The idea for these treats came from an article for kids in National Geographic Little Kids.  The marshmallow crispy cereal part is mixed up, then pressed into a cookie cutter, in this case a lovely heart. I used leftover strawberry icing from my daughter’s birthday cake, which I have been keeping in the freezer, […]

I thought of putting these brownies together when I saw Paula Deen making Maggie’s Decadent Brownies on the Food Network. She said it reminded her of her Marsh Mud Cake. There are so many different variations on this recipe that whatever floats your boat you could find something that suits.
I don’t usually do […]

This cake has been a three day effort in honour of my daughter’s 5th birthday. She described to me in quite good detail exactly what she wanted. The title above is what she’s been calling it. I went to my list of recipes and found one I thought would fit the […]

This recipe is from Cookie Madness. I wanted something easy to make, quick to come together, but tasty, to bring to a potluck. I literally was taking them out of the oven and putting them on the plate as we were going out the door. The recipe is easily doubled. […]

I have been recovering this week from a clogged milk duct. (Too much information perhaps, but bear with me, it gets better, I promise.) This cake from Gluten-Free Mommy, seemed just the thing to brighten my mood. Natalie says her sister, Caroline, brought her this cake to cheer her up when she […]

This is good sandwich bread. Whichever recipe Mary Frances played around with for so long, it […]

This recipe is from Baking Bites. Nicole says it was inspired by Trader Joe’s Peppermint Jo-Jos, a peppermint Oreo chocolate sandwich cookie. She says they are one of her favourite recipes of 2007 and no matter how many times she baked them they were always eaten up. With such good reviews I […]

I saw Alton Brown make this cake on the Food Network and thought it sounded tasty. This was my first time using quinoa flour, which I have steered away from using in the past because I thought it would have too strong a taste. I decided to give it a fair chance […]

This recipe is from Home Ec 101. Heather says they are simple to make and they are indeed. They come together easily, much like the GF-Zing doughnut muffins. They have a mild, sweet flavour and the vanilla is nice. What I didn’t expect was the texture. These have an incredibly […]

This is another recipe from Cookie Madness. Anna says it is from a restaurant called Z-Tejas and she found it at Pepperfool through Google. Chocolate and peppers go quite well together. I was looking for a recipe to make for my husband’s birthday and since he loves pies, this seemed perfect. The pie crust recipe […]
