    Unbelievably Easy Peach Crumble

    September 12, 2021 /

    After eating our way through 2 pans of peach cobbler, we still had some peaches leftover that was well on their way to becoming overripe. I needed to make something with them instead of throwing them out, and I don’t think we could eat another cobbler. I came across this peach crumble recipe and couldn’t believe how simple it looked so I thought I would try it out. This will be the last of the peach recipes for a bit, I promise. I’m coming to the sad realization that summer is officially over and that we are well on our way to autumn. THE BEST PEACHES TO USE FOR BAKING…

    Easy Peach Cobbler

    September 12, 2021 /

    I’m not sure how it’s September already. Seems like yesterday I was complaining about my sunburn and the 34°C heat. Now the Autumn colours are coming out and the temperatures are cooler, which means I have been baking a lot. Kevin and I made a trip to one of the local Farmers Market in Calgary that we hadn’t been to in a long time. There was so much great-looking produce, but with there only two of us we can’t stock up on too much or it will go bad before we can use it. We ended up buying more than we needed, as we usually do, like a case of…

    This Lemon Poppyseed Loaf Is Perfect For Summer

    May 24, 2021 /

    It’s the end of May and I can’t be the only one that feels like Summer can’t come fast enough! We have been having some crazy weather here in Southern Alberta (hot one day, then raining and snowing the next), and I a ready for the summer heat to arrive and stay. I’m really looking forward to being able to sit outside in the backyard and read books while drinking sangria. This lemon poppyseed loaf has me dreaming of the summer! It has the perfect amount of citrus flavour and is light and fluffy. If you’re not a fan of lemons, you can switch them out for your favourite citrus…

    No-Churn Ice Cream The Perfect Summer Treat

    May 16, 2021 /

    I have always wanted to make ice cream, but I thought I needed an ice cream maker. Which living in Alberta I would only use it a few times a year and then it would sit in storage. I did some searching online for some ice cream recipes that didn’t need to be churned or needed a machine. To my surprise, there are quite a few recipes out there! I came across one from Feed Network, which was fine but extremely sweet. I made one minor adjustment and it is so delicious I have made it 3 more times! Here are some tips to making this ice cream: Put your…

    Mini-Egg Brownies That Will Be An Easter Favorite

    March 28, 2021 /

    Somehow this year Easter has snuck up on me. I am finding that most of the holidays for 2021 have come pretty fast and out of nowhere. It might be that the days all seem to be blending into one another. Needless to say, since it’s Easter I need to make everything with mini eggs! Mini eggs are one of my favourite candies, that and M & M’s. This recipe can be made with chocolate chips instead of mini eggs if you are making these brownies and it’s not Easter. Some tips for making great brownies: For the butter make sure it is melted and cooled but not cold. Leave…

    Homemade Twix Bars Will Make Your Holidays Sweeter.

    December 6, 2020 /

    I used to manage a bakery that made the best homemade Twix bars and I have been trying to replicate the recipe for a couple of years now. I get close but there was always something missing. This recipe is the closest I have ever come! With this recipe, you need to have patience. If you put the next layer on and the one below it hasn’t cooled it will not set properly and you will have everything running together. If you love Twix bars you will love this recipe. It is the perfect combination of shortbread, with creamy caramel and topped with chocolate. Here are some tips for making…

    Classic Blueberry Galette Are the Best Desserts

    November 21, 2020 /

    I became obsessed with galettes on a trip to Vancouver. Kevin and I went to Terra’s Breads and they have a blueberry tart that I fell in love with. I ordered just one to start and by the end, I had eaten three of them. It was so delicious that before we left Vancouver on that trip we made one more trip to Terra’s Bread to get a few more for the drive home. Every time now that I am in Vancouver I have to make a trip there to purchase some of those tarts to hold me over until the next time I go. I decided to try and…

    It’s True, Blondies Do Have More Fun!

    November 15, 2020 /

    This recipe came along when I asked on Instagram stories what kind of recipes people wanted to see. My friend Nicole, who makes amazing bath bombs, asked for a blondie recipe. There were a lot of terrible blondie recipes that came out of this. Some were extremely dry that weren’t even worth eating, others that no matter how long I baked them came out raw in the middle and some were alright but not great. I couldn’t be happier with how this recipe turned out! They have great flavour, are not dry, and are not overly sweet which I was scared they would be with 3 cups of brown sugar…

    The Best Cinnamon Rolls You’ll Ever Eat!

    November 8, 2020 /

    This is my friend Rachel’s recipe and I have to say these are the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had! They are the perfect combination of cinnamon and brown sugar, I’m sure you could add raisins if you felt the need, but I have never felt that. I will warn you these will take a little bit of time, but they are absolutely worth the effort. Some helpful tips for making these: use fast-rising yeast. take your time, these need time to rise and you can’t rush them. make sure your house is warm, so make these on a colder day when the furnace is running. use room temperature ingredients,…
