I had a chocolate craving so I made these, and they definitely hit the spot! Mine ended up being quadruple chocolate chip because I only had milk and white striped chocolate chips (rather than just one or the other), but I wasn’t complaining about it! Continue reading

The Perfect Pulled Chicken
Pulled sandwiches always look delicious, and, since I don’t eat pork, I was determined to find the perfect pulled chicken…and I think I did! This recipe is great for summer BBQs, and would be a perfect addition to your Canada or Independence day celebrations. Continue reading
Zebra Fudge Cookies
It’s a big week for me: it’s my birthday, I got a new job (soon to be a Brand Coordinator for Lifetime and Food Network!), and I’m a guest blogger for FoodStory – this great startup that provides information on Toronto’s farmers markets and even has delivery if you can’t make it (or can and just can’t carry it all home). I wrote about my why for starting this blog, my love of markets Continue reading
Chewy Chocolate Toffee Cookies
Apparently I’m on a caramel-y kick, which is fine with me because my Nana loved the stuff (as I mentioned in the Werther’s cookies recipe) so it’s got a special place in my heart/stomach. This is a great simple recipe which spreads out during baking creating a chewy yet thin, chocolatey, toffee-y, cookie goodness. Continue reading
Wonderful Werther’s Caramel Cookies
My Papa (grandfather) was given a package of Werther’s Original Hard Candies as a gift from his neighbour, but he gave them to me because it was his wife, my Nana, who loved the decadent candies – a taste she passed on to my mother, who has in turn (fortunately, and unfortunately) passed on to me. Since I had this big package, I decided to get creative Continue reading
Enticing Cauliflower with Mustard-Lemon Butter
I’m always open to trying new foods, and my ever-present curiosity often results in interesting ‘I do not like this’ faces. Recently, my mom made a cauliflower side dish and the dressing smelt so good that I decided to brave the strange vegetable again…and I liked it! While my feelings towards the undressed version of the colourless cousin of broccoli haven’t changed, Continue reading
Incredible Rocky Road Cookies
I saw a picture for these cookies and they looked so amazing that I had to do some hunting to find the recipe so that I could try them. Upon going through the ingredients, I was surprised to find out that they were gluten-free and instantly became quite skeptical…how could cookies be good without flour?! I kept an open mind and made them, and, I don’t know how they do it, but they are incredible! Continue reading
Blissful Butterscotch Bars
Warning: these are dangerously good. I’m house/offspring sitting family friends and Georgia (from Georgia’s Blueberry Cake) and I went through 5 cookbooks before we chose this recipe. They take a while to make, and need tons of time to cool (like 3+ hours), but they are completely worth it…just don’t do what I did and listen to Georgia’s impatient 15 year old brother and cut them too soon! Continue reading
Official Delightful Nanaimo Bars
There are many phrases I like to live by, ‘Do it right’ is one of them. So when I decided to make Nanaimo bars, I searched and found the official recipe from Nanimo, British Columbia. It’s an easy, no-bake recipe, and since the first time I made them, they have been a favourite chocolate craving of my mother’s and mine. Continue reading
Melting Chocolate Chip Meringues
These meringues are a light, sweet, chocolately escape. They are simple to make, melt in your mouth, and are a great dessert or snack. My mom makes these every year for Passover, but I eat them all year round. Enjoy! Continue reading
