Orange Chicken, my delicious copycat of The Cheesecake Factory’s. Crispy, tender bites of chicken tossed in a tangy and slightly sweet sauce.
Copycat
Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread
Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread just like at the restaurant. This is my favourite bread recipe, and it’s been the most popular recipe on Kitchen Trials since 2015!
Pecan Sandies
Pecan sandies are some of my favorite cookies: full of toasty pecan pieces with a crisp edge and slightly chewy center, they just melt in your mouth. Biting into one of these is like biting into my childhood. My great-grandmother Melinda (Nan to all of us), always had a bag of these cookies in her…
Toffee Cookies
Thick and chewy vanilla cookies loaded with tiny bites of salted toffee and roasted almonds. Just like the ones Panera Bread used to sell , and Mrs. Fields makes (without the roasted nuts).
Sweet & Salty Georgia Browns
A chewy salted caramel is poured over roasted pecans then topped with a thin layer of rich chocolate. These are what you make when you love someone. There’s a chain of chocolate stores in Canada called Purdy’s. Everything was going great in my life, I’d stop by once in a while for a salted caramel truffle,…
Bourbon Chicken
Straight off of Bourbon Street in New Orleans, this tender bourbon chicken is covered in a slightly sweet sauce with a little kick. It’s a true taste of the South you won’t be able to resist.
Best Ever Cinnamon Buns
Fluffy golden rolls with seemingly endless swirls of cinnamon, my best ever cinnamon rolls are the perfect weekend treat, and so easy to make! I promise you, they’re so close to cinnamon rolls from the mall, you won’t believe it!
Bakery Style Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
Once upon a time, not so long ago (like, last weekend) my cousin threw a welcome party for my adorable new little niece (Hi Addison!!!). At this incredible party (you know, the kind with table after table of delicious food, and absolutely every little detail in the house matching. Like, she swapped out photos in frames…
Bakery Style Buttercream Frosting
Anyone that’s walked into a bakery and bought a cupcake knows – that bakery style buttercream – there is just something DIFFERENT about it. I have made a bazillion buttercream over the years. I tried the standard one, ok-ish, but not it. Wilton buttercream… nope, not it. Italian Meringue buttercream – my favourite for cakes, but still…
Cracker Barrel Style French Toast
The end of October we went on vacation to Florida (there will be a post, because my four year old went on Tower of Terror and loved it… that needs to be shared with the world). On the drive home we stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner, as we do every year, except everyone felt like breakfast,…
BBQ Jerk Chicken Pizza #GrillWithGrace
UPDATE: I’ve included the recipe for regular (non-jerk style) BBQ chicken in the notes section of the recipe as well! There is nothing more that I enjoy in the summer then grilling a meal outside. The kids can go crazy in the backyard, Bo can relax with Sophie on the daybed, and I can stand at…
Creamy Dreamy Lemon Loaf (Shhh… They’re better than Starbucks!)
What better way to start off the Saturday of a long weekend (thank you Queen Victoria!) than with a bright, fresh, tart, summer lemon loaf recipe. If you’ve ever taken a bite of the one from Starbucks, you’ve been wanting to make it at home. If you’ve ever taken a bite of this loaf, which…
Buffalo Spice Rub
This is my personal “I put that s*%& on everything”. Because seriously, I put this on EVERYTHING! It started out because I love the Buffalo rub at Buffalo Wild Wings, but I can’t buy it in Canada, and I don’t want to have to shell out money every time I feel like it. This isn’t quite…
Cajun Style Shrimp Pasta
The is one of my go-to dinners right now, because it’s super fast and easy, and tastes really (REALLY) good. It’s a lot like the Cajun chicken pasta that you can get at Chili’s, and if you wanted to use chicken instead of shrimp, go for it. I’ve put the spice level at about a…
Ultimate Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake
Alright folks… I’m about to share Bo’s favorite dessert recipe, but first, a bit of a back story. When Bo and I got married we went to Bahamas for 5 days, then hooked back up with my family in Florida for the annual vacation. We also decided to go out for one really nice dinner to…
Home Made Flakey’s
I really wasn’t sure what this was last night, and it took me looking at the pictures this morning again to figure out what exactly I’d concocted. What it was was a flakey, and a delicious one at that! Don’t be scared off by the strange line drawings, it was easier to draw it out then…
