Brunch is unquestionably my favourite meal. Always eaten in the company of your favourite people, this is my excuse to go crazy with delicious breakfast and lunch foods. I only wish I had an excuse to make scrambled eggs with smoked salmon every morning! And when it comes to brunch, cinnamon buns top the list. [...]

Just this fall, I have made endless desserts with apples – and I have been challenging myself to make a different one each time. The most difficult thing about that is the fact that most of the time I only have a short period of time in which to make these, so inevitably, that reduces [...]

Although this particular recipe is my own invention, it is based on an idea my mother came up with. And the best part is that it’s more delicious, easier, and more novel than the usual crumble (well, perhaps not after this post – but I’m ok with that). With this dessert, not only do you [...]
Apple Oatmeal Spice Muffins

The last of the apples I picked in September are starting to become snowy, so I decided to transform the apples into something baked. I’ve been inkling for muffins, and since oatmeal muffins are near my favourites (must be the Scot coming out in me), I decided to search the Internet for some not-to-sweet apple [...]

Looking through the last dozen posts we’ve made, I see we’re really doing well in sharing seasonal recipes! This is yet another one in that category – I can’t help but keep eating pumpkin and squash, because it is delicious and versatile; and, especially, because starting in one month I will not be eating many [...]

The last time I made apple sauce was when I was about 10. I was at my cottage for Thanksgiving. My grandmother, having put the turkey in the oven, decided she needed some foliage to liven the table, so we went for a walk with a few of my cousins. We happened across an apple [...]

In peak harvest season I’m always inspired to make granola, although I’m not sure why. In a blur, the kitchen becomes transformed as I bring in bags and bags in of nuts, fruits and seeds and then begin mixing in my largest bowl, which is never large enough. Then, after the first batch, I make [...]

My grandmother’s carrot cake is to die for. Moist and beautifully textured with nuts and coconut, it is unsurprising that our family often requests this cake for birthdays. I only discovered a few weeks ago that her secret is to follow Silverpalate‘s carrot cake recipe. Written by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins, their recipes are classic, [...]
