International Coffee Day took place last weekend, so in honour of such a special day, I had one (or three) cappuccinos. At least that’s what I call my frothy coffees that I make with my stove top espresso maker and my trusty Ikea milk frother. But wait.
Guilt-free no-bake chocolate pudding is all you need to satisfy those chocolate cravings in the sweltering heat of this Toronto summer (or to trick the kids into getting some more fruit and veggies in them).
I love brownies: their gooey, rich, chocolatey selves. Soft like cake, only much, much better.
As for cookies, I’d be more likely to use the term “like” than “love”.
This may be the very best recipe you will ever make. The holy grail of desserts, if you will. Simple. Easy. Incredibly tasty. And only three ingredients.
Baked cinnamon donut babies! In just 20 minutes you can have the warmest, lightest, cakiest, cinnamon crunchiest treats you could ever imagine. Think Tiny Tom donuts from the fair, but without that greasy taste and the never-ending lineup.
And like Tiny Toms, you’ll want to eat Every. Single. One.
For me, this week has been all about Italy. I’m planning a family trip there in May so my days have been filled with “where to go, where to stay, what to do, how much can we fit in?” kinds of questions. Make no mistake, these are good questions to ask.
A fancy grown-up dessert or an even fancier palate cleanser if you dare, these decadent, egg-free, Lime Posset w/ Lychee desserts taste more complex and way more sophisticated than the short list of ingredients implies.
It may not be spring yet but I truly believe that if I bake enough spring-like foods maybe, just maybe, I can coax Mother Nature along a bit.
These past few weeks, my Saturday mornings have consisted of coffee, breakfast, and Martha Bakes on repeat. There is something about her calm voice, her adept skills and the nonchalance she brings to, let’s face it, some pretty complex baking.
