Faux Foodie Friday ~ Mega Monaco Bars

klondike cu final

Monaco bars (or ice cream sandwiches where I grew up!) have always been an absolute favourite of mine but are off limits in a celiac’s life. I also love Klondike Bars but don’t tend to eat a lot of store bought ice creams now. Homemade ice cream sandwiches have been on my to-do list for [...]

Faux Foodie Friday ~ Apple Dump Cake

apple cake cu final

This week has been a whirlwind of information and new people in my new position and I was looking for a quick treat to appease the sweet cravings. As the weather is quite cool in the mornings at the moment and apples are back in season, a quick and easy excuse for a warm apple [...]

NY Crumb Cake

crumb cake final 1

Don’t forget tomorrow is the LAST DAY to enter the giveaway!!! I promise we eat more than just cake at our house and at work. Ok, we sometimes eat cake DISGUSED as other foods, like breakfast, but we do eat other things. Cake just seems to be my favourite! I’m a complete sucker for coffee [...]

Road Test Tuesday ~ Queen Fine Foods

cake 3

This isn’t the post I was going to write tonight.  I completely had something else planned BUT today was just one of those days.  I’m not sure how I’m going to make it to Friday with the amount of emotion present in my office.  I am simply the luckiest boss in the world to have [...]

Workout Wednesday, Gluten Free Flour and a GIVEAWAY!

Yesterday’s 2 cake post for the Lemon Meringue Cake was a mammoth effort and I’ve not been feeling tip top the past few days so I’m giving myself the night off from recipe blogging for you, sorry!  Plus, with the six foot teenager at home the last 2 weeks due to exams, well, there ARE [...]

Road Test Tuesday ~ Masterchef Kitchen Torch and a GIVEAWAY!

meringue final

Lemon meringue is such a favourite of mine and whenever I see sky high lemon meringue pie I always stop to ponder it’s wonder and lure. But, you know that deep in my taste buds heart I am a cake girl. What better way to marry those flavours than with a lemon meringue cake! For [...]

creme egg ice cream cu final

Lenten Update ~ Today is the final day of the Lent and I can say that I am grateful for the season.  It has given me time to try to concentrate on being a bit more patient and kind at a time when things are topsy-turvy and I have a lot to look forward to. [...]

Cadbury Creme Egg Cookie Cake Bars

crreme egg cake bars cu final

These were absolutely delicious!  I’ve run out of steam in posting recipes so head on over to Picky Palate for the recipe and just substitute in your favourite gluten free cake mix (525 grams worth). I substituted the applesauce for the oil or butter too.                    

Cadbury Creme Egg Fudgy Brownies

egg brownies cu final

Mmmmmm brownies.  But these are more like fudge than brownies.  Just like the cookie wars at my house, there are 2 VERY definite camps when it comes to brownies.  The six foot teenager likes his cakey with a crispy bottom and crust.  I certainly do like those too, but every now and again you want [...]
