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. I absolutely adored watching Rachel Allen‘s show Bake, so much so I had to get her cookbook. I have made her Apple and Oat Crumble, Peanut Butter […]

Memories of rice pudding in a dark kitchen
We were a little late getting our decorative lights up in our windows this year but once they were up, there was no opening our blinds to get natural light into our living room so my pretty foodie pictures have been non-existent during the holidays from this point forward. The day I made this rice […]
Recipe Review: Canadian Living’s Really Good Rum Balls

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 […]
Recipe Review: Anna Olson’s Angel Biscuits
I watched the retro food episode of Fresh With Anna Olson’s and was totally intrigued with her Angel Biscuits but I do not remember them getting as HUMUNGOUS as mine did! I always wondered how how you make those rolls that split open so easily so you can wedge some butter in there to melt from the heat of […]

Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens’ Irish Potato Cakes & Cookbook Review
A few days ago at the beginning of Hanukkah I really wanted to make latkas/potato pancakes in honour of the holiday. I was going through Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens and came across Irish Potato Cakes that were kind of similar to the latkas I made last year. Well I just had to make them and see how […]
