Wednesday Night Brownies
Have you ever had one of those days where you think it is almost the weekend, only for someone to tell you that we are only halfway there? (Rude!) Then you get home, rummage around for some kind of treat, and realize your fridge has nothing in it but… vegetables. Never fear, there is a…

Lemon Rosemary Cake
It’s a funny time of year. You might leave in the morning in flip flops, only to come home later in a snowstorm. I can’t help you with what to wear on days like this, but I can tell you that this cake has you covered no matter what you are facing. It is warm…

Upside Down Peach Cake with Cardamom
Where I am, this is a hard time of year. The novelty of winter has started to wear off but it is still bitterly cold, and we are ready for some really good fruits and vegetables but the only thing that is technically in season is jam. The solution to this problem can be found…

Make-Ahead Double Chocolate Cookies with Sourdough Discard
Never let anyone tell you that procrastination is a bad thing. If it weren’t for my tendency to put things off, I never would have discovered these incredible cookies.

We will talk about that again soon, but for the moment, I crave ginger, cinnamon, and anything else that would have drawn Hansel and Gretel to the fateful gingerbread house in the woods.

Spice Cookies to Calm a Haunted Kitchen
Do strange things happen in your kitchen? Mysterious drafts, unexplained noises, objects going missing (especially chocolate chips)? I hate to break this news to you, but your kitchen might be just a teeny bit haunted. Don’t be embarrassed, it happens to the best of us, especially in late October. The good news is that there…

Apple Crumble Pie with Pecan Topping (Dutch Apple Pie?)
I’ve always heard this kind of pie referred to as Dutch apple pie, although I have no idea whether this is accurate or not. I will say that wherever this apple pie comes from, the people who developed it are a patient bunch. I usually try to avoid 2 day recipes, but I’m sorry to…

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal with Lentils
I am a big fan of dessert for breakfast, but sometimes I want to feel like I’m making a grown-up breakfast decision. This recipe blurs the line between oatmeal and carrot cake. It is warm, spicy, and just the right amount of sweet. It also has enough protein and fibre to get you through a…
