Roopa One of my best friends Clara is visiting me! She requested something with cream cheese icing, because that’s her favourite thing that I’ve made. I thought I’d one up it by using mascarpone instead of cream cheese. And then life happened. I definitely left myself with far less time than I initially intended, and … More Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies
Roopa It’s my coworker Taryn’s birthday on Friday! I know she loves chocolate, and she always is drinking tea, so I thought I’d try make some Earl Grey flavoured brownies. I only had cocoa handy, so I adapted these cocoa based fudge brownies from Sally’s Baking Addiction (my go-to blog for fun bars and brownies). They … More Chocolate Earl Grey Brownies
Roopa There are three class birthdays this week, so clearly, I got volunteered into making three desserts. The first choice was these cake batter blondies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Originally I was planning on making a croquembouche, but then I decided I should probably pass school. They were a big hit in class, and basically … More Cake Batter Blondies
RAW VEGAN BROWNIE BITES Roopa These were quite literally the byproduct of hanger [hunger + anger] + a no refined sugar health kick + an insatiable chocolate craving. I raided my kitchen and scrounged up dates, peanut butter, and cocoa. I put them into a food processor with a bit of almond milk until they … More Brownie Bites
Alana I first made this recipe for a ladies’ night in with Roopa and a few of our other lady-friends, which was a potluck style event. Naturally Roops and I brought desserts, but there was a catch. A couple of the girls can’t do dairy, and a couple can’t do eggs. Hmm… So I was … More Zucchini Brownies
Alana The next recipe in my Christmas baking line-up is Nanaimo bars. I picked these because they have quite often appeared at my family’s Christmas celebrations. They are also don’t require an oven, so it was easy to make these while my Egg Nog Pound Cake was in the oven 🙂 I also don’t have … More Nanaimo Bars
Roopa It was my boyfriend’s brother’s birthday last week, and I ditched out on going to visit a friend this weekend, so I decided to make some mailable treats! I can’t say I’ve ever done this before, so I’m not entirely sure what works best. Cupcakes were obviously out of the question, and I was … More Peanut Butter Bars
Alana My grandparents are snowbirds, and fly down to Dessert Hot Springs (in California) every winter. Turns out they started to dry their own dates, and brought some for all of the family when they came back! I’m generally not a big date eater, so I was going to let my mom have at’em… until … More Maple Date Bars
Alana Roopa’s birthday just passed, so naturally treats were in order! She requested that I make one of our old favourite recipes, Eagle’s Magic Cookie Bars! This recipe is super easy to follow, and absolutely delicious! Generally there are a few standard modifications that we make to the original. The recipe I used in this … More Magic Cookie Bars
