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! 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 […]

Recipe Review: Cooks.com’s Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

Halloween Treats: Vampire Cookies
Ever since I came across these cookies last year at Baking Bites, I have been wanting to make them! I am just a little crazy about all things vampire.

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! You begin with a cookie dough that is kind of weird. No eggs or leavener. You combine the sugar, butter, water and vanilla, then mix in flour and […]
