Breakfast and Brunch

Cherry Bread. A sweet bread recipe that is terrific for brunch, as a base for a luscious bread pudding, or to enjoy as the best morning toast ever. Makes a wonderful addition to Christmas morning breakfast every year too.

Easy Homemade Chorizo Sausage. Some freshly ground pork and some common ingredients and readily available spices is all you’ll need to make this incredibly flavourful homemade spicy chorizo sausage.

The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins. After over 30 years of baking this is still my favourite chocolate chip muffin recipe. Moist on the inside with crunchy edges on the muffin top and plenty of luscious chocolate morsels baked right in. A perfect muffin.

Newfoundland Raisin Buns. Traditional Newfoundland raisin tea buns are a cousin to scones and biscuits. Everyone’s Mom or Nan made them. Perfect with a steaming cup of tea.
