Strawberry Almond Bars

The original recipe for these was actually titled strawberry marzipan bars. And it was the word marzipan which initially caught my attention. I was hoping that there would be a large amount of almond paste involved in the making of these.

Hummingbird Cake

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a wonderful day and ate some incredible foods! Because this week/month has been so busy, I was not able to complete my recipe for the Daring Kitchen. This month's challenge was cannoli. It was hosted by Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts, and Line Drives. If you need any incentive to try making your own cannoli all you need to do is look at her pictures.

Oatmeal Coconut Butterscotch Cookies

It feels as though my kitchen is cookie central at the moment. My oven is pushing out batch after batch of bars and drop cookies and cut-outs. The smell is comforting but it's almost too much of a good thing.

Ginger-Jazzed Brownies

Life without a computer has been tough these last few weeks. I was always worried about my poor, neglected blog, wondering how many embarrassing spelling errors and run-on sentences I may have overlooked in previous posts (I always seem to find them no matter how many times I edit).

All-In-One Holiday Bundt Cake (TWD)

I know, it isn't Tuesday and this is not a bundt cake. So what's going on? Well, quite a lot. I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks...two very long weeks.

Cran-Apple Crisps (TWD)

This recipe was so easy to put together that it almost left me feeling unfulfilled. There was no dough rolling involved, nothing had to chill for an hour, and I didn't have to scoop out batch after batch and stand by the oven all day waiting for the timer to sound off.

Sugar Cookie Bars

Spring will not be here for a long, long time but now that most of the leaves have fallen to the ground and the trees are bare, I miss bright colours.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Did anyone know that the smaller you are the faster you gain weight? I am learning this the hard way. It has been so busy lately that I have cut back drastically on my workout routine and I have not been eating very well either. Usually I am a stickler for balancing portion control with time spent running/cardio.

Sugar-Topped Molasses Spice Cookies (TWD)

Welcome to November! These next 2 months are a food lovers favourite time of year.
