Baking

Now that I have a wee one, and there are plenty of holiday play dates, potlucks, and other get togethers, seems like it’s as good a time as any to make cookies almost too pretty to eat.

It's totally possible with a few substitutions. Case in point, check out this tasty orange-apricot-fig-date square recipe you'll love

Bake and build this classic holiday favourite

After my success with the Sharp cheddar zucchini loaf a few weeks back I thought I’d try my luck at the Classic lemon loaf recipe. I read the list of ingredients and almost gasped—I had every item on hand. Wow, just like a real person who bakes regularly! You know the type, they have a spare hour or two (!) so they decide to whip up a banana loaf, a tray of muffins and some cookies.

This sugary-glazed quick bread is a handy standby. Eat it for breakfast, pack it for a snack or enjoy it as an after-dinner treat
