CHRISTMAS RICE KRISPIE SQUARES

CHRISTMAS RICE KRISPIE SQUARES

Everyone has a recipe for Rice Krispie squares. Some add different toppings or mix candy or nuts into it. I have tried doing this, but the classic recipe is my favourite. It’s three ingredients and I think how people make it their own is by 

GINGER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

GINGER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

My ginger ice cream sandwiches are a great treat for the summer. I buy ginger snap cookies and use my ginger ice cream. This can all be store bought and assembled at home, but if you are up for making your own ice cream, I 

SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

These are a nice sugar free option for anyone who loves meringues. I used monk fruit sugar to make the meringue and it works. Xylitol also works well with this recipe. You do get that cool sugar alcohol taste, but it’s not too bad and 

SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES

ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES

My Limoncello cookies are so good. They are something between a cake and cookies thanks to the yogurt in them. I wanted to try this cookie flavoured with almonds instead of lemon and they were perfect. I changed up a few of the ingredients. I 

DATE & WALNUT OAT BARS

DATE & WALNUT OAT BARS

This recipe happened when I was doing one of my pantry purges. I had no flour (like most people when we were in locked down) but had lots of oats. I first tried these as cookies but they bake better as bars. The secret ingredient 

FIG & WALNUT PALMIERS

FIG & WALNUT PALMIERS

Figs and walnuts are one of my favourite combinations. Whether I make a cake or just pop a fig and walnut in my mouth at the same time, the flavor combination is great. When I started making palmiers, I knew I had to try it
