Mardi Gras is coming up this Tuesday, so our treat this week is in honour of New Orleans: a pralines and cream ice cream cake. You can see by my picture that I took this in a different direction, so let me first explain what this recipe is supposed to look like. The recipe as......
Finally, finally, finally I had S’mores Cupcake success!!! I don’t know what it is, but I have the worst luck ever with marshmallow frostings. Even when I’m so careful and follow every tip in the book – making sure my egg whites are room temperature, have no trace of yolks, using a metal bowl, wiping......
It’s well known that I have a serious love affair with S’mores and the holy trinity of graham + milk chocolate + marshmallow. This relationship hasn’t been without it’s trials and tribulations over the years though, all due to homemade marshmallow making in a variety of forms. There was this pie, where the marshmallow never......
It’s my first Baked Sunday Morning from Baked Occasions! Yay! The group actually started a couple weeks ago with these Election Palmiers, but I didn’t really feel like making my own puff pastry, plus I just knew that a S’MORES recipe would be the perfect place for me to start (evidence here). These cookies are......
When Nicole & Geoff came over for brunch in the summer, they mentioned that they wanted to throw a big engagement party in the Fall, but not just an engagement party, a PIG ROAST! This has been something Nicole’s been wanting to do for years, and they were so cute and excited as they asked......

For our second recipe of Janelle week, we’re having S’mores Rice Krispie Squares. I’m a sucker for anything involving the holy trinity of milk chocolate, graham and toasted marshmallow, and so is Janelle. I made these for two reasons: 1) She was mad at me because I got a new job and will be transferring......
This week was Gastropost’s 100th Mission, and to celebrate, we got to create our own mission! I was thinking back to the first few Missions I did back in the summer of 2012, and of course when my thoughts turn to summer treats, that means only one thing to me: S’MORES! For my S’mores mission......
Last weekend, my new friend from work had a BBQ (yes! I was invited again!) on the rooftop terrace at her condo. It was the second day in a row of a mini-heat wave; one of those sticky, humid days that required a maxi dress and accepting that your hair will get bigger and......
As I mentioned the other day, the most anticipated item from my Trader Joe’s haul was Cookie Butter. Everything I heard and read about it had me super excited and curious about the magic that would be unleashed when I cracked open a jar. First, let me try my best to describe Cookie Butter: it......
