Who ever said you can’t stuff crumbles of rich chocolate cake into little tart shells, then top them off with whipped cream, and then drizzle chocolate sauce over top of all of that sin? (If you’ve ever heard anyone say that then I think you need to distance yourself from him/her. No good could ever […]

Why make a dessert with one layer when five layers are five hundred times better? I learned this lesson when I made the 4-Layer Insanity Bars (brownie on the bottom, then a layer of chocolate chip cookie, then a layer of cheesecake, then ganache to top it all off). Is your heart rate quickening, too? It’s […]

How many more ingredients could I cram into the title of this recipe? I’d have added every single one of the following stunning additions to entice you, but thought the current extend-a-name was verging on ridiculous to begin with: Rum Cinnamon Orange Nutmeg Pecans Bananas (obviously) So there you have it- add the above-mentioned flavors […]

When you make a spectacular sponge toffee candy, you have to chop it up into what’s basically a golden dust and then sprinkle it over top of The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. I made the Hokey Pokey Dark Chocolate Sponge Toffee a couple of months back and thankfully had the foresight to plan for this […]

These are quite spectacularly excellent, as I know you’d expect pretty much anything with bacon in it to be. A friend brought the LCBO’s most fantabulous Food & Drink magazine on a recent visit (one of the things I miss most about Ontario, but not as much as Niagara-on-the-Lake and Cherry Blasters. Oh, and our families, of […]

I know this sounds confusing, so stuck with me and I’m pretty sure you’ll get it. You already know about the glory associated with The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, right? Fudgy, chewy, rich, chocolatey, and other words that describe the best brownie ever. Well. What if you took my Buttermilk Vanilla Birthday Cake and chopped it […]

So I was making my usual egg white pizza lunch (don’t ask) and had a thought: “Wait a minute.” (This deep and insightful thought came to me because I remembered I had whipping cream in the fridge, which I usually don’t.) “I could seriously make creme brûlée right now if I saved these yolks.” Seriously. […]

Why not take a classic and make it seasonal? Because who doesn’t like the flavor of gingerbread? And who doesn’t like the odd chewy bit of candied ginger? (Okay, you won’t see the candied ginger in the loaf above because I forgot to stir it in. I had a truckload of the crystallized stuff and […]

A few weeks back when The Husband and I were moving into our new place (yes, the place where our glorious new oven decided not to work from Day 1, even though our inspector didn’t pick up on it and then the Fisher & Paykel guy who came out and said “it works just fine!” […]

Yes, we have no bananas! Remember that 1920s song? Me neither- but I’ve always liked the title, so there. I do have bananas. Two, in fact, and they’re ripe and ready. When I have three or four waiting on the counter to be put to use in their respective afterlives, I’ll make my Banana Nut […]

So I decided that one of the most classic holiday cookies I make needed to go on a vacation. To the tropics. I bake icebox cookies every year, fondly chopping up the red and green candied cherries while humming songs about Santa. But this year I just couldn’t do the same-old. This year I wanted […]

I do. It’s an oxymoron, I know: Burned Icebox Cookies. Speaking of morons… Let’s just say I’m getting acquainted with our new oven, and we’ve had a few disagreements. I’ve never been the type to rotate pans in the middle of baking a batch of cookies or brownies or whatever, and now I resent that I […]

Okay, holiday turkey-eaters. This recipe isn’t exactly the most creative, but it’s way better than cracking open a can of cranberry sauce this holiday season and letting it kerplunk into a bowl, full of who knows how many additives and preservatives and other things you can’t pronounce. (And if you use the jellied cranberry stuff, […]

This post is dangerous. I’m telling you now, so consider yourself warned. You might have forgotten how freaking amazing peanut brittle is, and even if you haven’t forgotten, you haven’t tasted this. And I speak from unfortunate experience that you simply cannot eat one piece of this brittle in one sitting. (Or one ‘standing’, which […]

I have always wondered how to make these jelly candies, and now that I’ve made them I kind of wish I didn’t know how. Why, you might ask? Because they are immensely easy, and immensely freaking amazing. And now I have another thing I can just whip up and eat too much of. Hm. (Seriously- […]

Yes, this is totally possible and yes, this is totally amazing, so get out your candy thermometer and start cooking up some sugar to make this fudge instantly. Here’s the deal: you make root beer flavored fudge (obviously), and then stir in marshmallows to basically recreate the whole float feel and taste. Brilliant. Two Important Questions […]

I will always always always be modifying banana bread and muffins, until the day that my hands are gnarled from arthritis at the age of 96, or if I’m lucky, 97. I love banana bread/muffins, and alternate between my two favorite recipes: Banana Nut Muffins (a bit more rich and buttery, so therefore my true […]

Yes, this recipe sounds familiar (because we made the muffin version together a few weeks back, remember?)… but THIS. THIS. This is a cake (way more fun than a muffin) and it’s slathered with cream cheese frosting, so it’s a total muffin makeover. (I often wonder how many things cream cheese frosting can go on, […]
