Last week I showed you all how to dry oranges in the oven, and now I’m going to share a tutorial for these natural Christmas ornaments, featuring dried oranges and cinnamon. My Christmas tree is sort of a blend of the natural/wooden/homemade look and the sparkly/magical look. I always find myself especially drawn to the […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]

Then… Out if nowhere… it was like there was music in the air. Some kind of song that probably went like this: “Love, love love love love loooooove… You know […]
