    The Eggnog Loaf That Will Be A Holiday Hit

    January 9, 2022 /

    It wouldn’t be the holidays if there wasn’t an overabundance of eggnog. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of eggnog, or mixing any alcohol with milk products, sounds like you are asking for a disaster. This recipe had quite a few iterations, I couldn’t seem to get the loaf part tasting anything like eggnog. It seemed to either taste like plain white cake or vanilla. I think it was about the fifth time I finally got it right! I find this cake tastes better the following day once the glaze has had time to soak into the loaf. It seems to really bring out the eggnog flavour in…

    Easy Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars That Will Make You Feel Like a Kid Again.

    January 1, 2022 /

    Love or hate them, everyone’s mom used to make these. They are peanut butter bars that have fruit-flavoured mini marshmallows in them. They made an appearance only once a year, usually around the holidays, and they seem to be very much like raisins, you either love them or hate them. I decided to add them to the Christmas menu this year, Kevin and I had the debate if people would actually order these or if they would just be added and only one person would order them. I am happy to say that they were a larger hit than either Kevin or I could have imagined! There was one afternoon…

    Mini-Egg Cookies The Perfect Treat For Easter

    April 3, 2021 /

    I do tend to make these cookies every Easter just so I can have that special treat. This year I made them ahead of time and put some in the freezer so that they will last longer, or that is the plan, I will let you know if that plan works. These cookies are my weakness. Every time I make them I tend to eat the most of them. I also hide them so Kevin doesn’t find them just so I can eat more of them. This doesn’t happen very often with the baking I do, thankfully, but for some reason these cookies I can’t seem to control myself. Easter…

    The Butterscotch Nut Bar You Need This Holiday

    December 23, 2020 /

    This recipe has been a long trial and error process. When I worked at the bakery we had a square like this and it was Kevin’s favourite. I have been trying to make this recipe like the one that’s used at this bakery and this is the closest I have come to the recipe. Kevin has been the guinea pig trying a lot of different recipes of this, some good, some bad and this was the one that he says is the closest. This will be my last Christmas recipe for 2020. I want to thank everyone for coming and checking out my recipes every week, I really appreciate you…

    ‘Tis The Season For Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies.

    December 20, 2020 /

    This is the perfect time of year to bust out all crinkle cookies! The chocolate crinkle cookies are great when you are needing a chocolate fix. Red velvet ones are perfect for adding colour to your holiday baking and they taste delicious too! I came across this recipe from Broma Bakery, made it once, and fell in love with it. These cookies are soft and chewy and flavorful. When I make a recipe the first time I make it as exactly as the recipe calls, then I tend to make my edits and tweaks until I get it to what I think is right. This recipe I don’t think I…

    It Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without Whipped Shortbread Cookies

    December 12, 2020 /

    I make these cookies every year at Christmas, and I always love how they taste! I love the way they melt in your mouth and taste little pieces of buttery goodness. The trick to making great shortbread is to whip the butter and sugar until it’s almost white. I use this tip with most of the cookies I make, the cookies turn out better. These cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday baking, and they make a perfect gift as well. I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday baking as much as I am!

    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…

    The Best Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies That Will Make The Holidays Better!

    November 29, 2020 /

    If you never had Crinkle Cookies, you really need to ask yourself WHY? These cookies are like bite-sized brownies lightly covered in icing sugar, so they are chocolatey and sweet! You can make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies or Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies. Both of them are delicious but the chocolate ones always remind me of the Holiday season. I don’t make these cookies often cause I tend to be the one that sits there and eats them all in one sitting. Let me know what your favourite Holiday treat is! INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup icing sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch DIRECTIONS In…

    The Best Southern Pecan Pie Recipe.

    November 22, 2020 /

    I spent a little time in Atlanta in the early 2000s and we went to this Farmers Market and they had some of the absolute best Pecan Pie I’d ever had, even to this day I would say it’s some of the best. If you’ve ever been to Atlanta or the Southern United States you know that they really do have the best pecan pie! I still think about this pecan pie often and have tried to recreate it many times. I think I have come pretty close to it with this recipe. The secret I find is in the corn syrup. For the longest time, I was only using…
