Last year, we had our 1st Annual Pride Bake Sale at work, and I made these epic Cheesecake Stuffed Funfetti Cookies which were a HUGE hit. This year’s bake sale was a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn’t sure how to top last year, but decided to attempt to reverse engineer the Dunkaroos Cookie……

Happy New Year! I promise I did leave my home in January, but not that much! I mostly cooked at home, and made a lot out of the new Ambitious Kitchen Cookbook (which I got for Christmas). I did venture out for one special brunch and a delicious dinner that have to be documented here:……

Back in my blogging heyday, I always tended to start off the year with a savoury recipe because I thought my “audience” (lol) was likely sick of treats and baking. I obviously don’t care about that now, as this is basically my personal online recipe journal, BUT I still laughed to myself as I seem……

December was filled with holiday fun, and then ended with two weeks off to just totally relax and decompress after the craziness. I didn’t cook that much at home, with the exception of all the sides for Christmas, which I always love to document here. More on that below: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed……

This month we had our 3rd Annual Cookie Exchange at work. While I know it’s not a competition, I feel like I always want to make something impressive and (obviously) delicious. I also want my cookie to be something a bit different or original, as there are a ton of chocolate chip cookies and gingerbread……

I’ve been making these Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies for over ten years, and it’s finally time I save them here (so I don’t have to visit the blog they came from, which is problematic to me now). I make these whenever I have freckly bananas on the counter; they’re super quick to mix up, very…… October is my favourite month of the year, and this year it was especially fun because I went to Miami on vacation and for my birthday! More on that and everything else from the month below: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed with last month: Flashback!…

Last week I went to Miami on vacation/for my birthday (more on that soon!), and when I got back, it all of a sudden felt like Fall. The weather is always so warm now into September and even October, that all I long for is a crisp Fall day to go for a hike and……

My friend Jess (who’s from London, England) went to BC for the first time this summer and fell in love. It’s so her scene; lots of biking, hiking, and nature plus good food, exploring and shopping. She even went to Nanaimo, BC where she had her first Nanaimo Bar and became obsessed. I immediately knew……
