I’ve been off work this week and basically reverted to #lockdownlife while I try not to get sick before Christmas. What better way to pass the time than to make some super fussy cookies? Now, I normally stay away from any type of labour intensive cookies that you have to roll out, cut out, or......
This time last year, we were in lockdown and I decided to try to find my holy grail Ginger Molasses Cookie recipe. I normally never like making the same recipe or type of recipe multiple times because I lose interest really fast, but I was bored so thought it was a good time for some......
When Claire posted her recipe for English Muffins back in the summer, I borrowed my brother’s cast-iron skillet so I could give them a try. This was perfect timing, because he was about to embark on a kitchen reno, so there wouldn’t be any cooking happening over there for a while. But then I kept......
This is just a quick post to remind myself that this Double Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is perfect. These cookies are thick, chewy, deeply chocolate-y and excellent for a variety of additions. I vividly remember being let down by the last double chocolate chip cookie recipe I tried last summer, because I included it in......
People have started coming back to the office! Last week I had two of my co-workers come back for a day, so I welcomed them with this Pumpkin Coffee Cake which was a big hit. This week two different teammates were in, so I used up the rest of my pumpkin puree from the can......
I guess I’m in a little bit of a baking rut. I haven’t felt motivated to try any new recipes, other than what Claire posts every Thursday on her show. I know summer fruit season is coming soon, so hopefully I’ll feel a bit more excited about being in the kitchen again. While I wait......
Bakers Against Racism activated once again in April, to stand against Asian Hate in light of recent hate crimes against the AAPI community. I knew I wanted to participate right away, and launched a Spring Treat Box with all proceeds going to the Chinese Canadian Council for Social Justice. I also matched all treat box......
As a person with a lot of hobbies, you know things are getting dire when I will actually admit that I’m BORED. Yes, I have shows I’m watching, books I’m reading, and cross-stitch projects underway, but I’m just feeling a general sense of boredom settling over it all. I hate to say it, but I’m......
I started brainstorming for a Valentine’s Day Treat Box as soon as Christmas was over. I loved my Christmas boxes so much, so I wanted to do a version with various heart shaped/pink/red treats to spread a little love. I’ve always loved baking for Valentine’s Day, because there’s none of the pressure or urgency of......
I’ve really been missing Baked Sunday Mornings lately. I would usually take a break from the group each year over the holidays because of other baking plans, and then would re-join with renewed passion and commitment every January. Because we wrapped up our journey back in May, this was the first January in 10 years......
