These gingerbread snowflakes are a staple in our home come the holidays, and always make their way onto the cookie platters I bring to get-togethers this time of year. According to my hubby these are “Christmas in a cookie”, although his opinion may be biased as these are his absolute favorite and the first cookie…
Toffee Zucchini Oat Squares
Going through my camera these past few days I’ve come across numerous recipes that have yet to make their way onto the blog. This is the first of many to pop up in the next few weeks. Concocted a few weeks back, after a grueling 2 hour workout at the gym and a major calorie…

My Funny Valentine…
One week early or twelve months late… I guess it depends on your outlook really, glass half full or half empty? This is one of the many post that have stayed in draft format on this blog due to my inescapable ability to miss the tiny window tied to holiday themed posts. Work had…
