Santa Advent Calendar – Free Printable
Woo hoo! It’s December 1st, which means Christmas is officially right around the corner. Usually I wouldn’t be this excited, because most years I’m at a complete loss with my Christmas shopping, but for once, I am way ahead of the game (I mean, 75% of my presents are already wrapped). So, with all that…
Easy Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Ok, I’m going to try to stay on top of things this year and actually post my Christmas cookie recipes as I make them. These are a family favourite recipe. My Nana has made them my whole life, and they are one of a chosen few cookies that it just wouldn’t be Christmas without. The…

Pumpkin Cake Cookies with Brown Butter Icing
This is a recipe I’ve literally been meaning to get up on the site for years. It’s hands down my favorite holiday recipe, and one that I make every year for Thanksgiving. Except for last year, because last year I couldn’t find where I put the recipe (which is why I really need to get…
Victorian Gingerbread House Template
Just a quick explanation here. I was searching everywhere for a Victorian style gingerbread house template and couldn’t find one anywhere. Well, at least anywhere that didn’t want to charge me $10 for it. It’s Christmas folks, seriously? So, I did find a printable paper house that you fold together, so I made a gingerbread…
Santa Countdown Cut-out
So, Oliver and I have been working on a bunch of things. Letters (A and O are down pat, the rest, not so much). Counting (1, 2 are good, 2, 4, 6 are good, the rest, not so good). Cutting. He really likes the cutting. So, in honor of Christmas I decided to make a…
Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake
Alright, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. This is one bloody fantastic cheesecake. Like, really, really great, though it’s definitely a holiday thing. I don’t see myself waking up on a July morning craving a slice of pumpkin cheesecake (ok honestly, now that I’ve said that, I kinda can see it happening). With our Canadian Thanksgiving…
