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 

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK MUFFINS

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK MUFFINS

Blueberry muffins are my favourite muffins. I love using fresh blueberries that burst with every bite. I used buttermilk and add orange zest for a sweet aromatic citrus. Make a batch of these and they will become a staple in your household.

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

My favourite cookies are oatmeal cookies. I always make them with dates or raisins. This time I tried a few different things. I swapped out the butter for oat margarine which worked really well, it enhanced the oat flavour. I then added warming spices like 

NUT & SEED CRACKERS

ROSEMARY MAPLE CASHEWS

I love jazzing up regular nuts that I have in my pantry. I’ve made walnuts with Chinese five spice and cashews with harissa. This time, I made cashews with fresh rosemary and finished them with maple syrup. These are great for entertaining or even a 

WHITE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

WHITE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

These pretzels have become a yearly treat. I have made them every Christmas for the past few years. They are a hit with guests and as presents. There’s something about that sweet and salty bite that makes them perfect. Make a lot of them…they are 

PEPPERMINT BARK

PEPPERMINT BARK

I love the Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark that comes out every Christmas, but I don’t love the price. I feel it’s really expensive. So I tried to make my own and it turned out great. I actually prefer mine because I load it with crushed 

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
