So earlier this month I posted my Daring Cooks Challenge results and now it’s time for my first ever Daring Bakers challenge! I joined Daring Bakers because I like baking but I don’t often push myself to make things beyond my comfort zone (macaron-making excluded). This is a good way […]
While at the farmers market the other day I couldn’t resist some more fresh Ontario rhubarb and strawberries. Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic pairing so I figured I’d make some sort of dessert. My mind immediately went to pie and then to crumble. But then I went to Epicurious […]
I’ve been hearing about the Daring Cooks/Daring Bakers challenges FOREVER. I actually signed up for it about a year ago but totally forgot about it until recently. I’ve officially joined both groups! For more information visit this site.

This baby was the dessert to my Easter feast. I saw this recipe in Gourmet (RIP) over a year ago and never got around to making it. When it came time to find a dessert for Easter this seemed perfect. I wanted something light and bright and that didn’t require […]
