What’s for (Christmas) Breakfast – Frittata

merry_christmas-1

I think this used to be called a “wifesaver” back in the day.  I originally got the recipe from Kraft Canada but it looks like they’ve changed it since I found it a few years ago.  I’ve made a few modifications based on our favourite foods, but you can use whatever veggies and meat you . . . → Read More: What’s for (Christmas) Breakfast – Frittata

Christmas cookies – Snickerdoodles

010-3

Snickerdoodles are my brothers favourite Christmas cookies, so I’ve been baking them for him for years.  They’re also great for mailing and for cookie exchanges because one recipe makes a TON!  I can’t wait until Ashlyn is old enough to help, I think she’ll really enjoy rolling the cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Christmas cookies – Shortbread

IMG_3159-1

I’ve made these shortbread cookies for years.  It’s another recipe from my Aunt Jina and they are by far the best shortbread cookies I’ve ever made.  They were my grandpa’s favourite and I’d send them to him every year at Christmas.

You can make the dough a day or two ahead . . . → Read More: Christmas cookies – Shortbread

Christmas cookies – Ricotta cookies

002-10

I make these every year; the recipe came from a girl on a bridal forum I used when I was planning my wedding 4 years ago.  They taste like cinnamon buns!  Important note: I’ve posted the filling amounts as the recipe was given to me, but it makes so much that I . . . → Read More: Christmas cookies – Ricotta cookies

This past weekend, we hosted our very first Christmas for my husband’s family.  This is the first time in six years that we’ve been in the same province as our family for the holidays and we were so excited to have everyone to our home and to prepare a traditional Christmas dinner!

What’s for breakfast: Eggnog muffins

002-8

I love muffins and I love eggnog. When my friend posted a link to eggnog muffins I knew it was something I had to try ASAP.  I’m so glad that I did!  I haven’t tried the spiced butter yet but I plan to give that a shot a little closer to Christmas.

Happy Halloween!  My little pirate is taking a nap so I thought I’d post this delicious pumpkin cookie recipe, from Martha Stewart.  I made them a few days ago and they are perfect alone or with a steamy mug of tea – which is something I’m craving since there is snow on the ground here . . . → Read More: What’s for Halloween – Pumpkin Cookies

What’s for breakfast – Pumpkin Coffee Cake

001-11

With Thanksgiving either over (if you’re Canadian) or approaching (if you’re American), Halloween right around the corner and Christmas none too far away, baking is at an all-time high in my household.  When fall arrives, I love to use pumpkin but I don’t always want to bake a pie.  Then I found this killer . . . → Read More: What’s for breakfast – Pumpkin Coffee Cake
