I firmly believe there are far too many people in this world who are entirely unaware of the tremendous potential and capabilities of baking soda. I imagine the majority of us use baking soda primarily for baking, with using it for cleaning purposes coming in hot as the secondary use for it. Buckle up, folks, … More Let’s hear it for baking soda
Yesterday’s post provided all of you with some information pertaining to how to go about composing some homemade dog treats, so it really is only fair that today’s post provides you with that same information, only this time, in the context of cats. I’m not someone who believes that people are either cat or dog … More Here’s how to make homemade cat treats
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say my cooking can compete with the likes of Ina Garten, I will say that I’m not as terrible in the kitchen as I may have made myself to believe. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with cooking and baking, and my parents were kind … More Try your hand at some homemade pizza
I try my best to limit myself and my tastebuds when I go grocery shopping. I really do. I make a list beforehand, try my best to avoid going on an empty stomach, and try to find the best deals and prices possible to save some coin. I still, however, buy myself some treats from … More Here’s how to make some cinnamon coffee muffins
I promised Blaine I would make him some homemade banana bread shortly after he and I moved into our home. I haven’t forgotten about or abandoned my promise, but I should probably make note of the fact that almost five months have elapsed since making this promise to Blaine. I figure if I write a … More Here’s how to make the most delicious homemade banana bread
When it comes to cookies, it is safe to say I have my favourites. Cookies as a general concept are one of my preferred desserts, but if I had to pick my go-to flavours, they would be chocolate chip, oatmeal, and sugar cookies. These guys are the cream of the crop, if you ask me, … More Here’s how to make some delicious sugar cookies
I’ve had my eyes on an air fryer ever since Blaine and I moved into our home about four months ago. I figured I could ask for one for Christmas, or wait until one comes on sale, and to be honest, I forgot about getting one for a little while. That is, until I saw … More Yes, you really do need an air fryer
It’s fall, so you can bet your candle apple ass that apple pie is next up on the food roster. Apple pie is splendid any time of year, however, it does hit different once fall arrives. There’s nothing like curling up with a hot slice of apple pie in a cozy blanket, staring out the … More Here’s how to make some wicked apple pie this Autumn
Please don’t kill me, but I have to be honest and admit that I am not in any way, shape or form a big fan of pumpkin. You can prepare it however you would like, but I’m probably not going to enjoy it, regardless of the version of pumpkin you serve me. I love pumpkins … More Here’s how to make the perfect pumpkin pie
Blaine has a profound love for chocolate pie. He always has, and arguably always will, although I should make mention of the fact that the version of chocolate pie Blaine would arguably kill for is his late grandmother’s recipe.

I will throw hands right here and now with anyone who can tell me with sincere honesty that eating raw cookie dough isn’t absolutely the best part of making homemade cookies.

For Christmas last year, my mom generously gifted me and Blaine an executive Costco membership to use once we are living in our home. Considering I eat as much as a rhinoceros, buying in bulk makes sense, so I was very happy to be gifted this. Blaine and I are (hopefully) going to be moving … More Run, don’t walk to get this dessert from Costco
I firmly believe that brownies are just one of those things that provide an instant mood boost. Brownies are the shit; they’re slightly crunchy on the outside and on the edges, yet soft and gooey on the inside, enveloping your mouth in a chocolatey euphoria. At least, that’s how I enjoy my brownies. In case … More Read this to learn how to make the best homemade brownies
Tiramisu, if you have not yet had the privilege of tasting it, is life-changing. That may sound dramatic, but I assure you it isn’t. Naturally an Italian dessert (hence why it’s so damn tasty), it consists of delectable layers of ladyfinger cookies which are soaked in coffee, along with a divine mixture of mascarpone cheese, … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tiramisu
Bread is just one of those things that, I believe, the majority of us can agree is as addictive as crack cocaine. I can’t say I’ve ever dabbled in crack cocaine, and I certainly don’t plan to, but from what I’ve heard about it, it’s rather addicting, hence why I’m comparing it to bread. I … More Here’s how to make the best homemade bread
This past Monday was Blue Monday. In case you’re unfamiliar with what exactly Blue Monday is, it is referred to as, essentially, the most depressing day of the year. I didn’t notice myself feeling more depressed than I normally would on this year’s Blue Monday date, but I thought I would dedicate a post to … More Need a pick-me-up? Read this
Blaine and I ventured out to SWEET bakery in Brantford this past weekend regarding our wedding cake. I’ve been to this bakery before, but it was quite a few years ago. When I was chatting with my sister and maid of honour about potential local bakeries to check out for our wedding, she recommended SWEET … More Craving something sweet? Hit up SWEET Bakery in Brantford
I have yet to come across someone who isn’t a fan of Ferrero Rocher’s. Quite honestly, I think if I ever were to come across someone who dislikes them I would smack them upside the head for the simple reason I cannot fathom any reason as to why one would not enjoy these heavenly little … More Here’s how to make your own Ferrero Rocher’s at home
If I ever encountered a situation in which I was forced to name my favourite desserts, cookies would, without a doubt, be mentioned. They’re pretty fucking great, and I like to think of them as something more than a small dessert square but something less than a piece of cake. They’re the perfect buffer in … More Here’s how to make some homemade white chocolate macadamia nut cookies
It is possible I am being presumptuous, but in accordance with my own observations and experiences, I think it is safe to say a lot of us tend to do more baking in the colder months of the calendar year.

Brownies are one of those things that appeal to just about everyone.

I love dessert. Arguably more than I should, but I have a massive sweet tooth, and one must simply fulfill the demand of what the palate wants. That’s a little dramatic, I’ll admit, but you get my point. I’m not fussy when it comes to dessert, and, really, I think the only dessert I’m not … More Here’s how to make the best fruit crisp this summer
When it comes to waffles, I am inclined to say the Belgians do it best. You simply cannot compare a frozen Eggo waffle to a rich, fluffy, decadent Belgian one, and I believe the hype pertaining to Belgian waffles is, without a doubt, warranted. I also conveniently happen to have Belgian ancestry, so I can … More Here’s how to make homemade Belgian waffles
Mug cakes, for anyone unfamiliar with them, are essentially exactly what the name suggests; a cake in a mug. They’re delicious, simple to make, and often require ingredients you likely already have in your cupboards. I first heard about these divine little creations a few years ago. It took me a while to get around … More Here’s how to make a mug cake
Rosemary is not, by any means, my preferred herb. I don’t know what it is about this stuff, but I am not a fan of the taste or smell. I wish I liked it, because a lot of us swear by the combination of roasted potatoes and rosemary, but I would rather eat a plain-ass … More Check out these unique uses for rosemary
Cinnamon buns are one of those things people either adore or despise. There really doesn’t seem to be any middle ground, not to mention the controversial divide between frosted and glazed cinnamon buns. Personally, frosted is the way to go, but that’s just my two cents. In the cinnamon bun realm, one in particular reigns … More Here’s how to make Cinnabon cinnamon buns at home
Chocolate lava cake may not necessarily be the first dessert that comes to mind in the summertime, but trust me when I say this dessert is one that can be served year-round, regardless of the temperature.

A few years ago, I went through a phase in which I was absolutely obsessed with Starbucks cake pops, specifically their vanilla one with pink icing. I’ve certainly toned down my consumption of these puppies, as they arguably are not the healthiest snack to munch on, but my sister recently got one for me for … More Here’s how to make your own Starbucks cake pops at home
Chocolate chip muffins, if you’re unaware, are pretty damn great.
