Can I interest you in the best cookie I’ve ever made, ever? They’re 100% whole wheat, and buttery, and made with chunks of Toblerone instead of chocolate chips. Ohhhhh yes, they are amazing! My Dad declared them the best cookies he’s ever had, and everyone was surprised to discover they were whole wheat. They came […]
You know what I love? Enchiladas. They have become a staple around my house since I made my Kale & White Bean Enchiladas. I’ve had enchiladas on the weekly rotation ever since, mixing it up a little by adding poblano peppers to the tomatillo & onion mixture when I’ve got them on hand. I thought […]
Oh my goodness fudgy cake of deliciousness. We were invited over for dinner chez friends this weekend for a “Mexican night”, where our fantastic hosts served us a veggie-friendly meal of quesadillas, chili, and buttermilk biscuits. I volunteered to bring the dessert, and when I mentioned “chocolate and cinnamon” I was met with much enthusiasm. […]
Do you know what the world’s best addition to pancakes is? Currants. My favourite part of eating these currant pancakes? When the juicy currants pop in your mouth mid-bite! Divine! Somehow, heating up currants brings out so much of their natural sweetness. They are quite tart in their natural state (which I love), but I […]
Time for another Daring Bakers‘ Challenge! And this time, there’s chocolate! The June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers’ to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard. For […]
Ohmygoodness, has it been a busy week!! My sister’s been in town (YAY!) so there’s been lots of fun spending time with her and the family, as well as preparing for a show I did this evening… all I will say is that there was Britney Spears sung in German, and it was way outside […]
Seriously? Go make this now. Crispy squares of puffed Kamut, dark chocolate, coconut, cocoa nibs, and a little bit of vanilla and cinnamon. How could you not call this perfection? I was inspired by Meghan’s Crispy Rice Squares — ever since I saw this recipe on her blog, I was dying to make them! But […]
I know you need an update on these things… turns out the frozen logs of 100% Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bake up just as well as the fresh dough. Which is the perfect reason to always have fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies on hand. And they’ve got fibre, so they must be good for […]
As soon as I read Heidi’s post about Figgy Buckwheat Scones at my favourite recipe blog, 101 Cookbooks, I knew I had to own Kim Boyce’s new cookbook: Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours. Holy yum, I was inspired by all of the recipes with alternative flours: amaranth, barley, buckwheat, kamut, quinoa, spelt, […]
A quick diversion from Flatbread Mania, for frozen treats! In yet another case of “ice cream” without an ice cream maker, I present to you: Chocolate Almond Soft Serve. You may remember my discovery of the Coconut Banana “Soft Serve” that changed my life, or at least my dessert-related snacking. Well, I thought I needed […]
