Perfectly Fudgy Brownies
The last time that I talked about brownies on this blog, I mentioned that some people like their brownies to be fudgy and some prefer them to be more cake-like. This recipe is for the first group. These brownies are rich, dark and so chocolaty that they are just one small step away from actually…

Spiced Almond Blondies
Brownies are amazing, but sometimes you need to take a break from chocolate and have a bit of variety in your treats. (I know, it seems strange, but trust me on this one.) These blondies deliver warm and rich spices, fudgy cake and crisp almonds. Your kitchen will smell amazing. They are a great little…

Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
I used to live near a store that sold bulk dark chocolate covered cranberries. I was in school at the time, and these treats kept me motivated when nothing else could. Read a paragraph, eat a candy… you get the idea. These cookies are inspired by the combination of tart cranberries and rich dark chocolate.…

Apple Butter Rolls
Imagine what would happen if an apple pastry and a cinnamon roll had a baby. You would have the tactile pleasure of pulling part perfectly baked dough spirals combined with the fresh bite of sweet apples and cinnamon. Sticky fingers are guaranteed. These are slightly sweet but not so much that they would be out…

Maple Molasses Florentines
I made these cookies in honour of a friend of mine. She is one of the sweetest people I know, but when it comes to desserts her tastes run dark and bitter. She will never turn down anything made with molasses, treacle, or straight-up burnt sugar. I replaced the honey usually used in traditional Florentines…

Gingerbread Biscotti
From lattes to houses and even people, we are coming into the time of year where everything is made out of gingerbread. I, for one, am here for it. Gingerbread cookies are great, and they are at their best dunked in coffee, tea or even wine. They can be a bit fragile though and sometimes…

London Fog Flan
Earl Grey tea brings this classic flan to a new level. The best part is flan that it can must be made a day in advance. This means that you will be calm and relaxed the day you serve this, and your guests will get to see you for the kitchen rockstar that you are!…

Pumpkin Pie Flan
I’m probably late to the party here, but have you tried flan? I had always passed it by in favour of other desserts with flashy decorations or tempting pastries, but not anymore! Making flan is a bit of a trust exercise. You cannot peak at what is happening below the surface, you just have to…
