    Mini Chocolate ‘Molten Lava’ Cakes

    February 15, 2019 / No Comments

    Mini Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes – a delicious blast from the past, and a quick and easy dessert to make when you are craving something a little sweet. Remember the 90’s? Aww, the good old days. I vaguely remember the 90’s, I was a bit of a wild child back then. I’m glad we didn’t have Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat back then to keep a record of our shenanigans back in the day. These little ‘lava’ cakes were a thing back then. Or it may have even started in the late 80s. It’s been a long while since I’ve even thought of making one of these, but I happened to…

    Pear and Chocolate Oat Crumble (Nigel Slater)

    December 30, 2014 / No Comments

    Now for all you Canadian Cooks – get your conversion calculators ready or your kitchen scales – it may help you with the British measurements.  I just kind of roughly converted mine – crisps can be quite forgiving. Ahhh Nigel Slater….you never dissapoint me!  I have such a foodie crush on his brilliance!  He is just truly inspiring!  OK enough about Nigel – lets get to this easy yummy recipe of his. I bought a huge bag of ripe pears at the grocers the other day – when this morning it dawned on me that we may not eat them all up before they go bad, so flipping through one…

    A Wedding Cupcake Tower for Tanya

    September 29, 2014 / No Comments

    My friend’s Tanya and Colin got married over the weekend – and I had volunteered to make the cupcake tower for the wedding – it was a first for me – and I came to the conclusion – that flowers really do make everything look prettier (especially when you are trying to cover up your lack of icing skills) – and that I really don’t enjoy baking as much as I enjoy cooking.  overall though – I think it looked pretty.  I used a tried and true Chocolate Cupcake recipe that we’ve been using for years and a Cream Cheese Icing recipe I found online. I just had to share my pretty picture.  Congrats…

    Zander’s Birthday Feast! Pavlova with Whipped Cream and Fruit

    September 12, 2014 / No Comments

    Tonight was my Husband’s Birthday – I call him Zander – his actual name is Alex – anyway – we usually treat birthdays at our place with a good homecooked meal. What was on the menu for tonight? Can I start with Dessert? I first had Pavlova at Christmas one year.  My Brother In Law’s Sister made it for us and I thought it was such a beautiful dish!  It amazes me how you can transform just a couple simple ingredients into something really special…just a few egg whites and sugar.  I love it topped with loads of fresh whipped cream and tons of berries or seasonal fruit.  Tonight I…

    Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing and Candied Walnuts

    March 18, 2011 / No Comments

    Headed to our last away hockey tournament of the season this weekend, with my son Jared.  Very happy that hockey is almost over and we can have a little break from busy.  Decided to bake some of these little treats to bring along for the kids this weekend..I saw these on another blog..I believe this recipe was originally for a cake – so if you like you could bake in a cake pan – just add some time onto your cook time, or you could make mini muffins too if you like..just decrease your cooking time – you get the picture.  I just made regular standard sized cupcakes. As for…
