We’re getting back to basics with this week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe: the original Baked recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. I’m actually pretty partial to this peanut butter cookie recipe as my go-to, but I’m always open to trying something new. This recipe meets my main cookie criteria: slightly crispy edges, but soft and chewy......
I can’t believe we’re down to the last few recipes in Baked Occasions! Most of them are cookie recipes since the Baked Boys included a “12 Days of Cookies” section for Christmas, and we need to catch up. This week we mixed up these Peanut Butter Butterscotch Cookies, which are just a straightforward peanut butter......
When one of your foodie friends is celebrating a big birthday, it’s time to bust out the big guns with a special cake. For Tasty G‘s big day, it had to be a Take 5 Birthday Cake. I wasn’t acquainted with the Take 5 Candy Bar until I met Heather. It’s her favourite, and whenever......
I’m a little behind, as the Baked Sunday Morning crew made these muffins two weeks ago. Two things though: a) that was Thanksgiving up here in Canada and I was baked out b) there was no way I was tackling today’s recipe. Not that I have anything against Baked Alaska, it’s just a fairly long......
My lovely friend Aoife is getting married this May, and we celebrated her wedding shower a few weeks ago. I offered to bring treats, and they needed to be both gluten-free and dairy-free for the bride-to-be. After consulting my Oh She Glows cookbook, a few other websites, and remembering what I made for her sister’s......
The second dessert I made for my Blog-iversary party is another one I’ve wanted to make for years, and has a bit of a back story behind it. In 2011, food writer and blogger Jennie Perillo lost her husband suddenly. In response to the outpouring of support and people asking what they could do to......
Texas Sheet Cake isn’t really a thing up here in the Great White North. I hadn’t heard of it until about 2008 when I started reading food blogs, and saw The Pioneer Woman’s recipe. Her recipe is a thin chocolate cake that you top with a boiled chocolate and pecan frosting, and it’s supposed to......
This week we’re celebrating another amazing cookbook, and this one is all about entertaining at home. Gatherings by Jan Scott and Julie Van Rosendaal is subtitled “Bringing People Together with Food”, and I love everything that stands for. My obsession with Julie runs deep, and is currently in its 5th year. Ever since she changed my life......
I was really excited for this week’s Baked recipe as the peanut butter consumption in my life has fallen dramatically over the past two months. See, my new cubicle neighbour at work has a severe peanut allergy, so I’ve stopped bringing peanut butter to work, which is really sad for me, but as I don’t......
When you see a Baked layer cake on the Baked Sunday Morning schedule, you really have to evaluate your life and decide if you have time to bake it, and can fit it into your schedule. It also helps to find a family event or someone’s birthday on your calendar to give you an excuse......
