2022 Christmas Treats – Lemon Amaretti made with Aquafaba

Oh how fast the big day is approaching!  Still, a thrill seeing all the delicious recipes out there and selecting which ones to share with you.  When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it! I’ve made amaretti before, blogged about it, big big fan of it. But this is different, not [...]

2022 Christmas Treats – Tiramisu-Like Roll

I wasn’t going to blog this, I got the idea from one of those foreign Instagram reels with no measurements, but I figured – coffee and liqueur soaked biscuits, alcohol laced mascarpone, whipped cream and fresh berries! Can I really screw this up?! So here is a our first 2022 Christmas Treat - A Tiramisu [...]

Lemon Crumble Breakfast Cake

Hey, I don’t make up the rules, but if it says Breakfast Cake, is it really a cake? I was sent this recipe by one of my followers on social media (thanks Judy!). It is a Lemon Crumble Breakfast Cake. It had a lot of boxes checked off from my list, lemon – check, crumble [...]

Chocolate Pudding – A Valentine Treat

Does anything say loving more than Chocolate Pudding!! You have lots of time to make this, you only need unsweetened cocoa, any type of nut milk (I used almond, but the original called for oat milk - either would work as well), and some dark chocolate. Garnish with anything you want, I happened to have [...]

Celebration of the Lunar New Year – Almond Cookies

This is a lovely recipe for a delightful cookie that always reminds me of the walks my girlfriend (relax, she's now my wife) and I would take through the streets of Chinatown! I've mentioned before that she has a sweet tooth so inevitably, we would enter more bakeries to see, smell (and eventually) taste the [...]

Persimmon Cake

Don't you love persimmons?!  I do, delicious orbs of goodness that scream to be chopped or quartered and added to an arugula or spinach salad. Maybe diced into a fruit salad with mango and blackberry or just enjoyed as mid day pick-me-up snack. Research always gives me so many ideas apart from those mentioned above, [...]

Family Recipe – Crème Caramel

The wonderful thing about cleaning up is you find all kinds of things treasures you never knew you had or (in my case – ahem, my wife calls it junk), that you never thought you had. Well we found this treasure of a recipe which was from my mother-in-law who was a wonderful baker. This [...]

2021 Christmas Treat #12 – Glazed Sugar Cookies

There has to be one fun cookie you must make every year and this year, this is mine. Decorating these was always a fun event in our house. But the grown up kids won’t be here until Christmas day and that is too late for my last treat! This is a great sugar cookie recipe [...]

2021 Christmas Treat #11 – Chocolate Fruitcake

Is it cheating if I give you another fruitcake recipe? Technically, this is a chocolate fruitcake so it is different! I had this extra marinated fruit from when I initially planned on making my fusion style fruitcake for you but ended up making the Fruitcake Cookies – Treat #5, instead. Which used up a fraction [...]

2021 Christmas Treat #8 – Crunchy Sponge Toffee

Unless you have been hiding from all forms of social media over the last few months, you will have heard of the Squid Games. I fell in love with this show from the second episode. Although the first episode set the context, I wasn’t sure I’d continue with it until I saw a preview of [...]
