Rainbow Chocolate Chip Microwave Cookie: No Bake Cookie in a Mug

November 25, 2013 by Jenn

 Through our visits to LA over the last couple of months, we’ve been able to meet some really great people!  One of those great people is Hetal, from Show Me the Curry.  Her and her partner, have a YouTube channel that specializes in Indian recipes, and they look so amazing!  While we were at YouTube Space LA, we found ourselves together in what looked to be a bachelor type pad, so we decided to do a couple of collabs together on microwavable recipes!  Make sure you head over to Hetal’s channel and check out her collab with me, baking a Bachelor Brownie.

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!

Chocolate Macarons with a Nutella Filling

October 24, 2013 by Jenn

Macarons have been on my baking bucket list for forever!  They are something that as soon as I saw them, I knew I had to learn how to make them.  So about a year ago, I decided I would try.  I NEVER fail at baking.  Ever.  I’ve failed at decorating many times, but the actual baking process has always been successful for me.

I failed at making macarons.  THREE times.  THREE!  How can an experienced baker, FAIL at something so little and cute?  It has to be easy.  Well, after experimenting with recipes three (did I mention that) different times, I finally found one that worked!  On the first try.

So as a gift to you, I am sharing it!  Happy day!

Apple Pie Cookies- How to Make

October 15, 2013 by Jenn

For this recipe, you’re going to need to check out our apple pie pastry and filling recipe which can be found here.  If you want to use store bought shells and filling, by all means do that!  Time is often of the essence and let’s face it, sometimes you just want to do something easy that you know is going to taste good (no matter what you do).  BUT, if you want to try this from scratch, I have the recipes all ready for you to do that.  It’s so satisfying to bake something you’ve never made before. 

These are a labour of love for what you get out of them in the end.  Let’s just make that clear!  There is a lot of leftover dough and apple pie filling, but the cuteness of the cookies definitely makes up for that! Besides, you can always do what I did and scoop all the leftovers up into a pan and bake them like that…I call it, Apple Pie “bake”/mess.

Homemade Brownie Recipe

September 20, 2013 by Jenn

Oh my gosh, I’m having the worst chocolate craving right now!!  What is better than a gooey, moist, chewy brownie?  Maybe a glass of milk to go with it?! I’m going to have to make up another batch of these . . . to give away of course.  Of course, not.

A brownie isn’t a brownie to me unless there are chocolate chunks or chocolate chips!  These brownies have all of my prerequisites for a delicious brownie…so if you’re a brownie snob like me, check this recipe out.  There’s nothing worse than a brownie that tastes like CAKE.
