Recipes

Apricot Raisin Cake. One of the most popular seasonal cake recipes here in Newfoundland during the Holidays, but it is easy enough to be enjoyed any time of year.

Chocolate Chip Candy Cane Cookies. Good, old fashioned crispy, chewy chocolate chip cookies dressed up for Christmas with chunks of candy cane baked right on top. The ideal cookie to leave for Santa.

Easy Leftover Turkey Strudel, using store bought frozen puff pastry. What could be easier after Thanksgiving or Christmas, than this delicious pastry wrapped leftover turkey, served with leftover gravy too.

Toffee Pecan Shortbread Cookies – simple, perfect buttery shortbread cookies filled with chunks of toasted pecans and peppered with toffee bits. An ultimately decadent shortbread recipe.

Christmas Hot Cross Buns. A Holiday version of the Easter favourite that just may become a new Christmas tradition!

Midnight Mint Thumbprint Cookies. A dark chocolate thumbprint cookie filled with creamy mint frosting and capped with a dollop of rich dark chocolate.

Kahlua Nanaimo Bars – a celebration of my favourite coffee liqueur and my favourite Canadian cookie bar. Perfect for the Holidays.

Christmas Sugar Cookies + how to easily decorate them using royal icing in the colorflow frosting technique. How easy? My 12 year old made these. They look ready for a “Frozen” themed Christmas party.

Chewy Gingerbread Cookies have a bit more personality than plain ginger snaps. Soft, chewy, fragrantly aromatic and utterly addictive; a gingerbread lovers dream.

Christmas Tourtière. Traditional French meat pie. Christmas Eve would not be the same for many people without this flavourful herb and spice seasoned pie with a light flakey pastry crust.
