Today I’m going to share my eccles cakes recipe with you, which has been one of my favourites in recent years. I got this recipe at first from my friend Sarah, who has British heritage, and who knows how to make a tea party the right kind of way. These are one of those “Perfect […]
Ok my friends, today is the day you learn how to dry oranges in the oven. Orange slices, that is, for decoration, potpourri, or you name it. The world is your oyster! This is something I’ve wanted to learn how to do for a lot of years for the purpose of decorating with them. Also, […]
What is one of the best tasks to find yourself needing to accomplish on a summer day? I’m guessing this: angling a large mouthful of light, fluffy, not-too-sweet (but just sweet enough) strawberry shortcake into your mouth. Likewise, a similarly great task would be angling a second bite of that same strawberry shortcake into your […]
Yes. This is my second time posting a cranberry recipe this month. First I make Cranberry Bran Muffins, and now, I give you: a beautiful cranberry nut roll. I love cranberries, and I would love to put them into almost everything I make at this time of year. They’re so beautiful and just BURST with […]
With Christmas coming around the corner, I figured it was time to write about some buttery, sweet, beautiful homemade treats we can all make for the holiday season. These miniature cherry turnovers are just the thing! The best thing about these pastries is that everything can be prepped in advance – which means that you […]
These muffins are delicious. I created this recipe for my husband and I while we were looking to increase our daily intake of fibre, and he was needing to be off of dairy at the time. They came out so nicely, and I can’t believe how perfect the sweetness is for how little sugar is […]
Well everybody, Christmas is around the corner, and I think it’s time we all started (if you haven’t already) to make some cookies! For me, I usually kick of the Christmas baking season with one easy, favourite recipe that isn’t the most fancy or most special. This chocolate sugar cookie recipe is just such a one […]
My favourite times as a kid always involved getting to do things with my older sisters, and most especially if those things involved eating good food. I especially remember loving days where Mom would organize tea parties or meals that involved everyone assembling their own food, passing bowls and plates of good things around the […]
I love spring, and these simple, sweet blossom cookies are just perfect for this time of year. I’ve made cookies like this as favours for bridal showers and weddings, or just as a sweet treat to welcome the season. Regardless of whether you’re serving these on a pretty plate with pastel napkins or packaged up in […]
This recipe is a family favourite: it’s made with spiced, strong coffee, whipped cream, ice cream, and eggnog – making it one of the most festive, delicious, filling beverages you can possibly imagine. The coffee helps cut on the sweetness of the eggnog a little, and the addition of real, unsweetened whipped cream adds to […]
