    Start Your Day Off Right With This Morning Glory Loaf

    May 11, 2022 /

    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…

    This Apple Caramel Loaf Gives All The Fall Feels

    December 6, 2021 /

    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…

    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.

    This Lemon Poppyseed Loaf Is Perfect For Summer

    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…

    This Blueberry Loaf is Perfect For Spring

    March 21, 2021 /

    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

    September 20, 2020 /

    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…

    Lemon Poppyseed Loaf

    July 12, 2020 /

    When I was on my lemon kick a couple of weeks ago I made this lemon poppyseed loaf. I always try to mix the sugar and lemon zest together to give it a more lemon flavour and this time it didn’t disappoint! If you’re not a fan of lemons you can use any citrus fruit and it would be amazing! This loaf is packed with lemon flavour and because of the yogurt, it is unbelievably moist. If you don’t have yogurt you can use sour cream or even mayonnaise, one of my favourite chocolate cake recipes uses mayo, which will make the loaf moist as well. I hope that you…

    Lemon Loaf

    June 21, 2020 /

    I go through phases where all I want to do is bake with lemons, well that time is now! It seems to always hit at the beginning of summer every year. I tend to make so many different lemon options (muffins, loaves, cupcakes) that by mid-July I am so sick of lemons and don’t make anything with them until the following summer. 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…

    Raspberry Chocolate Chip Loaf

    June 7, 2020 /

    I was cleaning out my freezer the other day and came across some frozen raspberries and thought I should use them before they got freezer burnt or I forget about them again for another month, or longer. I wanted to try something different than the usual muffins or pie. I was looking online for a couple of days to find something to try and came across this Raspberry Chocolate Chip Loaf recipe and thought I would give it a try. I made a few minor changes to this recipe, I didn’t have yogurt and almond extract so I used sour cream and vanilla extract, but otherwise, I stayed pretty true…
