In the world of recipes, great pastry seems to be one of those things that is hard to come by. Yet, when you do find a great one, it is one of those things that you must keep, treasure, and memorize in order that it might never escape your grasp again. Behind every […]
If there’s anything I’m loving right now, it’s this recipe for simple puff pastry. Puff pastry is one of those things that feels like it should be really hard to make, but to my delight… It’s actually really not. Those beautiful, fluffy pastry layers can be made at home, by you, without too much stress […]
Yes. This is my second time posting a cranberry recipe this month. First I make Cranberry Bran Muffins, and now this. Somehow, however… I am not sorry! I love cranberries, and pretty much I would love to put them into almost everything I make at this time of year. They’re so beautiful and just BURST […]
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. The best thing about these pastries is that everything can be prepped in advance – which means that you can have freshly baked pastries on Christmas morning […]
Hey guys! It’s me again, with another winner for your recipe collection! My Aunt Anita, or “Tante ‘Nita” as we call her (who is an amazing cook/baker), gave this recipe to my mom years ago. And, well, I’ve learned that any recipe you find in my mom’s house that has “Tante ‘Nita” written on it […]

This particular recipe is super simple and quick, and it turns out a product that’s a whole lot more impressive looking than they are complicated […]
Hey everyone! Here’s a simple recipe for a rainy day. Or a sunny day. Or any other kind of day, actually, because every day (except diet day, but we don’t talk about that) is a good day for pie, am I right?? My mom used to talk about a blueberry pie recipe she had, with […]
Rhubarb pie is one of my favourite things, in every form that I’ve had it. I’ve seen it before it with strawberries, sour cream, crumble topping, and all by itself; but, until I made it recently, I’d never seen it combined with apples. To me that seemed a little odd since the sweet, juicy flavour […]
Yes. I made croissants. From scratch. With my bare hands. VICTORY! 😀 You have no idea how happy I was! I decided to make these because I came across This Challenge on another blog, and couldn’t help myself; I’ve been wanting to make these for a while anyway, and that was just the “Umph” I […]
