This is the time of year that I just want to make apple everything. I want to go apple picking, and then come home and make applesauce, apple butter, rhubarb apple pie, apple muffins, apple crisp… the sky’s the limit! Also, I have to say, the smell of fresh baked apple things and cinnamon at […]
It’s almost the day of love, and these cupcake Valentines are the perfect way to bring the whole family into the celebration! This is a tutorial that I created for kids years ago, when I first started my blog. I wasn’t married yet, and the ladies in the pictures are my little sisters, back when […]
Hey everybody, welcome back to the blog! This week I want to share with you yet another sweet treat in honour of the fast-approaching Valentine’s Day: Milk Chocolate Truffles.

Hey guys, today I’m so excited to tell you all about my new ebook, “The Naked Cake, A Step-by-Step Guide.” This tutorial is something I did the bulk of the work on years ago, and– fun fact– it was actually for a double wedding! The cake made for this book was actually 2, twin cakes! […]

The chosen item of the day is these beautiful, lace-inspired Valentine’s Day sugar cookies! Some notes on this tutorial: This tutorial is […]
Sugar cookies: one of the staples of a happy kitchen, I think. Nothing quite matches the taste of a warm sugar cookie with tea, and there are few things more enjoyable than making memories with small people by cutting out cookies into whatever delightful shapes the season would suggest.

Hey guys! Once again, I’m back with another mouth watering recipe. Today’s edition is this golden, flaky crusted goodness: Chicken Pot Pie.

Hey guys, it’s me again– and today, with a recipe that I love: German Chocolate Brownies.
