I had a Date with a Date: Apple Date Nut Bread
I have to be honest. Lately I’ve been having some trouble figuring out what day it is. From what I can tell, yesterday was Bakingday, today is Cleaningday, or to be more precise, Kitchencleaningday and tomorrow could be Gardeningday but I can’t say for sure. This is the best I can do at the moment … Continue reading I had a Date with a Date: Apple Date Nut Bread
It’s a messy situation: Cinnamon Buns
It’s true, I haven’t been here for quite some time. But unlike my absence from the shallow blog (in case you don’t know) where I made the case that it is, in fact, difficult to be shallow during a pandemic, I can’t use that excuse for this one. Au contraire. We know by now that … Continue reading It’s a messy situation: Cinnamon Buns
It All Started on the 401: Rugelach
As I look back on what has become a somewhat longish life, there are adventures I’ve had with predictable endings from the get go and others that brought a few surprises. Those of you who know me well know that I didn’t always live in the frigid north-west of this vast country of ours. Nope. … Continue reading It All Started on the 401: Rugelach
Times Up! Yogurt based loaves
Wondering where I’ve been? No worries. I’m exactly where I was last time we spoke. Which now that I think about it was quite some time ago. Here’s the thing.

It’s A Bagel!
For those of you who don’t know, I’m originally from Toronto. Now, in and of itself, that’s neither here nor there. What I can tell you is that the big city wasn’t quite so big when I was there. Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t a village, although I did live in one for a … Continue reading It’s A Bagel!
Baking: Not Always a Bowl of Cherries
If you are anything like me, and I’m not suggesting you are, you know that no matter what you do, sometimes things go right and sometimes they go wrong. The thing is, from the get go you never know exactly how it’s all going to end up. Hopefully for all of us, we have more … Continue reading Baking: Not Always a Bowl of Cherries
Carrot Zucchini Walnut Loaf: Stuck in a Rut? So What!
It has occurred to me lately that I might be in a bit of a rut. Even before this pandemic. Now I realize that those of you who only read this blog and not my “other” one don’t know all that much about me. So let me start by telling you that, while I don’t … Continue reading Carrot Zucchini Walnut Loaf: Stuck in a Rut? So What!
Cheddar and Chive Guinness Bread: It’s no Sour Dough but…
Quite some time ago I decided it would be a good idea for me to learn to bake bread. I certainly wasn’t a baker back then so can’t say I know why. Seems to me, the last time I looked there was plenty of the stuff on the shelves of my local grocer. Besides, nothing … Continue reading Cheddar and Chive Guinness Bread: It’s no Sour Dough but…
Banana Sour Cream Loaf: Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
It’s just the way it is. There are times, no matter how hard you try, or think you might like to try, when you really have very little choice about what you can do. Like now. How many of us would like to be doing whatever it was we were doing around the beginning of … Continue reading Banana Sour Cream Loaf: Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
Morning Glory Muffins: What the heck is Red Fife flour?
This was never meant to be an ordinary baking blog. I don’t have any nostalgic stories about how I spent my childhood learning the “ins and outs” of baking from my dear, departed Grandmother, or recalling the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies wafting from the kitchen as I came through the door, tired and … Continue reading Morning Glory Muffins: What the heck is Red Fife flour?
