With Christmas just a few weeks away, I am baking up a storm getting ready for the upcoming holiday. And whether I’m making cookies, candy, squares or slices, my Baker’s Secret pans are a must in my kitchen. I recently received the Baker’s Secret 5 pc. Easy Store Bakeware set, and it’s been an absolute must-have in my kitchen for holiday baking. The 9×13 cake pan is my personal favourite in the set; not only is it a great size for all kinds of squares, it’s ideal for my very favourite Cookies and Cream Cheesecake.
It’s no secret that I am an absolute cheesecake fanatic, so whether I’m making a light and fruity No Bake Berry Cheesecake or a sinfully rich and flavourful Dark Chocolate Ginger cheesecake, I know that the delicious dessert won’t last long once it’s ready to eat. In fact, I’ve been known to sometimes have cheesecake for breakfast! But no matter what type of cheesecake I’m making, I always use Philadelphia Cream Cheese because I know it will give me the creamy, dreamy and delicious texture I love.

I am a huge fan of organic chocolate and for years now, my all-time favourite brand has been Green & Black’s.
From simple white, milk and dark chocolate varieties to exotic choices featuring sea salt, toffee and ginger, every Green & Black’s Organic chocolate bar I’ve tried has featured a rich, distinctive flavour that’s simply irresistible. And while I love snacking on one of these decadent bars, I love cooking with them just as much!
Last spring I used Green & Black’s Organic dark chocolate to create a light and delicious Dark Chocolate Orange Raspberry Tiramisu, and it was definitely a popular recipe.
