While it’s been an incredibly mild winter in our neck of the woods, it’s still winter none the less, and I’m counting down the days when the days are longer, the air is warmer, and the patios are open for business. But for now, the best way for me to chase away the winter blahs is with these adorable—and brightly coloured—Strawberry Cheesecakes!
Today is National Banana Bread Day, and to celebrate, I'm posting up my go-to banana bread recipe! I've turned to this recipe time and time again for many years now, and it never fails me. Perfect banana bread every time. Intense banana flavours. Not too sweet. Super moist. Great crumb. What else can you ask for in a stellar banana bread?
There's always a batch of granola in my house, as it's my morning ritual to have a bowl of yogurt with homemade granola and honey for my breakfast. This basic granola recipe I rely on still remains one of my favourites, but the most popular post on my blog here is actually this granola recipe made with steel-cut oats.
You know those fruit cream cookies? Those vanilla sandwich cookies with the jellied fruit center? I used to love those. It has been years since I've had one, and I'm pretty sure if I did pick one up today, I would grimace at its artificial flavouring. But I've finally come across a cookie that evokes the memories of said cookie without all the added unnecessary ingredients. It has also become another staple in my holiday baking line-up.
With so many strawberries on hand, I turned most of them into jam. I never really was much of a jam person until I started making my own. Store-bought jam, no matter how gourmet it is, still seems too...gelatinous to me, and far too sweet.
Last Sunday was an absolutely stunning day to be outdoors in the GTA. Blue skies, sun beating down, hot without all that yucky humidity. While some may have headed for the beaches or the pools, I headed out to the strawberry fields.
Now, I love Dorie Greenspan. I have great admiration and love for her, and am such a big fan of her books and her recipes. All the recipes that I have tried so far from her latest book, Around My French Table, have turned out wonderfully.
I think I'm in love. In love with this granola, that is.
I've been such a huge fan of granola in the past year. My favourite way to start a morning is with a bowl of yogurt, some fresh fruit and homemade granola, drizzled with a bit of honey or maple syrup.
If there's one apple cake you must make this fall, it's Marie-Hélène’s Apple Cake as featured in Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table.
This "cake" is packed (and I mean packed) with apples—the perfect way to use up all those local apples from the market or the orchard.
