I recently got a Romertop clay baker from my mom. What is a clay baker?? Clay bakers can be used for slow cooked meals. Normally clay bakers need to be soaked for 15 minutes before baking in the oven. They trap the moist air and help make the food cook at a consistent temperature. I’ve…

Milk and Honey Bread
What can be better before bed than a warm cup of honey and milk. It was always a favourite at my house. We even loved honey and milk so much we ate it with our cereal. I wanted all those memories of honey and milk so I searched for a recipe that incorporated both. Yum…
For the Love of Sourdough: Take 2 Sourdough Millet Rye Bread
For my second attempt at making sour dough, I decided to use some flours I had in my pantry. At one point, I was making, creating and trying a bunch of gluten free recipes. Both my aunt and younger sister was not eating any gluten. It was probably the toughest period of time experimenting on…
Black Forest Cake … and Cupcakes
This is not an easy recipe. Turn back while you still can. It takes a lot of work and time but the results are awesome. Begin by preparing your ingredients. You will need to make moistening syrup to mix with your liquor. Combine 3/4 cup water and 3/4 sugar in a sauce pan. Heat until…

Almond Cupcakes All Jammed Up
I love this simple vanilla almond cupcake. Its a great moist cupcake that you can add different icing flavours to make it unique. I decided to make the icing with some jam I recently made to make it a jam cream cheese frosting. Prep the ingredients. Remember to take out the eggs, butter and shift…
Carrot Coconut Cupcakes and White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing
Carrot cake is best when you serve it with cream cheese frosting. It is even better when you serve it with white chocolate cream cheese icing! This recipe comes from another favourite cookbook: Rebar Modern Food Cookbook. This is no ordinary carrot cake. There are many additional ingredients found in this recipe. A lot of…
Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are fun cookies to make and to eat. They are a type of drop cookie that is rolled in cinnamon and sugar. I tried this for the first time and now its one of my favourites. First mix the sugar and butter. When the butter and sugar mixture has turned a nice golden colour,…
