Even though they don’t grow here in Canada, nothing says summer to me like mangos. I find they’re at their best when bought in the early summer, and having a piece of perfectly ripe mango always makes me feel like I’m on a tropical beach.
I was in my late teens when I first fell in love with mango, and I got my whole family involved with my new favourite food. We tried mango in everything from ice cream to salsa. And one of our very favourite mango recipes was Mango Bread. [Read more…]
Let’s talk chocolate. Specifically, let’s talk chocolate chip cookies. Is there anything better than a tender, melty, hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie?
Yes. Yes, there is. And it is these fun and delicious, best-of-both-worlds Double Reverse Chocolate Chip Cookies. Half regular chocolate chip cookie and half chocolate dough with white chocolate chips, this cookie is ALL yum.
These cookies were ones my mom used to make on special occasions and as a child, I called them Yin Yang Cookies because of the way the dark and light halves melted together. My husband, though, refers to them as Black and White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Look to the cookie, people! [Read more…]
When it comes to holiday baking, there are a few tried and true favourites that my family absolutely can’t live without. Benjamin always requests his favourite No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. And Zackary and my husband are both fans of my foolproof Butterscotch Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies.
But personally, my favourite holiday treats must have my favourite holiday ingredient…Philadelphia Cream Cheese! The smooth, tangy taste of Philly is good for so much more than just cheesecake. And that’s why my holiday baking always includes this scrumptious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll. It’s easy, looks fancy and tastes absolutely divine! [Read more…]
Ever since I was a child, Triscuit crackers have been my very favourite crackers. I love the crunch and texture of the whole wheat squares and I often have them with a few slices of cheese and some fresh veggies for a light lunch.
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the original Triscuits, but I also adore the different flavoured crackers that are now available. The Roasted Garlic Triscuits are perfect for a charcuterie board. And the Balsamic & Basil crackers have the most addictive tangy-sweet flavour.
As much as I love trying new and different foods and recipes, there’s just no beating a classic. And in our house, Kraft Creamy Peanut Butter has always been a classic choice for my recipes, whether I’m making a simple batch of peanut butter cookies or a savoury Thai Peanut Beef recipe.
So, when Kraft Canada asked me to share my favourite peanut butter recipe, choosing just one was no easy job! But I was in a nostalgic mood and craving something sweet, so I chose my very favourite foolproof Butterscotch Peanut Butter Confetti Squares recipe!
