Hazelnut Cream Cake
Four thin, airy layers of hazelnut torte are sandwiched between billowy, lightly sweetened whipped cream. One of the easiest cakes you can make, and it will have everyone thinking you bought it at a bakery.
Cheesecake Factory’s Honey Wheat Brown Bread
I have updated this recipe, please click the new image at the bottom of this post to head to the new recipe page. I didn’t put it at the top because some people scroll right to the bottom and I didn’t want them to miss it. Thanks! Every year when we go to Florida…
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…
Light and Crispy Cereal Drop Cookies
When I was in college I took a psych course that I absolutely loved. Mostly because the teacher was one of the nicest, sweetest ladies I’d ever met (Hi Mrs. Anderson!). On one of the last days of class she baked cookies for us and brought them in. I loved them, asked for the recipe,…
15 Breakfast Recipes to Make Your Mornings Easier!
I got tagged in a facebook post last night. It was another Mom looking for ideas for easy snacks that she could make for her kiddo, and my cousin knows that I live with a freezer full of options at any given time. I realized that this is a wealth of information that needed to be…
Easy Peri-Peri Chicken
Peri-Peri style chicken is coated in this indescribably delicious and complex tasting marinade that has a bit of heat layered within some incredible smoky and garlicky flavour. I became obsessed with ordering it in on those crazy hectic nights, but my wallet demanded I learn how to make a quick and easy version of it at home.
English Style Roast Potatoes
Before we get to the recipe is it ok if I just bitch for a minute. I’d like to say I have a Mother’s instinct, but really, it’s just that my kids are so damn predictable that I KNOW when life is about to go tits-up. Last night was one of those nights. I ran…
Mint Chocolate Cupcakes
Saturday morning I woke up in need of chocolate. Like, it’s the only thing I could think about. Screw getting anything done around the house, laundry could wait, that dust ball in the corner was still going to be there tomorrow, but the level of chocolate craving hangry (so hungry you’re angry) was going to…
Gingerbread Cake
Christmas is right around the corner (surprise, because I’m sure you hadn’t noticed all the in-your-faceness that attacks you everywhere you go). I’m starting to experiment with a few different types of desserts, because I get to have Christmas Dinner for the family at our house this year (WOO HOO!!!!). I probably won’t be nearly as…
Bakewell Tart
Nothing looks as pretty as a tart sitting out on the table. Those fluted edges do all the work for you, making it look like you REALLY know what you’re doing in the kitchen, even though all you really did was roll out some dough. On the scale of tarts, this one falls in the…
Almond Shortbread with Cherry Filling
The holidays are officially in full swing now. This means that from today, through to January 1, my home is consistently full of the sweet, sweet smells of baking (you’re allowed to be jealous, but also understand that this means I need to get my gym routine back up). One of my favourite cookies to make…
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,…
Castello Brie with Roasted Garlic
I was so excited to be asked to help promote the new movie Burnt (starring Bradley Cooper) along with Castello Cheese, which is featured in the film. I have been a movie fan for as long as I can remember, literally. My first real movie memory is of my Mom freaking out because I fell…
Best Ever Apple Crisp
I’ll boast a lot about the food I cook… “This is really good” or “You’ve got to try out this one, you’ll love it”. But with all of those meals, there’s always a little room for improvement. This recipe though, this recipe has been THE apple crisp for us for over a decade now. It’s…
