Recipe: Valentine’s Day Smarties Cookies
Valentine’s day cookies – with pink and red smarties! What more could you ask for? I know…they could be gluten free. I’ve yet to find a flour that works as well as cake flour – the only problem, I can’t eat them. My staff love them, though and I do heart them. Okay – time to get baking. This is my basic and standard cookie mix with smarties. I’ve made them as chewy rainbow cookies and my favourite, white chocolate chip and candy corn cookies.…

Project: Christmas Recap
Christmas recap – this is a little throwback to some of the recipes and projects I’ve done in the past. This year, I’m taking the holidays a little slower and not focused so much on making things, but rather spending time with my husband and my two dear puppies who most likely won’t be around too much longer. My heart is full and things are great! Christmas Recap Just because I’m slowing down, however, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a few favourites, right? In 2013…

Recipe: Chewy Rainbow Cookies
Chewy rainbow cookies for the holidays? Yes. I’m not a big fan of green and red together, those colours kind of clash, right? They look far better when there is some silver or white to break up the contrast. Anyway, my point is that if you don’t want to use rainbow colours then you could use green, red and white to make them more holiday like. Okay, let’s bake up! Ingredients 2 cups of cake flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 teaspoon of corn…

Recipe: Winter Eats
It’s starting to get quite cold out and the days are getting darker and darker. Thus, time to share some of my favourite winter eats!

Time to eat some lentil chili or put on a pot of apple cider. Winter Eats For main course, two of my favourites – lamb steak and beef short…
