Lava Chocolate Cakes from Chef Michael Smith – Sweet, Impressive and Gluten Free

It’s May. It’s spring. And for the past few days it’s been gorgeous! I must admit that there are days when I’m sitting in my office at work, looking out the window and wondering if we’re not missing out on too much in life. Not that trip overseas, not that final sale at the mall […]

Mini Chocolate Brownie Muffins

Black and White Butter Cookies

We had such a relaxing weekend. We actually didn’t do anything! We just ate, watched TV, had a movie night and basically just chilled. Of course, our lack of motivation to do something else was a direct result of the wintery weather outside. It was way too cold and way too wet to think about […]

Apple Spice Muffins

Whether you like it or not it is the apple season. Apples are everywhere and it’s not only beautiful and tasty, it’s healthy too. I know, I know, it’s not as healthy when you put it in a muffin, but let’s just pretend 🙂 and anyways, there is no doubt that the sweet smell of […]
