Lime Meltaway Cookies Have Me Dreaming of Spring
This week the temperatures here have been wonderful. We went from -31 C to 2 C which felt like we could be outside working on our tans. The warmer temperatures felt so nice, and I’m sure they will only be here for a short time, seeing as we are only in February. When I was on my citrus kick a few weeks ago I came across these Lime Meltaway Cookies, which are essentially lime shortbread cookies, and I knew I had to try them out. These cookies have such a great citrus taste from the fresh lime juice and zest in the cookie as well as the icing. These would…

Coconut Lime Crinkle Cookies Have Me Dreaming of Summer
I have been on a citrus kick for the past couple of weeks and I don’t think it will stop anytime soon. This time of year I tend to make a ton of things with citrus, I think it has something to do with the cold temperatures.

I find you get a better flavour with fresh lemon juice than lemon extract but if that’s all you have then it will be fine. If you do have fresh lemon juice, mix the zest in with the sugar and it will make for a more flavorful taste…

Grapefruit Poppyseed Loaf
This week I wanted to make a loaf of some kind but I wasn’t sure what. I went down a rabbit hole on multiple websites, some I had heard of others I hadn’t, and came across a Grapefruit Poppyseed Loaf. I love grapefruit! It is one of my favorite citrus fruits! I found this recipe on Bon Appetit from 2016 and knew I had to try it. If grapefruit is not your thing, you can substitute it for lemon or orange, either would work well for this loaf. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! INGREDIENTS 1½ cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher…
