So, I fell off the face of the earth for a while there. I definitely missed my happy days of baking and posting, the care-free days when everythings fine and dandy and I can totally handle all the cu...
Ive never been the best person to remember things. Lately, my memory has been especially terrible. Either that or someones pulling a practical joke on me, in which case he or she is probably ...
Chocolate Lava Cakes I can barely contain my excitement. Thoughts are rushing through my head, all jumbled together and confusing… things like "oh my goodness - HOW can this BE?!" a...
Sometimes I wonder who coined the phrase, "easy as pie." Ive mulled those three words over in my mind countless times when working with pastry. Pastry, like pie crust for example, i...
Not too long ago, I realized something -- I realized that I have never before posted a recipe countdown. Im talking about a countdown of the top 10 most popular recipes I have ever shared wit...
It was sad to see the holidays pass. I do look back at them with a smile when I remember the highlights -- the family get-togethers, the parties, the fun, the laughs, and the food. Holiday bak...
I have good news and bad news. First, the good news: I finally get off school for Christmas break tomorrow. What a relief -- I could really use a holiday right about now. Now, the bad news… I...
My life has been nothing short of hectic lately. Schools a killer, I tell you. Ive been working on three major end-of-the-semester assignments, each due one after the other. They keep telling...
I have at least five gift cards to Chapters bookstore in my wallet at the moment. Bookstore gift cards are one of my two favorite things to receive as gifts for the holidays, the other being b...
Fall is my #1 favorite season. I love everything about it -- the gorgeous colors, the little trick-or-treaters showing up at my door on Halloween, the distinctive tastes and smells of spices ...
The days have just been whipping by for me lately. I get home from school and a few hours later the sky outside is pitch black. It will definitely take me a while to get used to this. How di...
Thats amore... Pizza. While dessert is often incredibly hard to pass up for most people (deep down, we all know we should), there are still delicious savory foods that succeed in havin...
Pears. We poached them, we stuffed them, we ate them, we loved them. There was a time not long ago when I was unable to say Id eaten poached pears, but now that time has come and passed. I ju...
When I was younger, pears were my favorite fruit. I ate them all the time and especially when I was over my Nonnas, as she would always cut the pears into slices for me. It was my favorite wa...
I love eating food, looking at food, and taking pictures of food. I just purchased a new lens for my camera and Im completely ecstatic. I chose the Canon EF 50mm 1.8/f II. Heres my first impr...
I went up to my cottage last weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving with my Dads side of the family. Thanksgiving Day arrives a bit earlier here in Canada than in the United States, which is fine ...
I tend to surprise myself on a regular basis. For example, I cannot believe that in all this time since I started posting Ive never even alluded to one of my favorite desserts (possibly THE n...
Homework, tests, assignments, responsibility, procrastination… all words commonly associated with school. Ive had a lot on my plate recently and I dont mean food. Every one of us can say weve...
I have been so very sleepy lately. I want nothing more than to crawl into bed, close my eyes, and sleep the day away. Hour after hour of long, undisturbed and peaceful rest, the incessant bee...
I woke up with a strong desire for butterscotch, and when I get a craving for butterscotch I dont let anything stand in my way. Its one of my favorite flavors, as its sweetness is offset by a...
Scones. What are scones? Just a few days ago I hardly knew the answer to that question. For years I had very little motivation to try one, as the mistaken idea of a rock-solid and crumbly sco...
One day I want to be able to say Ive baked everything, so since I had (emphasis on the past-tense) never attempted to make a soufflé... I went and made a soufflé. Rather, I made a bunch of cu...
I must admit that there are few pumpkins in my baking past. None actually. As to why, Im not exactly sure, but it most likely has something to do with my childhood aversion to pumpkin pie. To...
Until just last year I was unfamiliar with the concept of "red velvet". I had seen red cakes before and I had heard the name on rare occasions, but Id always taken them simply to be ...
Ive always enjoyed a challenge, and you know what? I just took on a super, super big challenge. Okay, so maybe this challenge wasnt all that big. Maybe this challenge cant be classifi...
I have yet to meet a person who doesnt like brownies. After all, whats not to love? Theyre rich, theyre decadent, and theres a brownie to suit everyones tastes. The brownie purists can eat th...
Theres a time and a place for everything. No matter how much I love sugar and its sweetness, the two of us go our separate ways come dinner time. When Im hungry, my tummy cries for nourishmen...
I have news of an accomplishment. Delicious news. Zucchini news. I love zucchini (that isnt the news). However, the strange word doesnt always bring pleasant thoughts. Thats because I dont im...
The other day, I spent the night at my cousin Leahs. Shes the greatest for many reasons, one of them being the fact that Leah is the only other baker my age I know. Consequently, shes the onl...
I have a strange relationship with banana bread. I go completely nuts for it, but only sometimes. In order for me to really, really love banana bread, it must meet certain criteria: 1) It ne...
