With all the fruits that are in season now, it is a good idea to take advantage of it. I have never really eaten mangoes before. I tried them for the first time last year, and this year, have had quite a few. Once you figure out how to peel & dice them, they really [...]

Sweetened Condensed Milk
I don’t know if you are like me or not, but when I look through a recipe, I very often find that I am missing one or two of the ingredients that I need to make it. I found that the last time I was wanting to try a new granola bar recipe. It called [...]
Russian Salad
This recipe was submitted by my Mom. It is a fantastic twist to a regular jello salad. The flavours are really great, and the sour cream doesn’t make it sour, but rather, makes it very creamy. Delicious!
Jello Popcorn
What a crazy few weeks we’ve had at our house! Between Christmas & now we’ve had everyone home from school/work, everyone getting back into routine, nieces & nephew here for sleepovers, beyond cold temps (was -37 degrees C this morning), colds & sore throats, and a very quick trip to IL and back (about 800 [...]
Rice Chex Muddy Buddies
I hope that you’re all doing well in the new year. We had a really good Christmas holiday, straight through to the new year. We had a lot of time with our families, had our nieces & nephew all down for sleepovers (that’s 3 extra kids for 2 nights). We’ve gone sledding, skating (or [...]
Grandma’s Peanut Brittle
Now, when your Grandma tells you how to make something, you should listen & follow her instructions. After all, she knows! Right?? Well, I goofed on this one a wee bit, I added the peanuts to the syrup mixture, which was a bad idea, because it caused the syrup to cool & thicken nearly [...]
Easy, Decadent Truffles…Did I mention they are EASY??
These truffles are SOOO good! I made them last year, but don’t remember them being as good as they are this year. Maybe that’s because this year, instead of vanilla, I used maple flavouring. Wow! Delicious! These truffles are easy to make, and are melt-in-your-mouth good! Let me know what flavour combinations you come up [...]
Caramel Popcorn
Every year I make popcorn for the holidays. When I was a kid we’d make about 10 ice cream pails of popcorn for Christmas. I have no idea why we thought we needed that much popcorn. Now I make a few batches of caramel popcorn, and we’re good until the new year. This recipe makes [...]
The Daring Bakers get a Sugar Rush (Vanilla Bean Caramels)
I’m late! I’m late! For a Very Important Date! That’s right, I’m late at posting my Daring Baker Challenge for November. We had such a busy birthday weekend, I didn’t get around to posting it on Saturday like I should have. I apologize, and without further ado, I will share the recipe with you that [...]
