I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today I have something for all you folks in a hurry in the morning. Which is likely 99.99% of you. I mean who are we kidding, most of us are rushing around in the morning. Some of us find we're too busy to eat. I'd like to change that. I mean who doesn't have 3 minutes in the morning for yummy overload. I know I make time for yummy overload. It's the perfect start to any day. … [Read more...]
I just love easy recipe so much. I can't help myself, any chance I get to whip up a quick dessert I jump at it. I'd like to say there's some complicated or honourable reason for it.... but... I just like tricking people. There I said it. I love the idea of people thinking a recipe took a long time to make. I encourage people to think I spent hours in my kitchen working long, tiresome hours in order to satisfy their sweet tooth, and widen their waistlines. I love the feeling of bursting … [Read more...]
I just love no bake desserts. They make me happy. I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts... when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere. So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks. Not sure what that says about me. Not sure I really care. I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week. So life is good. And when … [Read more...]
I hope I got your attention Or I hope this gorgeous Mongolian Beef with Broccoli got your attention. Beef always gets my attention... especially Canadian Beef. My regular readers know I am a proud Canuck through and through.... well... except for those moments when I'm complaining about the weather. One thing I never complain about... Canadian Beef. I happen to live in a place where the quality of beef is sublime. Beef is my favourite when it comes to meat. We … [Read more...]
I swear there are some recipes that are just so easy you just want to keep them to yourself... but that would be wrong! You might also want to hoard the fruits of your labour and not share your goodies with anyone else... but that would be wrong! You should share them with the world and your family... but I totally didn't share them with anyone... well except you... … [Read more...]
I may have just made the easiest dessert on the face of the planet. It's easy, it's cute and it took about 5 to 10 minutes to whip up. I know it's super impressive right. Pfft! These were born out of sheer necessity. I joined a group of bloggers to do a St. Patrick's Day Group Post, then proceeded to get the flu. I had planned to make something else, but after not having been to the grocery store in 10 days the pantry had slim pickings. I still wasn't ready to go shopping at the … [Read more...]
I can hear the collective gasp of surprise now... Kim made something Turtley... Shocking right! I think you'll forgive my obsession when you realize how flipping cute these are. They are also the easiest little cheesecakes in the world to make. We'll call them "cheater cheesecakes". And we won't even feel a little bit bad about it. Trust me, these will make those of you who like to spend hours prepping your desserts change your tune. They take about 3.57 minutes to make... and … [Read more...]

This may be one of the easiest cheesecakes you will ever make. I love cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, but some days I just do not have time to mess around. When I have days like that I do things like this. That way I get an amazing dessert without sacrificing hours in the kitchen. Whipping Cream Week continues. This one uses it in the filling. It's a great way to use up spare heavy cream you may have around the house. … [Read more...]
I'd like to welcome you to the start of Whipping Cream Week. I'm participating in a contest involving real cream which got me to thinking. I buy a big thing of real cream, aka heavy cream, aka whipping cream, at the store and it costs a good pile of dough. Then I use a little bit of it and then forget I have it. I use it up like mad in summer when I am constantly making ice cream. Yet winter months I tend to buy it and forget it is in the fridge. So I decided if I do this, there must be lots of … [Read more...]
