Buttercream Icing
It’s my birthday! I figure since cake will be involved, it’s the perfect day to share a recipe for buttercream icing.
I don’t discriminate when it comes to icing but if I had to pick just one, this would have to be it.

Fudgey Pecan Pie
Growing up, we took a lot of road trips. We drove through most of Canada and a lot of the United States, going a different route every summer. Those were some long hours in the car but so many great memories were made. One trip which stands out was one where we drove from Eastern Canada all the way down to Florida. We made a stop in Hershey Pennsylvania and went to the Hershey Factory. Naturally, a visit to a chocolate factory is definitely something this chocoholic still dreams about.

Instant Pot Lasagna
With life being as crazy as it is, I’m always on the search for a quick and delicious meal. I still turn to the Instant Pot when I need to get dinner on the table in a hurry. From ribs to potatoes, it really is my go-to. It’s also perfect to make Instant Pot Lasagna.

Mini Peach and Almond Cups

Doesn’t this seem like it’s been the longest winter ever! I thought that by escaping the cold in January, it would shorten this cold spell but it does seem never ending.
I’ve decided to forget the cold and dream of Spring, in particular Easter and Mother’s Day. These occasions are perfect for a tea party, don’t you think?
These mini peach and almond cups are perfect with tea, or coffee if you prefer. The peaches bring a brightness, a touch of sunshine while the almonds make them filling and provide a great texture. The combination is very delicious.

While travelling to Texas for a cruise last month, we decided to book an extra couple days to explore San Antonio. We were expecting to spend a few days in the sun. Instead, we ended up in Texas during a winter storm!

How did this Nutella lover almost miss World Nutella Day? It’s no secret that it’s one of my favourite things. Just a spoonful makes the perfect dessert, don’t you think?

Hot Crab Dip
If you don’t already know, I am a sucker for a good dip. Whether it be for veggies or chips, dips are just one of my favourite things to serve at a party. So, for Superbowl Sunday, it just makes sense to have a delicious dip to add to the spread. I knew it had to be hot and cheesy and this hot crab dip fits the bill.
