Summer’s here and that means it’s time for a trip to the berry patch. As a child, my mom would lug me, my brother and an armful of empty ice cream pails to our local U-Pick strawberry field. It was messy business crawling along the straw-packed rows of ripe berries. It was impossible to [...]

Canada’s First Food Bloggers Conference, Eh?
There I was, in a room full of people I didn’t know, save for my benefactors – the two gals from the Manitoba Canola Growers – with whom I had been traveling. I was sure no one knew me as I sat picking out a few familiar faces from the people seated at other tables. [...]
Gluten-Free Layered Carrot & Cheesecake Cake
This past weekend we celebrated Easter, as did many of you, but I also celebrated a birthday! It isn’t often that my birthday lands on Easter, but since it did, I figured I would make a cake that would be perfect for both a birthday and Easter. A week or so before my birthday, [...]
Gluten-free Bunny Bait ~ An Easy Easter Popcorn Recipe

Gluten-Free Chocolate and Salted Caramel Tarts
Sometimes I get an idea for a recipe in my head, and there is just no way to shake it but get into the kitchen and give it a try. That is exactly what happened with this recipe. I tried to forget it, tried to shove it to the back corner, but it kept [...]
Gluten-Free Mini Hi-Hat Cupcakes
I have had my eye on Hi-Hat Cupcakes for years already. What is a Hi-Hat cupcake, you ask? Well, in this cake, it is a chocolate cupcake, topped with a HIGH swirl of a marshmallow-y frosting, which is then dipped in chocolate. They are so cute! They remind me of chocolate dipped ice cream [...]
Gluten-free White Chocolate and Peppermint Cookies
I haven’t really ventured into anything ‘minty’ before. My husband is not a fan of mint, and so I never bothered baking with it. But now that the kids are getting older, they are showing a fondness of mint, especially during Christmas season. These cookies combine the mint of a peppermint stick with the smooth, [...]
