my freezer to use up. So, raspberry cream cheese babka was on the list! I like the sweetness from the cream cheese filling with the raspberry jam and the soft, buttery brioche dough makes it that much […]
Perfect for Afternoon Tea I’m a bit of a tea ‘aholic. I have a few cups a day. Okay, maybe several cups a day. I’ve never developed a taste for coffee but I love the smell of coffee. I just can’t drink it. So, tea it is. And what afternoon tea is complete without a […]
Sometimes I just want to have some muffins on hand for a snack. Something you can quickly grab and enjoy. You don’t even need to get a plate if you don’t want one. This recipe results in a moist, soft muffin and the addition of whole wheat flour gives it a terrific texture. You can […]
It’s easier than you think to make I never had a crumpet growing up. It wasn’t something my parents purchased for us and my parents certainly never made them fresh at home. I “discovered” them when I went off to college and I thought the store bought ones were pretty darn good. Jump forward many […]
Need another zucchini recipe? I still have zucchini from the garden to use. I froze a bunch and I made Lemon Raspberry Zucchini Bread and yet, there was still more zucchini to use. So welcome to, Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins sweetened with maple syrup. I wasn’t specifically looking for a no-refined sugar recipe or anything like […]
Not just for breakfast It’s been two weeks since my son headed back to school and I’m already searching for items to include in his school lunches. I do this every year and this year, I made a promise to myself to cut back on the pre-packaged snack items and make my own. First up: […]
A Partial Failure Maybe calling it a failure is a little bit harsh. This Orange Cardamom Breakfast Twist actually tasted pretty good but the instructions to make it weren’t always the easiest to follow. I found this recipe on Pinterest. It kept showing up in my feed and it looked so good. So, I finally […]
Hashbrowns, eggs, bacon and cheese This is a very hearty breakfast. Like the type of breakfast you eat and then go out and chop wood for hours. Hashbrowns, eggs, bacon and cheese…all cooked in one Lodge Cast Iron pan. It’s great for a low-mess breakfast option since it’s cooked in one pan, although your cardiologist […]
Hint of Orange French toast made with homemade white sandwich bread. If you didn’t see the post where I made this bread, you can find it here. I decided to make french toast with my homemade sandwich bread. But not just any french toast, hint of orange flavoured french toast! I’m sure everyone knows the […]
