Lemon Blueberry Muffins with Oatmeal Almond Streusel. These blueberry lemon muffins are delicious as is, but they get another level of flavour & texture with the addition of an oatmeal almond streusel topping.

The Best Classic Canadian Butter Tarts. There’s a reason why we have a national obsession with these sweet, buttery, caramel-y tarts. I’ve sampled them in many places across the country and this thick pastry version is my favourite. Don’t do the raisin debate,  just leave them out if they are not your thing. Everyone should be able to enjoy them as they like them.

Fruit & Nut Bar Cookies. Inspired by Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut candy bar, this recipe combines favourite dried fruits like cranberries or golden raisins with a double chocolate chip cookie.

Christmas Fruit Bread, make it as loaves or make it as a wreath. This sweet bread dough braid, formed into a wreath makes the perfect centrepiece for a Christmas Brunch.
