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
Alana Panna cotta is an Italian dessert that is essentially a creamy jello. It doesn’t sound very appetizing in words, but it’s actually quite good (especially when extra flavours are involved). When all of the nursing peeps and I were finishing (yay!) our final preceptorships (aka clinical practicums) we decided to celebrate! A few of … More White Chocolate Raspberry Panna Cotta
Alana For my last day of preceptorship, aka my final nursing practicum (which I was done in July might I add), I brought in cookies for all of the unit staff. Normally I would have spent some more time on a baking project, but I didn’t have time to make anything prior to the night … More White Chocolate Blueberry Cookies
Alana Over May long weekend was Theresa’s birthday! Our friend Katherine hosted a surprise dinner for her, because Theresa is always super on-top of other people’s birthdays and has the best ideas when it comes to that sort of stuff. I was disappointed I couldn’t be there (I had already made other commitments), but I … More Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake
Alana As a continuation of my cookie-sprint, I wanted to revisit my MiniEgg Easter Cookies. My intention was to use the same recipe, but switch up the mix-ins with something different (ie. the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries). Then I realized that I have a bunch of awesome baking books that I haven’t tried … More Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Alana It’s that time of year again! Winter semester is coming to an end, so it’s time to bring in treats for all of the staff at Boyle Street Community Services. Time has been really tight lately with lots of group projects and deadlines, so all I wanted was something quick. I decided to revisit … More MiniEgg Easter Cookies
Alana This post is unfortunately very late! Before winter semester ended (in April), my friend Theresa suggested we have a bake day before our mental health semester started (at the beginning of May). I don’t remember why, but we ended up making scones. No regrets at all! I was going on a snowboarding trip the … More Blackberry White Chocolate & Orange Chocolate Scones
Alana As mentioned in Roopa’s post about the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Sandwich Cookies, this past weekend has been one of celebration, because today is my birthday! My birthday however, is not the only one that required celebrating! Friday was my mother’s birthday, so I decided to make her (but also kind of myself) a … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Birthday Cake
Alana As per the latest trend, today’s baking post is brought to you by my BScN-in-progress. I finished my last two weeks of clinical on Friday, so again as a thank you, everybody in my clinical group brought something for the nursing staff on our unit. Because time was of the essence, I decided it … More White Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
