I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Okay, so where do I begin.... *sigh* This recipe is my Mom's. Those who read regularly likely know my Mom passed away when I was a teenager. She was incredible. She also made the BEST apple crisp in the world. Up until now I've never shared it. I am still questioning whether or not I should. Not because I don't want to... but because I messed this freaking thing up.... for the first time ever.... in over 30 years.... and I don't want to show it to you.... cuz it's … [Read more...]

More Meyer Lemon Madness. I just love these sweet little lemons. I do not, however, love juicing the meyer lemons. Hubs picked me up 10 bags of meyer lemons. I picked up a case of regular lemons. Then I realized I had close to 100 lemons and not enough upper body strength to juice them all. I spent a few days scoping out juicers. I decided not to buy one. Then I came home and looked at my massive pile of lemons.... and I hopped back in my SUV and hightailed it back to the city. I grabbed … [Read more...]

You all know how much I love pistachios. I mean it's a love like no other. It surpasses my love of turtles even, and you all know how crazy I am about turtles. Pistachios are my go to snack. My favourite thing to munch on while watching a t.v. show or a movie. I love using them in baking. Any excuse to crack open some pistachios is a good day in my book. … [Read more...]

Now here is a cookie any one can make. They are simple, fast and completely off the charts when it comes to flavour. I make a different version of these every year for the holidays. This year I wanted to kick things up a notch. I had scored some coconut M & M's on a shopping excursion to the states. So I hid them away knowing I would use them for just this purpose. I knew I would be so happy I saved them so they could add extra coconut goodness to my already fabulous coconut cookies. I was … [Read more...]
