INGREDIENTS Dough… ¾ cup Milk 3 tablespoons Butter, melted ¼ cup Sugar 2¼ teaspoons Yeast (1 pkg) ¼ cup Water 1 Egg 1 teaspoon Salt 3½ cups All Purpose Flour Chocolate Cinnamon Roll Filling… ¼ cup Butter or Margarine, softened ⅓ cup Sugar 1-2 tablespoon […]

Some things: 1. Sometimes, after a long and particularly hellish day at work, school or what-have-you, I want nothing more than to get home ASAP and blast the nastiest, heaviest rap I have in my car and allow the bass vibrations to give me a […]

So I’ve officially decided that my Mexican “craving” is not a craving. It’s a constant need. A craving… you can get rid of, right? It’s like, a temporary thing? Well my Mexican needs are not that. Because I’ll eat Mexican, only to want more of it the […]

It’s kind of hard for me to talk about Butterfingers without wanting to shove like 7 of them in my mouth. It’s even harder for me to talk about this Butterfinger Bomb Cake without wanting to stick my FACE in it so I’m literally eating […]

So these SNICKERS® cookies are a great way to handle hunger. They’re packed with peanut butter, chocolate, and smothered with little bites of SNICKERS® chocolate bars. (I loaded mine up with several of their varieties- Almond, Peanut Butter Squares, and traditional!) Ingredients 1 cup sugar […]

These Dude Food Magic Bars aren’t for the faint of girly heart. They don’t contain sprinkles, they aren’t low-cal, and don’t even ask if butter’s a carb because butter, carbs and butter carbs are all contained within these sinful bars. I realize that I’m generalizing […]

It is almost impossible to cook with no carbs, no oil and no sugar in Asian recipes. That we discovered when my girlfriend Mel decided to put herself onto a diet that is absent of these 3 ingredients, for a whole 6 weeks under the […]

It was like a dream: St Petersburg’s Eliseyev Emporium is overflowing with delicious sweets, from candy to macarons, to savoury treats, but it was these sugar-spun apples, delicate like glass figurines that I could not pass up. We’ve only just returned from our Baltics trip […]

After months of mostly apples, oranges and bananas, our local grocery store had passion fruit on sale last week. It just seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, and so I decided to bring a few rays of sunshine and flavours of warmer months […]

With the frightful weather, everything snug and cosy had been higher on my priority list than smart dresses and fancy dates, but this week, I felt I needed a pinch of bravado again – at least in my kitchen. So out we ventured, leaving behind […]

Wow, it’s been a while – work has been keeping me busy. In the meantime, spring has come, and with it heaps of fresh berries ready to be devoured. Just like Pavlovas, choux pastry only feels complete when generously topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. […]

I’d love to know what is better than FRESH, warm, dinner rolls. Really-what’s better.  I like them more than actual DINNER. I could LIVE off of bread and butta, it’s the best. So whipping up an entire homemade batch of rolls in an hour is […]

Aren’t copycat recipes the best? Aren’t biscuits the best? These biscuits in particular are the easiest little creations to whip up. You basically dump the dry ingredients into one bowl, the wet ones into the other, combine them, plop them on a pan and bake for 12 minutes. POOF! Biscuits! […]
