lime meltaway cookies cookie calendar 2012 – day 8 {recipe}

Dec 8, 2012 | cookies & bars, desserts & sweets, in the kitchen, recipes

I chose to try this cookie recipe because of one word: "lime". Paul loves lime-flavoured treats so I figured this would be a good cookie to master. This cookie is really simple to make and you don't have to worry about it spreading out when baking as it pretty much...

I had been Twitter-stalking SmashCake for a few months in the hopes that I would be able to attend an event where her cupcakes were sold. A few months ago, I finally got my chance when a last-minute change meant that SmashCake was going to set up shop at the Toronto...

I've only recently met Lindsay through Twitter, but considering she just submitted a shortbread cookie with Eggnog flavouring (EGGNOG!!! I love Eggnog) I know that I'll be scouring her blog for cooking ideas. I've never tried making a log cookie before, so these are...

Selina and I connected on Twitter over a photo of gon chow ngau ho (dry stir-fry beef flat rice noodles) and we've been Twitter pals ever since. We have so much in common (besides our love of food) and she's one of the nicest people I've met since I started food...

Dec 4, 2012 | cookies & bars, desserts & sweets, in the kitchen, recipes

The power of Twitter to connect like-minded people still amazes me sometimes. Here's a great example. Sometime in mid-November, the lovely Yvonne (aka @th3hungrycat - who I had first met on Twitter, and then met in real life) suggested I contact @noshameshow to see if...

Aren't these little gingerbread cookies the CUTEST things ever? Stuart is a blogger over in Scotland whose blog had me hooked as soon as I came across it a few months ago. Partly, it's because his cartoon alter-ego, Cakey Boi, is adorable, but also, the more I got to...

Paul and I both have a soft spot for Hawaii. It was where we spent our honeymoon (two glorious weeks - one on Oahu and one on Kauai) and we hope to go back in a couple of years. Although I wasn't as food-obsessed back then as I am now, we still did manage to eat...
