For those of you who don't know, occasionally I make a recipe that's specifically for a very special person in my life. I name the recipe after them and someday when I have my own little shop, I plan to feature all my ode to friendship items. I'll be surrounded by the baked versions of… Continue reading “Bethany” Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Perfect Every Time Sugar Cookies
I started a cake decorating class this week. Can I just say (while doing a little dance) "woo-hoo!". I'm incredibly excited. Can't wait to practice new techniques and learn how to make lots of beautiful things. For the first class, I had to bring blank canvases. Which, in a decorating class equals round unfrosted sugar… Continue reading Perfect Every Time Sugar Cookies
Red, White and Blue Berry Trifle
I have no clue why it's called a trifle. The word means something of little importance or value. This dessert isn't anywhere in that neighborhood. It is gorgeous, fresh and delicious. My first experience with trifle was during a recent visit to Victoria during tea at Butchart Gardens. I devoured layers of soaked sponge-cake, fruit… Continue reading Red, White and Blue Berry Trifle
Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
I'm kind of in love with the combo of pretzels and chocolate right now. The salty and sweet together is just divine. There are a few photos of this type of cookie floating around on Pinterest and I've been dying to try one. After reviewing a few, I decided the ratio of cookie to "other… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
I simply adore the bright fresh flavor of lemon. It just makes for happy food. I'm not really sure what the right label for this treat is. It's too sweet to be a bread, too light to be a true pound cake and too bread-like to be a cake. It's fabulous, whatever it is. Filled… Continue reading Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
Godfather’s Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza
Just call me Tonya, destroyer of diets. Slayer of sensible eating. You will rue the day you read this post. I'm sorry in advance. I've managed to resist the temptation to make this dessert for almost a year. However, 364 days is the most I can say "no" to something I really want. Even I… Continue reading Godfather’s Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza

Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Some of my fondest childhood memories involve rhubarb. Actually, they revolve around my grandfather (who I called "Poppa"), his cabin, and the rhubarb that grows by the laughing creek that runs the length of his property. My cousins and I established lifelong friendships in the field at the cabin. I learned to play volleyball and… Continue reading Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Graham-O-Toffee Candy
The "O" is for oats. These treats are to DIE for. Incredibly easy and layered deliciousness. I'm taking them camping this weekend. If they last that long. I love recipes where the finished product seems like more work than it actually took. Shhh. It'll be our little secret how simple these are. Start with a… Continue reading Graham-O-Toffee Candy
Mixed Berries with Mascarpone-Limoncello Cream
As a special treat this week, I got to help my mother prepare for my sister's birthday party. I don't know why it took until I was in my 30's for us to team up throwing soirées, but I'm so glad we finally got our acts together. We both love to cook and bake, and… Continue reading Mixed Berries with Mascarpone-Limoncello Cream
