After my peanut butter nightmare, I considered never making no-bake treats again. Thankfully the cookbook Best Recipes Ever from Canadian Living and CBC published by Random House Canada changed my mind with their chocolate crispy bar treats. They may look a little weird thanks to some changes I made but stay with me! You begin with […]
Canadian Living’s Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recently I received the cookbook Canadian Living Best Recipes Ever to review from Random House Canada. How exciting! For those readers outside of Canada, Canadian Living is an icon in the magazine publishing world here. They now have a TV show called Best Recipes Ever and this is the show’s cookbook. This is a huge honour and […]
Bon Appetit’s Crisp Cocoa Pecan Cookies
Last fall I bought the foodie anthology Bon Appetit Desserts which was awesome enough but by purchasing the cookbook I also got a free subscription to Bon Appetit Magazine! I will tackling the massive book of desserts soon but was so excited about the magazine I just had to begin with these Crisp Cocoa Pecan Cookies. Please […]

Rachel Allen’s Banana Bread & Cookbook Review of “Bake”
Last Christmas I received the cookbook Rachel’s Baking Secrets (although my book is entitled “Bake”) from my mom for Christmas and have had a great time testing out the recipes.

Recipe Review: Canadian Living’s Really Good Rum Balls
These are my version of Canadian Living’s Really Good Rum Balls which I wanted to add to my plate of holiday goodies for my friends because one of my friends tries to avoid carbs. Most rum balls are made with cookies but these ones are made with ground almonds bumping up the protein and bringing down […]
Recipe Review: Taste of Home’s Fudgy Pinwheel Cookies
Before I hit the wall of baking, I continued my treat-making odyssey to share with my friends for Christmas. I have never made a pinwheel cookie before so I took on Taste of Home’s Fudgy Pinwheel Cookies recipe. I used pecans instead of walnuts and I toasted them ahead of time so they were not super raw, my […]
Recipe Review: Taste of Home’s Chocolate Orange Meltaways (Truffles)
These Chocolate Orange Meltaways are actually truffles. Last year for my post “The Trouble With Truffles” I made the mistake of using a lot of bittersweet chocolate. This recipe calls for milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate so I felt much safer making them! If you are losing holiday baking steam and only have little bits of time […]
