Rustic Peach Tart

Fuzzy peaches. Alright, I know that Kristie just posted a peach recipe – Kolaches. Which, may I add, were delightful. I ate them non-stop at her house. Summer is long since over in this part of the world…. but  last weekend the farmer&# (read full article)

Peach Kolaches

When it comes to food, inspiration can come from anywhere. More often than not, I am driven by  cravings for something delicious, fantastic food photos or crazy new recipes. For this post, the ingredient itself was the inspiration. I don’t nor (read full article)

Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies

To me, cookies are perfect. They’re relatively easy to make and usually come out delicious every time. Worry-free baking at its best that ends with the sensation of a soft cookie melting in your mouth. So it’s surprising that this the fir (read full article)

S’mores Brownies

Puffy balls of sugar. I’ve got a thing for marshmallows. I like to eat them right out of the bag – unroasted. As a matter of fact, sometimes I dip them into the peanut butter jar as a snack. Marshmallows are also a camping staple. When w (read full article)

Sex in a Pan

Sex in a pan. It’s an easy to make, light and fluffy dessert. However, lets be honest here, name is ridiculous. Using the name in a conversation never comes off well.  Eg. Oh wow, this Sex in a Pan is delicious. Can I have some more Sex in a P (read full article)

Banana Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Banana – Is there a better combination? I didn’t think so. I  had forgotten about some bananas on the counter and by the time I remembered where I’d stashed them, they were starting to turn to the dark (read full article)

Sour Cherry Crumble Pie

I love pie. Pie with ice cream. Pie and whipped cream. Steaming hot pie straight out of the oven. Leftover pie from the refrigerator. I LOVE PIE. So naturally, when my hubby came home from work with a grocery bag filled with sour cherries, all I coul (read full article)

Poppyseed Papparadelle

Special occasions call for special foods. A dish that will reflect who or what is being celebrated. However, finding that ’special’ dish isn’t always easy, especially when there is so much pressure to make something wonderful for th (read full article)

Easy Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake without a reason. Genius. I managed to miss every one of my family member’s birthdays this summer with the exception of my dad. My sister’s birthday was in July along with my grandpa’s. My mom and grandma both have A (read full article)

Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars

Peanut Butter. Those two words always get my attention – immediately. My mind races with questions like: Do you have peanut butter? Are we going to get peanut butter? How long until I have peanut butter in my mouth? And much to my husband’s d (read full article)

Pepper, Rosemary and Cheese Scones

I love scones. I love them fresh out of the oven so they’re hot and crumbly  and with a little smidgen of butter in the middle. Something about them is so rustic, and homey. Scones always bring back fond memories for me involving friends and t (read full article)

Panini with Chocolate and Brie

I will literally jump at any opportunity to use a ‘dessert’ ingredient for a meal. Suddenly, that sugary substance seems almost good for you. Like how we can justify having a huge pile of whipped cream on a breakfast crêpe or waffle. It’s (read full article)

Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie

Bring out the vodka – we are making pie! This pie is FAN-tastic. And I wasn’t kidding about the vodka, you seriously do need it. This recipe calls for two  tablespoons, chilled, but trust me it is essential to the pie crust. You will not be (read full article)

Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk pancakes are perfect for running. Well, for after the run I should say. My Sunday mornings are dedicated to long, slow running, rewarded with big, carb-loaded breakfasts. This past Sunday, I was in the mood for pancakes…yum! Just the (read full article)

Sour Cherry Slab Pie

Sour cherries in a slab pie is the taste of summer. My parent’s neighbours are an elderly couple who use to live in British Columbia, where fruit is in abundance during the summer months. Amazingly, they try to grow all sorts of fruit here in A (read full article)

Penne w/ Spinach, Pine Nuts & Raisins

So I have a confession to make – I am pretty lazy when it comes to making dinner during the week. I know, I should be more excited at the possibilities that come with making deliciousness, but after working all day I just want to have the food in (read full article)

Zucchini-Spice Cupcakes

What’s a perfect use for a zucchini? Cupcakes. We can’t think of anything better to bake out of  the summer’s most famous harvest vegetable. The new Martha Stewart Cupcake book is fresh on bookstore shelves, so naturally we wante (read full article)

Spice-roasted eggplant with herb relish

There is nothing more wonderful than fresh vegetables from Edmonton’s City Market, especially on a hot, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky Saturday. I whipped this up after I got some fresh eggplants and a bag of veggies as well as the last of the summer&# (read full article)
