Does this look familiar? IĀ didn’t even realize until I typed out the title to this blog post that this is basically a sweet version of the savoury Roasted Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini. Well let me tell you, it was much better šŸ™‚...
Last month I told Kristine’s sister Mae that I would make her whatever treat she wanted for her birthday when I got back from my work trip. She said her most favourite thing I’ve ever made was the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes from last year....
Ā  In the Spring when I made Butterscotch Cream PieĀ again for Easter, I was reminiscing about a dessert Mom made when we were little that we called Skor Bar Dessert. Mom found the recipe for me (actual name: Toffee Bar Crunch Pie), and it’s made with vanilla instant pudding and a big ol’ tub of......
One of the blog-olutions I made in February on my 1st Blog-iversary was to finally tackle my issues with yeast this year. Something about it has always made me nervous, and it’s always been one of the things I’ve been reluctant to take on in the kitchen.Ā ...
Yup, you know it, back with s’more s’mores! I’ve had these bookmarked since November and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make them, but I’m also glad I saved them for summer!...

I kind of feel the same way about these roasted strawberries. When I saw them on Shutterbean, I bookmarked the recipe right......
  When the RadonsosĀ came over for lunch last month, I made these super quick, fresh and delicious salads. This spicy chickpea salad doesn’t even require any cooking, just a bit of chopping and making a mess and you’re done. It’s a great little dish to bring to a picnic or backyard barbecue.Ā ...
I miss my kitchen so much, you guys! I’ve beenĀ on the road for work (nowhere exciting) and there aren’t really any good eats to talk about*. I’ve been reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook while I’m here (checked it out of the library – I was curious), and there are a few intriguing things I want......
Johnny Mac turned 6 last month, and although I tried to sway him one way (“Are you sure you don’t want Star Wars cookies again?”), he definitely had his own ideas about the treats he wanted (“Well, actually, Auntie Robyn, can’t you make some Marvel cookies?”). After learning my lesson with his sister’s magic wand......
