French Crullers with Honey Glaze

After making these doughnuts, I have a new appreciation for Tim Hortons and Krispy Kreme. They have the process down pat! I found a recipe from a book called Doughnuts: Simple and Delicious Recipes to Make at Home . Each…

Dinner

Mashed Yellow Turnips with Crispy Shallots

During the first year Ryan and I were dating, I was invited to his parents house for Easter Dinner. Up to that point, I had never eaten pure turnips before, only the traditional southern turnip greens. So, when I saw…

Buffalo Chicken Bake

One of my favourite pubs in Toronto is The Wheat Sheaf Tavern on King Street West. It’s a dive, but it has a unique history, charm and the most friendly and loyal servers (some of them have worked there for…

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again: my 2 favourite foods are pizza and brownies. There, I said it….and I’m not even ashamed-ish. So, when I found a 224-page(!) book by Bev Shaffer called Brownies to die for…

Cookies

Nutella© Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

I could eat Nutella on toast, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s heavenly. I don’t even feel (that) guilty when I eat it. When I googled a cookie recipe using Nutella as the main ingredient, I hit a goal mine.…

Breakfast

Soft and Savoury Pretzels

When I woke up this morning, I had a really bad wine headache. We were invited over for dinner at Connie and Jamie’s house last night. Connie made an amazing meal and I ended up drinking a bit too much…

Hello Dollies (Nut Free)

This recipe is near and dear to my heart because it comes from one of my closest and dearest friends, Michelle. Michelle and I are kindred spirits. She is the funniest woman I have ever met in my life. Sometimes…

Man Food

Cheeseburger (in paradise) Pie

Since Ryan will be in Law School for the next 3 years, we’re currently running on a “student budget” especially since I haven’t found (the right) job yet. That means we can’t always go to the pub for burgers and…

Cookies

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

My husband and I are at odds with defining the ideal peanut butter cookie . He thinks it should be small, crisp and crunchy. I think it should be soft and chewy. Since I do the baking, I win! This…
