Bread is intimidating. You have to keep an eye on temperatures, the rising of the dough, shaping the rolls, boiling and baking. That’s why when I baked these, I was surprised by how process went seamlessly, the buns came out looking picture perfect, and they tasted even better. The tutorial I’ve included in the recipe…

Mini Mixed Berry Pies in Muffin Tins
Earlier this week as a graduation present, my aunt and uncle got my a KitchenAid Stand Mixer (in an awesome retro blue colour) and I’ve been trying to make as many recipes as possible with it. I’ve never mastered a good pie crust until now, but I went with a really basic base on a…
Gluten-Free Maple Whisky Butter Tarts
Serve these up on a warm, sunny afternoon with some cider and you’re good to go (and by go I mean take a nap). One of my mom’s favourite baked goods are butter tarts, but since she’s been gluten-free for about 10 years they are a rare treat. I know that gluten-free baking can be…
Sweet Potato Walnut Breakfast Cookies
Let your childhood dreams blend with your responsible side with these healthy cookies that you can eat for breakfast. These are truly the definition of healthy cookies. Mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, walnuts—these add up to provide tons of nutrients and protein. Need more convincing? They’re paleo and flourless, are super easy to…
Garlic Parmeson Wonton Crackers
Store-bought crackers are way too salty a lot of the time, and I find they end up over-powering the dips I eat them with. The few times I have tried making homemade crackers right from scratch, they’ve always needed tweeking and the texture wasn’t perfect. Wonton crackers are the perfect balance between the two. You…
St. Patrick’s Day Cake Batter Cookies
Cookies on St. Patty’s Day are a must for a few reasons. If you have kids, cookies are a great activity for a holiday to get them interested and let them show their creativity. If you don’t, you’re going to need something to soak up all the beer. Trust me. What better than green cake…
Loaded M&M Oreo Cookie Bars
You know those days where you just need to take a moment to say, “I don’t care about beach bodies, I just want some cookies.” I’ve got your back. These bars are a combination of all great dessert ingredients: Chopped up Oreos inside homemade cookies dough sprinkled with M&Ms. These are really good for parties…
Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
I don’t know how I managed to get this far without having an 8×8 pan, but I finally bought one. I was always adjusting baking times to bread pans or long casserole dishes—the results were…edible? But not as good as this. The most useful $7 spent in a long time, not doubt. Brownies are easy…
White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies
Searching for your next soft and chewy cookie to make? This it it. Part way through the recipe, I switched from eletric beaters to a rubber spatula as not to overmix the flour. It gave me great results and I strongly recommend you all do the same, whether it’s with a rubber spatula, wooden spoon,…
Double Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies
After making these, hand pies are one of my new favourite desserts. They’re surprisingly easy, delicious, and customizable. These hand-held treats are perfect for birthdays, holidays or craving-driven baking sprees. I recently got thinking about the fact that I haven’t ever properly made my own pie crust. I’m not a huge dessert person and I…
