I love veal scaloppine (even though I have trouble spelling scaloppine) so when I saw the Mushroom Marsala sauce in the Summer Fresh line-up, I knew what I wanted to make with it. Confession time (well, not MY confession), but Paul doesn’t like mushrooms. Which...

Merry Christmas Eve! Well, here we are – the very last day of the Cookie Advent Calendar! This has been an amazing and fun project and I can’t believe that I actually managed to pull it off! I want to thank all my wonderful Cookie Recipe contributors who...

For our Christmas getogethers, I wanted to bake a cookie that incorporated peppermint, since that’s one of the flavours that makes me think immediately of Christmas (eggnog and gingerbread being the other two). A friend recently shared a great orange mocha...

Missy Maki is one busy lady! Not only does she work full-time, she also writes a beautiful food blog AND hosts a weekly radio food talk show. I met Missy when she answered my call for cookie recipes on Twitter and I’m so glad that she contacted me. She is full...

Ange is awesome. Not only does she have an amazing food blog that makes me want to move to BC, but I think she may have been one of the first people (outside of my family) to visit kitchen frolic when it started up. You see, I have another (currently on hiatus) blog,...

Whenever I want to feel inspired, I head over to the Iron Whisk blog. Filled with drool-worthy desserts, I always spend way too much time daydreaming about making the treats that Ilan does and wistfully wishing that I could have been even half as talented when I was...

I cannot thank Jen enough for being the one who sent me and Paul to our first Toronto Underground Market back in September. Previously, we were either busy on the day of the event or couldn’t get our hands on tickets, but a few months ago, I won tickets from Jen...

One of the best things about learning to be better cooks in the kitchen is that Paul and I have been eating a whole lot healthier these days than we were even a year ago (with much more trips to the market and WAY less take-out). And we’re continually learning...

Stephanie and I have a lot in common (besides our name) but she’ll fill you in on that. We’ve moved our chats off of Twitter (after all, what can you really discuss in depth in 140 characters when you have so much to talk about?) and onto email and...

Although I didn’t have any requests as to the type of cookies people submitted to the Advent Calendar, when I asked Jerry from Zeppoli’s to contribute to my Cookie Advent Calendar, I was secretly hoping he’d share a traditional Italian cookie recipe...

You know how once in a while you and a co-worker manage to become friends, great friends, outside of the workplace. You no longer think of that person as someone who you work with, but someone you actually like hanging out with? That happened to me and Christina....

Paul first made these cookies a few years ago and I’m glad he doesn’t make them too often since I can’t stop eating these! They are super-soft, chewy and full of rich, chocolate flavour – all the things I love about cookies. Normally, I’m...

Besides being one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure to meet on Twitter, Linda has a beautiful blog that just inspires me to become a better cook and to enjoy life more! Her recipe combines some of the freshest flavours into one yummy cookie – I...

I “met” Shannon on Twitter when we connected over chats about the Toronto Underground Market. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to attend the same one as she did so I have yet to try out the delicious goodies that Shannon whips up as part of All Mine...

I honestly don’t remember when I first stumbled onto Nicole’s lovely blog, Miss Friday’s Feast, but I was instantly hooked. I think one of the things that drew me to it was Nicole was also a new food blogger, so it was interesting to see how she...
