I know, I know. I'm weird. Who makes something maple flavoured in the Summer? In case you can't see, that would be me reluctantly raising my hand. It's like I'm just asking for it. I'm tempting the fates. Tomorrow all the leaves are going to turn orange and fall from the trees. And it will...

I have a confession to make. Are you ready? Like really ready? Ok, here goes. I'm 41. Ok no, not really. You should see your face. I couldn't keep a straight face on that one either. Let me clarify. According to my Wii I'm 41. My Wii thinks I'm 41. Should this offend me? Because...

I have a few pet peeves. Ok maybe more than a few, but I won't make you labour through reading all that, so here are just a few: Dried toothpaste in the sink. A sticky nightmare to clean off and you just know it's been in someone's mouth. The word flimsy. It sounds too much...

There are a few specific types of food that it is considered absolutely criminal to dislike. Corn on the cob, for example. It's in season and it's on sale at the supermarket by the bin-fulls.

I love the thrill of planning little surprises to catch...

I'm a magician. Did you know? I make magic in the kitchen. I not only make delicious food, but I also transform your everyday snack into something extraordinary. Allow me to demonstrate. Watch closely. I'm good. I took this seemingly plain and obviously delicious chocolate cupcake recipe and transformed it into ice cream! A light...

I'm in an honest sort of mood so I think it's about time I confessed a few things. I have never used unsalted butter in any recipe though most of the recipes I've posted on here call for it. I'll tell you a little secret about butter. If the recipe calls for salt then you...

One of the happiest childhood memories that I have is licking the beaters whenever I helped my Mom in the kitchen. Whether it was cookie dough or brownie batter or icing, licking the beaters was always the best part about baking at that young age. It's that little preview of the treat you're helping to...
