I love cookies – especially chocolate chip cookies. If you couldn’t tell 😉 I also like brownies! After seeing this amazing photo from Displaced Housewife on Instagram, I immediately became inspired to make them – albeit with a few changes that fit the lifestyle of student accommodations. I have slowly begun to get into baking again. This is quite good but also quite bad. It’s good because I…
Instead of searching for my recipes or scrolling through the entire blog (which to be fair is fun since there is so much to explore), you can browse my recipe index. Here you will find a list of everything I have baked (and subsequently ate). Don’t see a recipe on here you were looking for? Send me an email or DM me on Instagram, with some of…
It is -28 degrees Celsius and what better way to celebrate than by making some cafe au lait coffee ice cream? I know, it sounds ludicrous. But as Canadians, we are known to be quite brave in the face of freezing temperatures. Plus, making ice cream during the winter is actually super easy and convenient. You can easily make your ice cream from start to finish…
I absolutely love ice cream. This is not a new fact. I talk about it any chance I can get. And I try to make ice cream any chance I get. This time around I had a request to make Black Walnut Ice Cream. This recipe is inspired by the same flavour at Marble Slab! I absolutely loved the flavour but sadly they do not make it anymore. …
I have made sticky toffee pudding for years. Ever since I had my first bite at a restaurant when I was young, this dessert has become one of my all-time favourites. The name is quite misleading though because sticky toffee pudding isn’t actually a pudding. Though the English may disagree! 😉 It is more like a muffin, or slice of cake! My sticky toffee pudding recipe is…
The first time I had tiramisu was because of my mother. If you haven’t already noticed, my love for cooking stems from my mom. All the delightful sweet treats and culinary dishes have been introduced to me because of my mom. Oddly enough, my mom doesn’t make a lot of desserts or baked treats in our house. In fact when we were younger the only…
The next leg of my journey continues in Naxos. Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades island group. Its fertile landscape and mountainous villages are hosts to long stretches of beach and ancient ruins. In fact, Naxos has many important archaeological sites and there is even an archaeological museum that displays its vast history. We arrived in Naxos in the early afternoon by ferry, flowing…
This year has been an amazing year for my apple tree. In the past, my poor apple tree hardly yielded a harvest. I would perhaps have 5 or 6 solid tasting apples. The rest were far too tart and soft. However, this year has been fantastic. My apple tree sprung back with such vibrancy that I had to give apples away. There was only so…
After I mastered making chocolate chip cookies, I decided to test my baking expertise by making biscottis. The word biscotti stems from the Latin word “twice baked.” That is because these tasty treats are baked twice in the oven. Story has it that way back in the olden days of Italy, flour was scarce and food had to be preserved properly. Thus biscottis are the ideal item because they…
The first time I made macarons, they turned out to be large, thin, chewy, & messy disasters. They tasted amazing (my trusted taste tester assured me), but they looked terrible. I accepted defeat and wallowed in utter sadness with the realization that I would never be able to make macarons. Then for a Christmas/Valentine’s Day present, my trusted taste tester bought me a “Macaron 101…
