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 […]

After I had made this flourless chocolate cake I heard from friend Desba that January 27th is Chocolate Cake Day which was confirmed by Tastespotting. And you know what is so weird? Yesterday, I just had to make a chocolate cake. Now I never make cakes. I took a cake decorating class with my amazing […]

Lorraine’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 26, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

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 […]

Sorry, my inner geek had to come out! And if you do not know what I am referring to via my title watch some classic Trek! Chocolate, whipping cream and Baileys, what could be bad? Well if you are in a baking frenzy and you are on the verge of collapse, I do not recommend […]

Crazy Easy & Fast Holiday Chocolate Fudge

December 19, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

I found out about this recipe from my dearest online friend Bohemian Single Mom. She calls it Candy Cane Fudge and you can find the original recipe here. The original recipe calls for peppermint extract and candy canes but I think I am allergic to peppermint. It always gives me a sore throat so I […]

Christmas Cookies: Caramel Pecan Treasures

If I had to pick my favourite Christmas cookie that I baked last year it would have to be Taste of Home’s Caramel Pecan Treasures. As you will see they were kind of a pain to make but truly, I think these are worth the effort. They taste like Turtle cookies! These are truly winner […]

Halloween Chocolate Orange Holiday Cake

This Chocolate Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Icing saved my Halloween. I had chosen an online recipe foolishly NOT from the Food Network sites and all was going well until I realized that I had not pre-heated the oven. So I went to look for the temperature in the recipe and could not find it. […]

Remember those scary eyeballs I made the other day? I had quite a few peanut butter balls and decided I would like to try and use a truffle technique for some of them to have some classy Halloween truffles to share as well. They taste just like peanut butter cups! Super delicious. Melt some chocolate […]

While I was in Toronto I went to the Distillery District downtown and was in foodie paradise! One of the first places I went to was Soma Chocolatemaker at 55 Mill Street. How amazing to see their micro chocolate-factory through their viewing window! They are truly chocolate artisans, one of the few places that make […]
