Start Your Day Off Right With This Morning Glory Loaf
I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post! So much has happened since then, the cliff notes version is I left my Marketing job to go work for another company I thought would be great. Turns out it wasn’t and I left there after only two months. I am just waiting to hear my start date from another place which I”m sure will be much better, it honestly can’t be worse than the last place. Working at that new place I didn’t have time to focus on my baking so I had to put it on hold, which was fine but I had started to gain momentum…

The Eggnog Loaf That Will Be A Holiday Hit
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…

This Apple Caramel Loaf Gives All The Fall Feels
This recipe came from a lot of trial and error. I had wanted to make a Salted Caramel Loaf and it just wasn’t working out, and not from lack of trying. This was about the 7th recipe that came from a lot of loaves either tasting like just vanilla cake, or the loaf flavours not complimenting each other well at all. This loaf has quite a few steps to it and I wouldn’t recommend making this your first loaf ever to make. I have tried to break this down into manageable steps, so hopefully, it all makes sense. I thought this loaf would be a bigger hit than it really…

Pumpkin Loaf With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing is Perfect for Fall
For October I decided to try something new and offer a seasonal loaf that will only be available for the month. To my surprise, it was an overwhelming success! I am still blown away by the support that I receive with my baking! When I was trying to come up with this recipe I made this loaf probably about six or seven times and I always felt that it was missing something. I wasn’t sure if I should add pumpkin seeds to it or pecans but nothing was seeming to be the right fit for it. Once I added the icing to it though I felt that it was perfect!…

My Favourite Banana Bread Recipe
There is something about this time of year when the weather is getting cooler that all I want to do is bake with cinnamon. I know this is a spice that you either love or hate but it has that warm cozy feeling to it that I want to use cinnamon in everything! Kevin and I were also discussing things that our grandparents used to do when baking, and we got on the topic of banana bread. Neither one of us ever remember opening up grandma’s freezer to find twenty overripe bananas in there. It seems like this became a thing more recently, and I decided to see if there…

Colder Temperatures Calls For Earl Grey Loaves
This is one of my all-time favorite loaves! This to me is comfort food at its finest. This loaf is like putting on your favorite sweater when fall hits. It's like that old friend you haven't seen in a long time and forgot how much you missed them.

This Lemon Poppyseed Loaf Is Perfect For Summer
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…

This Blueberry Loaf is Perfect For Spring
In Calgary, the weather has been unreal. I don’t mean to brag but we have been having temperatures of 10°C and above, which is 50°F for my American friends, and it’s only the beginning of March! We have been able to sit outside and have drinks on the patio in the afternoon already. I honestly don’t remember this happening this early in the year before. With all the warm weather it feels like spring is here, which means that we should be making all those baked goods we love to eat in Spring. Like anything with citrus (which I just went through a lemon and lime phase), or all the…

The Only Banana Bread Recipe You’ll Ever Need
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the bananas seem to be ripening faster than normal these days. I’m not sure if they are in transit longer than normal but it seems like within two days they are beyond ripe and I’m heading back to the grocery store to buy more bananas. Needless to say, I have a freezer full of ripe bananas right now and was needing to do something with them. This is the only banana bread recipe you will ever need. It is very easy and you can double it to make as many banana bread loaves as you need to use up those overripe bananas…
