Roopa I made this loaf for my friend Kara’s birthday – she said she liked lemon and blueberries, and I was way too lazy to make anything more than a loaf. I used a recipe from Half Baked Harvest since I thought the thyme was intriguing. Overall, it paired really nicely with the flavours in … More Blueberry Lemon Loaf
Alana A few weeks ago I went a little bit scone-crazy. Mike and I made a day-trip to Jasper to go skiing at Marmot Basin. For those of you who are not familiar with Edmonton and Jasper, it is about a 4 hour drive between the two. Day trips are therefore totally doable, but you … More Scones, of Many Varieties

I don’t have endless hours to spend cruising … More Blueberry Lemon Scones
Alana Time to celebrate! It’s only March, but this is my last week of class/lab/seminar! Just like last term, my seminar group is having a potluck on our last day (aka tomorrow). As is the trend, I was excited to have a reasonably justifiable excuse to spend an entire day baking. I decided that it … More Blueberry-politan Cupcakes
