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 Blueberry Muffin That Will Become Your Go-To
I have been trying to take it a little easy on the baking right now. I still feel like I ate like a savage over the holidays and I should be cutting back a bit still. Enter my favourite blueberry muffin recipe. This is my go-to muffin recipe when I just need to have a snack around that is not loaded with chocolate. You can substitute any berry with this recipe. I have made this with blackberries, and raspberries, and I have even used peaches with it as well. I use the exact same amount as I did for the blueberries and they have always turned out. If I don’t…

Classic Blueberry Galette Are the Best Desserts
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…

My Favorite Blueberry Scone Recipe, and Soon to be Yours
It hasn’t been that long that have been making scones. To be honest I was terrified to make them. I always thought they would be a lot of work and that they wouldn’t turn out. To my surprise, they are one of the easiest things I have ever made! I love making scones and then having them for breakfast for the next couple of days or taking them to work for snacks to have to either get me through to lunch or in the afternoon when I’m starving. In this recipe, you could substitute the blueberries with any type of berry you would like and they would turn out great!…

Blueberry Popsicle – Perfect Way to Beat the Summer Heat
I am loving the never-ending Summer here in Southern Alberta! The weather has been perfect this past week, so perfect we haven’t had to run the air conditioner in the house. This is my favourite time of year, the weather is perfect and the items that are in season right now are everything I love! The blueberries, peaches, blackberries, and rhubarb all make such fantastic desserts. A couple of weeks ago we were in BC and it was the peak of peach season, so of course, we bought a case of peaches. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, we ate all the peaches before I could…

Baking on a Budget
Baking can be expensive there is no doubt about that. If you are wanting a nice stand mixer they start at $300 and go up from there. Which I know is out of some people’s price range, it was out of mine for the longest time. I had to save up a lot of money and wait for the mixers to go on sale before I bought mine. If you are just starting out baking or if you have been baking for a bit but money is tight here are some tips that I find helpful, and I use these to this day. Cupcake/Muffin Liners – I seriously hate spending…
