A few weeks ago my Mom saved me a section of the National Post, because it was all about rhubarb. Turns out, this was actually part of a new feature in the paper called Gastropost!It works like so: each week a new food-related mission is posted, you can complete the mission, and then post about it......
On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate + marshmallow....
The farewell treat tour was going along swimmingly until we hit Day 3. This certain co-worker who tries my patience came over to get a slice of this tart that morning. I had cut the slices VERY small (16 slices from a 9″ tart) and the following exchange took place:...
Do you remember what you were doing on January 2, 2010? I don’t, but evidently I was bookmarking this recipe for S’mores Crème Brûlée. In my ongoing effort to work my way through my age old favourites folder, I decided to make these for my Oscar gathering last night....
It’s been way too long since my first Baked Sunday Morning, so we’re diving right back in for 2012 with these Pecan Tassies! Basically what we have here is a super duper cute mini pecan pie, made with an easy butter and cream cheese dough and a brown sugar pecan filling. (P.S. It sounds way more posh......
It has traditionally been a source of irritation to me that once our Canadian Thanksgiving is finished in October, all the American blogs start talking about their Thanksgiving plans, which makes me very jealous. Since I have a dining room table now, I decided to have an American Thanksgiving Potluck a.k.a. Friendsgiving Feast! (Yes, a......
Dessert in a jar was so on trend for Summer 2011. I had been seeing cute ideas all over the blogosphere, but it was the cherry cheesecake in jar at Charcut that really put me over the edge. I found a package of 12 jars at Wal-Mart for about $10, and I was super excited to bust them......
Nicole hosted a late summer BBQ a few weeks ago and cooked up an absolute feast for us. This girl is definitely a true cook – no recipes in sight. She tastes and adjusts as she goes, and just uses whatever she thinks will work together. I so admire this; I rely on recipes (probably......
Does this look familiar? I 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 🙂...
In the Spring when I made Butterscotch Cream Pie 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......
