Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Candy: No Bake Christmas Candies

December 2, 2013 by Jenn

Learn how to make easy Christmas candy chocolates!   This is a no bake recipe, so all you need is a microwave or a double boiler to melt the chocolate.   This is a thicker version of a traditional peppermint bark so if you’re looking for a peppermint bark recipe, you can still use this, just with thinner layers of chocolate in the mould.  If you don’t have a mould, you can follow the same procedure for the chocolate using a baking tray instead.

Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle: No Bake Trifle Recipe

December 1, 2013 by Jenn

As a food YouTuber and blogger, I find myself trying to tell you how things taste when I post recipes.  It is actually very hard to do and trying recipes for taste is something that you have to do yourself.  What I like, might not be what you like (even though it should be) :).  With Christmas right around the corner, what I love for seasonal tastes are gingerbread, eggnog and sugar cookies.  So with this recipe for Eggnog Gingerbread trifle, I’m getting two of my favourites in one!  If you like either of these flavours, you’ll love this!  If you don’t like either, just make it anyway.

Pumpkin Pie in a Cupcake: Hidden Pumpkin Pie in a Snickerdoodle Cupcake

November 6, 2013 by Jenn

This is a humdinger of a smashup recipe! Pumpkin pie INSIDE a cinnamon cupcake.  O. M. G.  Soooo good!  Yes, it is a time intensive recipe.  You’re basically having to make two different recipes, and then combine them to make one.  It’s twice the work for half the product, but these are made for their “shock” value.  How awesome would it be to surprise your friends and family with what looks like a normal, everyday cupcake, and then, BAM, they bite into it, and PUMPKIN PIE! 

What I like about this recipe is that you can make the pies ahead of time, and freeze them until you need them for the cupcakes.  Just make sure to keep them in a sealed container in the freezer and bring them out to thaw prior to using them.

Movember Mustache Cookie Pops: Moustache Cookies

November 4, 2013 by Jenn

 Movember.  Perhaps the GROSSEST time of the year??  Well, this year, I’m embracing the month of mustache growing and making them my style . . . in COOKIE form!! 

For those of you aren’t familiar with Movember, it happens in Canada and the US (not sure about other parts of the world) every November as a way to bring men’s health to the forefront.  Many men grow their mustaches throughout the month and raise money for research for men’s health issues.  It may be gross (IMO) but it’s all for the good!  These mustache cookie pops are a way to celebrate!

Pumpkin Pie- How to Make

October 12, 2013 by Jenn

Pumpkin Pie is my all time favourite pie.  If I have ever said I liked a pie better than pumpkin pie, I was lying.  My apple pie that I made is great for a fruit pie lover, but this is amazing.  What I love about this pie is that 1. it only has a bottom crust (I’m not a crust fan and I’ve even less of one having worked with pastry over the last couple weeks), and 2. the filling melts in your mouth.  I LOVE that.  Whip yourself up some fresh whipping cream and you’re set for a delicious fall holiday treat.

Apple Turnover Recipe: How to Make Apple Turnovers

October 4, 2013 by Jenn

This Apple Turnover recipe is a little bit different from a traditional turnover as it does not use puff pastry, it uses a pie pastry.  It’s perfect for using up your leftover dough and filling after slaving over the apple pies you may have already made.  Need a good apple pie recipe?  Try mine here.  You’ll find that for these turnovers, you can use your favourite recipe for crust and filling but I’ve got that all laid out for you below!  I’m just that good.
