Rhubarb Custard Cake

Pretty, red rhubarb

Spring has arrived, and that means it's the time of year when well-meaning neighbours and relatives gift you with armloads of ruby red rhubarb. You thank them — "You grew it yourself? Fanstastic!" — but you're secretly wondering what you're supposed to do with it. 

Nutella Cheesecake Twists

Twisting ribbons of Nutella and cheesecake filling wind through this delicious pastry.

Rich, chocolatey Nutella. Smooth, tangy cheesecake. Flaky pastry. Do I have your attention yet? As a good friend recently said to me, "You had me at Nutella."

Chocolate Cracker Toffee

You won't be able to eat just one. Or one dozen.

I am in love with Pinterest.

I love spending time pinning interesting photos, recipes, outfits, houses and vacation spots. I have spent billions of imaginary dollars decorating fabulous rooms and buying pretty clothes. I also get many ideas for recipes I would never have otherwise thought about. Here is one such recipe I found, tried, and fell in love with — Cracker Toffee.

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

Cookie monsters, assemble!

What is the perfect chocolate chip cookie? Well, that depends upon how you like them! Do you like them thin and crispy? Chewy and gooey? I like mine chewy, gooey and buttery. I make them smaller so I don't feel guilty by eating a small handful. I use dark chocolate chips for an extra flavour punch. For extra large, impressive cookies, use an ice cream scoop and flatten the dough balls gently. Don't forget to increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
