Why not take a classic and make it seasonal?  Because who doesn’t like the flavor of gingerbread?  And who doesn’t like the odd chewy bit of candied ginger? (Okay, you won’t see the candied ginger in the loaf above because I forgot to stir it in.  I had a truckload …

These are quite spectacularly excellent, as I know you’d expect pretty much anything with bacon in it to be. A friend brought the LCBO’s most fantabulous Food Drink magazine on a recent visit (one of the things I miss most about Ontario, but not as much as Niagara-on-the-Lake and Cherry Blasters. …

How many more ingredients could I cram into the title of this recipe? I’d have added every single one of the following stunning additions to entice you, but thought the current extend-a-name was verging on ridiculous to begin with: Rum Cinnamon Orange Nutmeg Pecans Bananas (obviously) So there you have …

Who doesn’t like graham crackers?  And since we already know that no one doesn’t like chocolate (not true- I met a lovely woman recently who really doesn’t care for it- strange but true), why not combine the two? I know, I know: the s’mores people already thought of the graham …

I have to be honest: I don’t really remember making these muffins, like at all. This picture somehow appeared while downloading photos of desserts I distinctly do remember making (like the Hazelnut Layer Brownies that you’re going to go all apeshit for when I get around to posting the recipe around August-ish). …

I’m a little bit embarrassed to post this recipe, but screw it. Maybe I’m a teeny bit snobby when it comes to desserts (something I don’t work at being, but when you learn the merits of baking things from scratch… it happens?).  I was raised on (glorious) birthday cakes that …

Don’t underestimate the powerful effect that icing can have on an already-spectacular dessert, let alone the smell of your kitchen when making it.  For these Blondies, feel free to get creative and substitute white chocolate chips for the butterscotch ones in the recipe below.  The purist in me keeps Blondies …

If the idea of a fudgy, creamy, almost-inch-thick layer of bittersweet chocolate makes you feel funny inside (in that good way), then try to imagine this lovely layer sandwiched between what is essentially a buttery, crumbly, oatmeal cookie.  The cookie knows enough in this recipe to yield to the beauty …
