The month of May is a busy one for me and my family. Not only do we start planting some of our crops on our farm in May (some are planted earlier), but we also celebrate Mother’s Day, Blaine’s birthday, my birthday, our nephew’s birthday, and Blaine’s Dad’s birthday. My birthday and Blaine’s are four … More Read this to learn how to make homemade Dairy Queen ice cream cake
This past Thursday, Blaine and I celebrated his 29th birthday. He isn’t exactly the type to willingly engage in celebratory birthday activities, so our festivities were pretty low-key, just as he prefers. Blaine has a sweet tooth but can be picky with his desserts. He is an avid fan of his grandmother’s chocolate pie, and … More Read this to learn how to make homemade chocolate pie
When I sat down to write today’s post, I hit the wall hard when it came time to come up with a topic to discuss. I eventually decided on a recipe of some sort, but because I couldn’t think of one in particular to share, I thought I would ask Blaine to see if he … More Here’s how to make the absolute best peanut butter cookies
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
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
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom and I recently made a trip to Costco. I picked up some new goodies as well as some I’ve been getting from Costco for a while, one such item being the cookies that they bake in-store. Costco actually has a rather impressive selection of baked goods. If I’m … More Costco cookies: yes or no?
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. Blaine’s mom hasn’t yet given me the recipe, but one day, I would like to take … More Here’s how to make chocolate pie
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
Brownies are one of those things that appeal to just about everyone. I have yet to meet someone who dislikes brownies, and, honestly, I think if I ever do, I’ll be a little concerned for their sanity. You simply cannot go wrong with brownies. They’re lightly crunchy and toasted on the exterior, yet warm and … More Here’s how to make some of the best brownies you’ve ever tasted
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
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. It’s a true dessert classic with it’s soft, warm exterior and gooey chocolate interior, and I have yet to … More Here’s how to make classic chocolate lava cake
Chocolate chip muffins, if you’re unaware, are pretty damn great. If you disagree and are not, in fact, a fan of this bakery classic, I’m sorry to inform you that there could be something seriously wrong with you. That’s just my take. Anyways, back to the muffins. Chocolate chip muffins are like the almighty muffin … More Read this to learn how to make the best chocolate chip muffins
Hot chocolate is a beverage most of us can appreciate. It’s delicious, sweet, hearty and warming, and it serves its purpose on a chilly Winters day. I find it somewhat bothersome that majority of us purchase hot chocolate in its powdered form considering it really isn’t all that difficult to make it from scratch. If … More Here’s how to make your own hot chocolate from scratch
I will be honest and admit that one of my favourite things about Christmastime are the sweets that accompany the holiday. I have a serious sweet tooth and always have, so it’s no surprise that I take advantage of these goodies before they’re gone. One of my favourite holiday treats is white chocolate peppermint bark. … More Here’s how to make your own white chocolate peppermint bark
