Recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Butter
It’s the end of summer so I wanted to get in one last summer recipe – strawberry rhubarb butter (no…no butter in it, it’s just thicker than jam, more like butter). No pectin, no canning, and no preservatives – moreover, it’ll keep in the fridge for about 3 weeks (or you can freeze it!). Ingredients 4 cups of rhubarb 3 cups of strawberries (I used frozen, because I had them) 3/4 cup of sugar Juice of one lemon First – harvest your rhubarb, cut it…

Recipe: Churro Donuts
Churro donuts! These donuts turned out way better than my last ones – banana chocolate chip donuts. On this recipe I took what I leaned last time and didn’t fill the tin as full. The first batch is still bigger, but the second is perfect – true see though donuts. Like churro? Try my churro waffles – so yummy. Okay, back to the donuts! Ingredients 1/2 a cup and 2 tablespoons of salted butter 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs 3 cups of flour 5…

Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins
Banana nut muffins are delicious – this time, I added in some chocolate chips. These banana chocolate chip nut muffins are so yummy. I started with my mom’s banana nut muffin recipe – it’s delicious all on it’s own. Oddly, though, here in Alberta I can’t get the tops as dark as she did in Ontario. Different oven, maybe. Different altitude or climate. Who knows. Either way, they taste just as good. Ingredients 1 cup of sugar stick of butter 2 large eggs 3 large…

Recipe: Chocolate Banana Donuts
A few weeks ago I purchased about 12 bananas and let them rot. This is one recipe I was excited to try – chocolate banana donuts, or well, sort of donuts. This was my first time using my donut tin and I leaned a lot! Tip one, don’t fill them too full (or very full at all, for that matter). Ingredients 3 medium large ripe bananas 1/2 cup of melted salted butter 3/4 cup of brown sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup of peanut butter…
