Chewy Raisin Bars
Chewy Raisin Bars. These old fashioned cookie squares are a little dense and chewy like blondies, with a delicious, caramel flavour which comes from using only brown sugar in the batter.

Best Newfoundland Christmas Cake Recipes. A collection of 16 recipes for traditional Christmas Cakes from my childhood, plus new twists on tried & true favourites.
Vinegar Pie, an up-to-date recipe that still stays true to its roots! The basic ingredients are all there but with a few little extras for even better flavour!
Lassy Mogs. A Newfoundland favourite; well spiced, soft cookies with a deep molasses flavour and filled with dried fruit and crunchy pecans. Irresistible!
Simnel Cake. A British Easter tradition. A light fruitcake with a layer of marzipan baked into the centre, then topped with a traditional marzipan decoration.
The Best Chewy Oatmeal Cookies. A real old fashioned recipe that has crispy edges and a softer chewier centre. The secret here is not to over bake them or they will become brittle.
Peach Fruitcake. A decades old family recipe for a dense, flavourful and very moist fruitcake for the Holiday season, with instructions for soaking in brandy too.
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.
Christmas Pudding. This simplified recipe is baked, not steamed but still has all the great molasses spice flavour of a traditional pudding. Incredibly delicious with our Rum & Butter Sauce!
Fruitcake Loaf Cake. A richly flavoured cream cheese batter is the star of this quick, easy fruitcake in a smaller, more economical loaf size for those who don’t want or need a large fruitcake.
