Let's bake some treats, review some recipes and test equipment
A Christmas Tradition You don’t need to wait until Christmas to enjoy chocolate covered peanut butter balls but it does seem to be something I make every holiday season. It just seems right. These treats are a nice addition to any tray of Christmas baking. Chocolate covered peanut butter balls are very easy to make […]
Do you like crispy or cake-like cookies? For me, it’s soft, cake-like chocolate chip cookies every day! I can appreciate a crispy cookie, but not for my chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is for soft, cake-like cookies. Make sure you thoroughly whip the butter and sugars. You want the mixture to be fluffy and pale […]
A Recipe from my Grandma When I was younger, we used to visit my grandparents on all the major holidays. My grandma would make various treats for us, some I liked more than others. When I was a child, I did not like this dessert. I thought having even one raisin in my dessert was […]
Growing up I did not like rye bread. My grandparents would have it at their house and when we would visit, I would always hope for a loaf of good ol’ white wonder bread. Funny how your tastes change as an adult. I took a little bit of a break from making bread lately but […]

Why buy Pumpkin Pie Spice when you can make your own It’s a quick post for you today but one I feel the timing is right for. It’s the fall and we all know what that means. Pumpkin everything!! But seriously, I do enjoy various pumpkin-flavoured bakes during this time of the year. Most recipes […]
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: […]
Perfect for a cool fall evening Apples! In my part of the world, apples are being picked from the trees and road side stands are opening up with their delicious produce. I love apple season. One reason is this: Apple Crisp! I have to make this recipe at least once a year. At least. It’s […]
