I am casting my memory back to the day of the Royal Wedding in the not-so-distant past. It was grey and depressing, just like today. A good day to bake and try to make life taste better! Perhaps I should always make a recipe right after I watch the show that inspired me to want […]
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!

This is a huge honour and […]
Recipe Review: Cooks.com’s Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

Next week, our days will […]

Halloween Treat: Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms
This recipe for Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms came to me from Ava after my cinnamon witch’s broom turned out to be so difficult to make! Thanks so much Ava!
