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......
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......
I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for ages, and even though I’m trying not to make any BA recipes, I just couldn’t delete it. I had a hunch these cookies would be like Sesame Snaps* in cookie formation, and I just had to see if I was right. I also unearthed a plastic bag of toasted......
