    Colder Temperatures Calls For Earl Grey Loaves

    August 15, 2021 /

    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.

    Lemon No-Churn Ice Cream To Beat The Summer Heat

    June 24, 2021 /

    I haven’t posted a recipe in a couple of weeks and I have been missing creating recipes. I’ve been busy fulfilling the online orders I’ve been getting! I honestly can not thank everyone enough for all the love and support since I launched selling my baking! This weekend Southern Alberta is in a heat warning, and it will be running into the majority of next week. I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining, cause I do love the heat, and our summers are so short, but it is very hot here and will be until the end of the week. Since the heat seems to be here for a…

    My Backup Chocolate Cake, Cause Everyone Needs A Backup

    June 1, 2021 /

    Everyone has a couple of cake recipes in their arsenal, this one is my backup chocolate cake. The one that is super easy to make and I know it will always turn out. My go-to chocolate cake, which can be found here, is a little fussier to make and I needed a chocolate cake to practice my icing skills on. This cake is delicious and super moist and if you are just starting out making cakes from scratch, this recipe is the one for you. I make this cake often and like I said I have never had it not turn out. Tips for making a great chocolate cake: Make…

    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…

    This Hummingbird Cake Is Perfect For Mother’s Day

    May 9, 2021 /

    My obsession with hummingbird cake goes way back. I love the banana and pineapple combination together, and that it’s topped with cream cheese icing makes it even better. If you are tired of the regular banana cake or looking to make something a little different with the bananas in your freezer, I would highly recommend this cake. I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share for Mother’s Day this year! If you are able to spend this Mother’s Day with your mom, make her this cake she will love it.

    Country Harvest Whole Wheat Bread With Honey

    May 1, 2021 /

    I love a good loaf of bread. There’s nothing better than bread right out of the oven with lots of butter, it’s heaven. This recipe came from me getting angry at the cost of bread, actually at the cost of terrible bread. We used to buy this whole wheat bread that had lots of different seeds in it and every time we went to buy it the price went up, and not by small amounts. Needless to say, after this happened the third time I said screw it, I’m sure I can make this bread for under $5. This bread came pretty quickly and easily, the testing phase for this…

    I loved Rice Krispie Squares as a kid, mom made them all the time for us. It is such a simple treat to make and they taste so good! Even today I still like Rice Krispie squares. I decided to make a twist on those treats I love so much! I have made them with Honey Combs, and Fruit Loops but my favourite is to make them with Lucky Charms. Here are some Tips and Tricks to making these squares. Line the pan with parchment paper. This way you don’t have to worry about extra butter on your fingertips, or the other extreme of your bars sticking to the pan.…
