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 […]

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

January 12, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

I love hearing what people are cooking and baking via my Facebook Group and I found out about these Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies via my dear real-life friends Nigel and Kenora. They made them for the holidays as gifts and said they were a huge hit. Normally, I am very stingy with my Baileys. I am […]

Recipe Review: Canadian Living’s Really Good Rum Balls

January 5, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 21 Comments

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

January 4, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

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 […]

Yes, it is that time of year! Actually it has been for a while, I am just really behind this year when it comes to holiday baking. Here are my first cookies of the season. After another gingerbread debacle (will be sharing that story tomorrow) I gave up on that holiday treat and decided to […]

Halloween Treat: Spicy Nuts From Hell!!!!

October 13, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

The name of this recipe is a tad dramatic, considering I only used a pinch of cayenne, but for those who love life hot and spicy, add more and more! Recently I bought a giant package of nuts and did not realize they were unsalted at the time. I have been trying to figure out […]

Candy Making: Chocolate Brittle

June 24, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

This is an adaptation of this recipe for chocolate brittle. Normally when it comes to candy making I would never change a recipe. It is not like baking, there is not a lot of flexibility when it comes to rules but I really did not want to risk a whole pound of butter which is almost […]

Recipe Review: Chuck Hughes’ Maple Pecan Pie

June 7, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

I really enjoy Montrealer Chuck Hughes‘ show Chuck’s Day Off. His approach to food is very simple yet delicious. A guy who left the world of advertising to open up a restaurant with his friends and hires his mom to make desserts sounds like one of the coolest foodies around and when he made his version […]

Maple Sugar Pecans

April 15, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

I picked up The Maple Syrup Book from the library on a whim. It is written for families and some of the recipes at the back look very enticing. I have a bottle of real maple syrup and want to use it wisely since it is a bit of an investment. I decided to make […]
