I honestly can't believe how fast this year has flown by! It seems like just yesterday that we were saying "Wow, we're in 2009!" when in a few weeks we'll be saying "Wow, we're in 2010!" As the weeks have gone by, I've been busy catching up with school work and also with my baking. To start off the baking and posting spree, I decided to post these muffins up. This recipe comes from...

This week's SMS was chosen by Jennifer of Maple N' Cornbread : pear cranberry muffins with gingersnap crumble! It certainly sounded like a delicious combination of fall flavors to me so I was looking forward to this one. Then I realized the muffins used the same base recipe as the peach muffins we made a few months ago (which turned out quite dense and heavy) and I lost a bit of my enthusiasm. Still,...

I've made tons of sweet muffins, and I'm starting to get sick of them. So now I'm on to savoury muffins! For me they're a lot more versatile because I can eat them as snacks or as part of a meal. I love that these muffins use ricotta, though I was disappointed to not taste it at all. I guess that makes sense since ricotta doesn't have a strong flavour - though my boyfriend thought they tasted cheesy....

I fancied something plain this week i.e. no buttercream or fillings. Inspired by the entries for the Iron Cupcake London Spice challenge I decided to jazz up a plain yoghurt cake with some cinnamon. You can make this cake plain i.e. leave out everything in the recipe I label as “optional”. However, I think it does need something adding to it flavourwise – it could be any spice of...

It's been a long time since I made some cookies. Today I made some vegan oatmeal raisin cookies . These cookies were so crunchy and tasty. I felt as if I was eating delicious coconut cookies from Bangalore bakeries. Madhuram uses flax seed meal as one of the ingredients. I did'nt use it in the recipe since I don't buy flax seeds. Madhuram's blog Eggless cooking is filled with numerous delicious vegan...

Those cupcakes we made for that Wednesday Treat Day not too long ago started a monster in my stomach that has been evil, annoying and loud enough that I caved and made more cupcakes (which we are greedily keeping to ourselves!). I was able to dig into our overflowing apple supply though, which made me feel a little better about making these Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon-Marshmallow Frosting . It also...

Here is my little Ry-Bear. She turned 5 on October 25th. She loves the carousel, animals and dinosaurs, but sometimes has a thing for pink and princesses, too. When we discussed her b-day cake, her first choice involved pink and princess, but she quickly changed her mind to dinosaurs and green frosting. I asked her multiple times and the dinosaur/green frosting combo was the winner. She wanted to decorate...

Oh the pressure! I'm in charge while Giz is in San Francisco for the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival . I, on the other hand, am stuck in Ottawa in what "feels like" -5 Celcius, at home with a cold (because going to work with a cold might get me excommunicated in times of H1N1 panic) with next to nothing in my cupboards (I shouldn't complain about this last one, since that was the goal). Ok...pity...

Yes, chestnuts are a traditional ingredient...

When serving up chili, I love accompanying it with a nice golden cornbread muffin. But a plain cornbread muffin just won't do. For a bit of pizazz, I wanted to include some flavor with the addition of chopped fresh jalapeno peppers and shredded cheddar cheese. I came across this recipe that got some rave reviews and decided to try it as well. It came out wonderfully. Soft, flavorful and leftovers...

I love scones…to me, they are like a cross between a muffin and a cookie…they are truly a delectable culinary creation. I tasted my first scone over five years ago at Panera Bread. I ordered it on a whim to accompany a cup of hot tea. The scone was orange flavored and was topped with a lovely glaze. Needless to say I was smitten with them for about a minute...my short lived love affair...

I am going through the month of November, or rather, the first 26 days with a letter of the alphabet for each day, and naming something to be thankful for for that start's with that day's letter. A-D are here. Nov. 5th- E- Eggs. I am so thankful for eggs. I love them in omelettes, in egg and cheese sandwiches, in breakfast burritos, in custards, boiled, poached, and gently fried sunny side up. I like...

This loaf is good. This loaf is so good, my gluten-eating family devours it, even though it is gluten free. The tartness of the fresh cranberries, the crunch of the pecans, and the fantastic orange flavour that comes through, should definitely send you to the supermarket to get the ingredients. You will not be disappointed! I haven't tried making these into muffins yet, but I think they'd work well...
