Saltine Toffee ~ AKA Cracker Crack

2013-06-18T19:38:00.000-03:00

On Saturday, C was sick... let's just leave it at that. So I sent hubs out to find some soda crackers because eventually she started to get hungry and I wasn't tempting fate. By Saturday evening she was back to herself silly though and I was stuck with almost a full box of crackers - that's when I decided to make some 'Cracker Crack'. I've eaten these oodles of times over the holidays

Nutella Brownies

2013-06-15T11:20:00.000-03:00

When you come home with a 5kg bucket of Nutella from Costco, you'd better start finding ways to use it other than on a spoon... lest you get a reputation of sorts on Twitter. I'm putting this out there right from the start - I'm not a brownie person. There are a gazillion treats a would grab ahead of one, but it's Father's Day weekend and hubby loves them. I do however, love Nutella, so there

Confetti Bars

2013-06-10T12:02:00.000-03:00

Maybe it's the stacks of vintage recipes I've been going through lately, but I'm on a nostalgic recipe kick... again. I can remember Mom making squares like these (and the chocolate version too) back when household microwaves first came out... we were melting everything those days! These little no-bake beauties would always come out during baby showers, holidays, funerals, you name it (along with

The Results Are In... How Did We Fare?

2013-06-08T13:21:00.001-03:00

I've finished my first month of blogging on www.theairmilesblog.com and the results for the three of us are in. I'm not a fan of spoilers, but let's just say someone's collecting was most awesome... How did she (or he) do it? Go see! Go see!

Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding

2013-06-08T11:28:00.000-03:00

This is a recipe that I hummed and haa'd about before deciding to write about. I found a long lost loaf of cinnamon raisin bread at the bottom of the freezer, but didn't want to toss it in the green bin so I decided to make a bread pudding. At first, I thought it was too sweet, even though Hubs thought it was awesome (even with raisins). The next day though, I ate some for breakfast right out

No-Bake Cookie Butter Bars

2013-06-04T11:42:00.001-03:00

Did you ever come across a recipe that you couldn't bookmark, couldn't pin, that you had to just run and make right away? I had one of those moments last night when I came across Sugarcrafter's No-Bake Biscoff-Oat Bars. Trader Joe's Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter has been my obsession since my dear sister-in-law brought me back jars of it from her trip south of the border. The Cookie

This is not a sponsored post, sharing because it's important to me... Last weekend, TELUS employees, families and friends (to the tune of about 13,000) took part in #GiveWhereWeLive events all across Canada. Sadly, my event in Halifax was postponed until this Saturday because of rain (rain, rain, rain) last Saturday. Being a friend of TELUS, I was more than happy to give a few hours of my time

Best Buttermilk Waffles (My Search is Over!)

2013-05-24T17:16:00.001-03:00

Last weekend I attempted waffles (again). I've been looking for a waffle recipe to use on a regular basis for years now and none of them have been working out. Some were too sweet, some were too greasy, some were just too tedious for me to bother with that early in the morning. I think I've finally struck waffle gold! Give them a try this weekend and let me know what you think... My
