Chocolate Chunk Hazelnut Cookies
30 May By 1 Comment
Chocolate and hazelnut. My favorite combination. These were inspired by simply just picking up a bag of hazelnuts in the baking section at Superstore and impulse buying. Then I had to think of what to make with them. I also happened to pick up a bag of chocolate chunks too. Rarely is there a shopping trip where those aren't added to my cart. And so. A cookie was born. And it was … [Read more...]
Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
7 May By 2 Comments
I have been craving these for weeks upon weeks now, and thanks to the fact that I live in Alberta, I was blessed with a snow day in May.

Pineapple Slice

This is another one of my grandma's recipes, and one of my favorites. Oh, fine, they are all my favorites. It's a given. This is a light, airy, just sweet enough dessert that now has taken top place in my husbands heart over the old one, cherry cha-cha, another family classic. She used to put 2 raw eggs in the middle layer, not something I recommend for a family-with-young-kids recipe, but I am … [Read more...]
