Double Apple Muffins
Not too sweet, low in fat, and bursting with flavour, these muffins are easy and quick to make. I like to make these 6 at a time but it's easy to double the recipe for 12 if needed. You could also make these in a mini muffin pan for a perfect double bite-sized...
Easy Breakfast Bar
This breakfast bar checks all the boxes for me - easy to make that is packed with nuts, seeds, fruit, and grains. It has to be delicious and not taste as my husband would say - like chipboard. I love to toast my oats and nuts for a deeper flavour, but you can skip...
Naan Bread
I love fresh bread and Naan bread falls into this category. This recipe is easy to make and is cooked on a skillet - cast iron if you have one. It is great for dipping so pairs really well with curry, soup, or stew but also works well as a pillowy, slightly doughy...
Blueberry Muffins
When blueberries are plentiful and in season make these with fresh blueberries and enjoy that berry popping flavour. You can also make them with frozen berries out of season - just be sure to mix the frozen berries straight out of the freezer and don't over mix your...
Chocolate Biscuit Cake
This is one of the first 'cakes" that I would make on my own in the kitchen - I was about 9, and this recipe was one of my go-to's on a Sunday afternoon baking session. It's so simple to make and doesn't need to go in the oven, just melt your butter and syrup, melt in...
Chocolate Ganache
Chocolate Ganache can be used as a glaze, icing, topping, frosting or filling and is made with just 2 ingredients – chocolate and cream. For the best results, use a high-quality chocolate and a heavy cream such as whipping cream. The measurements are really simple –...
How to Make Short Crust Pastry
Shortcrust pastry is made up of flour, butter and water that binds it all together. The perfect pastry is soft and 'short', or crumbly. To get the best results, make sure all your ingredients are cold before you begin and don't over handle the dough. This will help...
One Bowl Chocolate Walnut Cake
This cake is so quick to make because all the ingredients are measured and then mixed together all at once. This means it uses just one bowl making clean up a snap. The cake is full of flavour and has a light but moist texture. Feel free to switch the walnuts for...
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
This is my go-to chocolate buttercream frosting recipe. It's very easy to make and has a wonderfully smooth texture and an incredible creamy taste. The quantities are easy to increase or decrease - 1/4 cup butter for every cup of icing sugar. When adding the milk, do...
Butter Tarts
The Butter Tart is a uniquely Canadian treat, and nothing beats the gooey sticky centre surrounded by flakey pastry. Our recipe uses chopped walnuts, and lots of them, but you opt to make them plain or you can switch out the walnuts for other delicious options -...
