Cookies
Pistachio, Cranberry and Cardamom Shortbread
There’s something beautiful about pistachios. They have the most gorgeous purple on the outside and the perfect shade of green on the inside and they taste fantastic in just about anything; ice cream, cookies, cake, macarons. You name it, I’ve probably put pistachios in them. The most common thing I put pistachios in would be cookies…
Banana Bread Cookies with Walnuts and Chocolate Chips
Lately it seems like we haven’t been eating our bananas fast enough. One day they look just fine and yellow, then the next day, they’re black. What gives? So I’ve been trying to get creative with ways to use them up. I was flipping through some recipes I have saved and came across this gem…
A Regional Canadian Food in Saskatchewan – Flaxseed
In Saskatchewan, agriculture is huge. In late summer, you can’t drive down a highway without seeing canola, wheat, sunflower or flax in the fields. One of the grains I use a lot at home to add fiber to my diet is flax. Canada is the world’s largest producer and exporter of flax with Saskatchewan producing…
Butterscotch and Vanilla Creme Cookies

I can’t get enough of these cookies. Shortbread cookies fusing together Butterscotch ganache and vanilla buttercream are hard to pass up. Believe me, I’ve tried. The…

Almond Butter Cookies
I was really in the mood to bake, but I didn’t have the urge to make some fancy-pants, seven-step dessert. I just wanted something basic and simple, but different than the regular shortbread or chocolate chip cookies I would usually make when I have an urge like this. I consulted one of my millions of…
Espresso Shortbread
I feel as though I haven’t blogged in weeks!! Life has just taken over and it seems like I have not had any free time. I’m embarrassed to say, that I haven’t even really cooked or baked anything either. The horror!! Back when my bestie Jill and I made Bagel Bombs, we also made cookies. Not just any cookies…
Better Nutter Butters
I love a good deal, especially Boxing Day sales, because I have a bit of Christmas money to blow. This past Boxing Day, I stocked up on like….4 new cookbooks, including the impressive Bouchon Bakery book. Man, this thing is huge…and heavy. It seriously weights almost 6 pounds (yes, I weighed it) and my arm almost…
Eggnog Shortbread
Eggnog. You either love it or you hate it. I personally love the taste of eggnog and have been known to down a glass or two of the stuff over the holidays – with rum of course. I’ve been patiently waiting for it to appear in the grocery store because I’ve had this cookie concept…
