Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Updated with a new picture April 4, 2014 As the E! Fashion Police panel would say, I’m so on trend with these cookies right now. In January they popped up on Picky Palate, and have been all over the place since.

Butterscotch Cream Pie

March 27, 2011 Pies, Tarts & Pudding

This is my re-creation of the pie of my dreams that I had in Halifax. It’s a pastry crust, filled with butterscotch pudding and topped with whipped cream, and it was a sweet second course at my blog-iversary party. I’m calling this version 1.0, because there are a few things I’m going to do differently next time.

Sweet and Salty Cake + 1st Blog-iversary Party

March 25, 2011 Blog-iversary

As my 1st blog-iversary approached, I knew I would use it as an excuse to get to some long-drooled-over recipes.

I had a super fun, though way too brief, visit with Danielle in St. John’s after my work trip to Halifax last week. Obviously we got up to some good eats (and maybe a trip to Bulk Barn for peanut butter M&Ms and mini-eggs). The main downtown strip in St. John’s is George Street, and it’s […]

East Coast Eats: Halifax

March 8, 2011 Bakeries & Restaurants

In 2008 I spent two weeks in Halifax, and it was amazing for so many reasons. My family is from a tiny town in Nova Scotia, but this was my first time in the city. I had so much fun, and my best work friend Paulette was with me the whole time. We worked hard […]

Alexis and Nick are having a baby, you guys! Baby R is due to arrive on the scene in the middle of March, and a few weeks ago, Alexis’ mom hosted a little party for the mama-to-be.
