Here is a really fun idea that would make fabulous and unusual gifts for your friends and family this Christmas. They are cute, tasty and really easy to make . . . a really fabulous edible novelty gift! And of course it uses everyone's favourites Malteasers Chocolate Malt Balls and Terry's Chocolate...
When my children were growing up I did a Gingerbread creation for them every year, without fail. I always enjoyed doing and they really enjoyed the fruits of my labours. This is a recipe which I had shared on my old Oak Cottage Blog about 8 years ago now, but I thought it was worthy of sharing here in my...
Well, I guess the holiday season is well and truly upon us now. Time to get baking! Often during the years when my children were growing up I did not have a lot of money to buy gifts for other people and so the thing that I would love to do most of all was to prepare a tray of baking to gift people with. ...
I know that all of my North American friends cooked their Thanksgiving turkeys yesterday. I also helped to cook aThanksgiving Dinner this year for all of the Missionaries in our District. Not too many leftovers here, but I know that many of you have refrigerators bulging with leftovers, and that some...
This is a recipe I got from a Women's Weekly Cookbook entitled "Muffins, Scones and Bread." I like the Women's Weekly books. I have a few of them and the recipes always turn out well and are delicious. These little damper buns are no exception!

Finding a dessert during the holidays that is diabetic friendly and good for those who are slimming can be a real challenge. I think I have come up with the perfect solution. It is diet friendly, light, sugar free and it actually tastes delicious. It will never quite replace cake or pie . . . ...
In my quest for eating healthier I baked us some delious Mini Turkey Loaves for supper the other night. These are FAB ulous! Moist and filled with lovely flavours.

The people at Rachel's sent me over some fresh new Autumn/Winter recipes for me to try. Boy do they ever look delicious. With my diabetes I have to be a bit careful what I eat at the moment, so the first one I tried was the Avocado on Sour Dough Toast with Chilli Scrambled Egg & Bacon. (I...
One thing I despaired of when I first moved over here to the UK, was the lack of cake mixes. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy made from scratch cakes and more often than not I make my cakes from scratch, always have, always will . . . but there are times when it's pretty handy to have a cake mix in...
My Todd really loves a spice cake, and this applesauce cake is one of his favourites. He loves apple anything to begin with, but when you combine the flavour of apples in a cake along with the warm baking spices, he is in cake heaven. He would probably rather have an apple pie for sure, but this is a close...
In our house when I was growing up you could tell what day of the week it was by whatever my mother was cooking for supper. Friday nights were always hot dog nights. On Saturdays we had baked beans. Sundays was a roast usually . . . pork, which was always served cold because that was...
My mom always said that I could take an old boot and make it taste delicious. I am not sure if that is true or not, but I do have a knack for creating something delicious to eat using whatever I have to hand. Today I had leftover potatoes and roast pork from dinner the other day that I needed to use up pronto...
I make no secret of it. Pasta is one of my absolute favourite things to eat. The Toddster, well not so much, but gradually through the years I have been wearing him down to the point where now he doesn't quite protest so much when I cook it. Me . . . well . . . I am in heaven just to sit...
Having spent a great deal of my formative years and part of my adulthood in Nova Scotia, Canada, I consider myself to be from Nova Scotia, even though I was born on Prince Edward Island. I am an Airforce Brat, and the ex-wife of a Canadian Serviceman, which means I have lived in many places in my life . ....
I was recently sent some samples of the new Limited J2O Midnight Editions juice drinks! Delicious!
Midnight Forest - an enchanting blend of real orange and cherry fruit
juices with a hint of chocolate flavour to excite the senses. The
inviting flavours and unique bottle design will transport you to an...
IF I am really on the ball on Sundays, I make good use of my slow cooker by popping dinner into it before we leave for church. This week I got lucky and got this lovely Merlot Beef Ragout on quite early in the morning, so it was cooked to perfection by the time we got home. Some rice and a couple of veg and...
I made myself a promise when I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic that I was going to try to bake something diabetic friendly at least once a week that I could share with others, that we would all find delicious and appealing. I confess that some of my experiments have been pretty blah, but occasionally I have...
This was always a really busy time of year for me when the children were growing up. This was the time I began all of my Christmas baking preparations each year. Baking cookies and cakes and tarts for the holidays and freezing them as I went along. We always did a lot of entertaining during...
Where we live in Blacon, a suburb of Chester City, we are surrounded by Leek fields. You can smell them in the air this time of year and it's a gorgeous smell. It makes your taste buds tingle and your mouth water. Leeks are a real autumn and winter favourite in our house and November 1st...
