October 19, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Check out Canadian Living’s Creepy Witch’s Fingers. This style of cookie shows up in all the Halloween mags and books. It is so popular I just had to try making them from scratch myself! This recipe uses a very traditional cookie dough and I like that it adds some almond favour with some extract. I […]

Recipe Review: Chocolatier’s Mocha Dreams

October 12, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

Dearest Melanie was kind enough to photocopy this recipe and give me a copy. She loved it so much she just had to share it with me. I have been saving it for the right moment to test them. That moment came last week. We needed ultimate chocolate comforting. You begin by melting 4 oz […]

Lemon Thyme Cookies

I have been searching for this recipe for lemon thyme cookies for a very long time. I made them years ago to celebrate summer and the return of the sun. Delicate, tangy, with a dash of sunshine and a hint of thyme throughout, I love these cookies. The coolest part of the story is I […]

Recipe Review: The Neelys’ Grandma Jean’s Potato Salad

May 7, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Please note: I forgot to mention that you also add some chopped onion and celery to the salad! I had almost given up on finding the perfect potato salad recipe. I had tried so many and most of them were flavourless and boring. A couple of summers ago I saw the Neelys make their Grandma […]

When I lived in Vancouver I tried all sorts of authentic Chinese desserts like egg tarts and moon cakes from their Chinese markets but I never warmed up to them. When I would walk into one of their bakeries I usually went come with meat buns instead! I went on an online hunt for what […]

Chocolate Drop Quickies & Personal Hero Cookies

February 11, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 17 Comments

I could lie and pretend that there was a Pan-Asian-inspiration going on when I made these cookies but the truth is, I had a migraine that ran me over like a Mac truck yesterday and flattened me completely. Last week when I was having my pity party I was so miserable I turned to my […]

Lorraine’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Although I made these with butter for this post, I recommend making them with shortening. They are much better that way! These are the first cookies I made after I left home and was on my own. I had moved from Toronto to Ottawa and really wanted to learn how to bake. Who did I […]

Last year I attempted writing a book about my food heritage. My mom is Latvian and my dad’s family came from England. For the English portion of my culinary journey I bought England’s Heritage Cookbook. I had great success with the cooking portion of the book but the only dessert recipe I tried ended up […]

These cookies are ones I have been making him to cheer him up for about ten years now. I got the recipe out of a library cookbook but have no idea which one! Since we have been down in the dumps, freezing cold and depressed lately, I just knew it was time to make my […]
