So for a while now Iâ€™ve been getting requests at work for a certain type of brownies I made a month or so â€” Marbled Chocolate Almond Brownies. Almonds are really the star of these brownies: the almond butter in the batter, the hint of almond extract, and the chocolate almond spread that swirls gorgeously throughought it all.

/cue groan at that awful pun.Â But it must be said, that these rich bars do leave you wanting more.Â It all started when I was at my cottage (big surprise there, eh?) and we made s’mores one evening.Â Dutifully,... Continue reading →

So, I'm back from the cottage and what do I do? Cook up another batch of fudge of course! DSC_0440 Yet another fudge recipe, and sadly I can't promise this will be the last. This recipe is different again than the other three, and gets top marks for it's taste, texture, and ease of preparation. I wanted to try this one because it looked very easy to make, didnâ€™t require cream (of which I am out), and I had just enough icing sugar. It also looked easy to â€œmint-ifyâ€ as I wanted chocolate mint fudge, not just chocolate fudge. Continue reading →

Fudge. Even the name sounds decadent. Itâ€™s rich, itâ€™s creamy, and itâ€™s sweet enough to send any kid swinging from the rafters. Itâ€™s also one of my favourite confections of all time. I find it very interesting to see how... Continue reading →

These cookies were delicious. I baked a batch yesterday and brought at least two dozen cookies in with me to work this morning. When I went to see how many were left, only two lonely cookies remained. Even they found... Continue reading →

zomg, how did this happen?!

How has it been over a month since I last posted? I feel rather like a delinquent and a liar. This is not to say that I haven’t been baking –quite the contrary. I’ve been baking more than ever, just... Continue reading →

So I’m finally back home in Canada. I was supposed to be back last Saturday, but I arrived on Monday. There’s a story in that. The long and the short of it is that the airline overbooked my flight twice... Continue reading →

So, these are truly the brownies that have used up all of my spare ingredients. I have no more sugar, no more cocoa powder, no more eggs, and only a little bit of flower left. That being said, I still... Continue reading →
