Here in Yellowknife we had quite the drama involving a banana bread recipe, the facebook rants and raves page, and just general tongue in cheek fun. It was awhile ago but still hilarious. If you know, you know. This is a version of the banana bread that I had in the Monorail Cafe many decades…

Double Dark Brownies
When life gets crazy, make brownies. Life around here has definitely been crazy, you might have noticed the absence of posts. Well, to comfort myself I made a fudgy style of brownie and felt I should definitely share. Accept my chocolatey, tasty, less than guilty apology? Wait till you see the secret ingredient…don’t let it…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know, everyone has a chocolate chip cookie recipe. I keep getting asked how it is I make mine so healthy without sacrificing tasty classic flavour. It really is my go to cookie, I’ve made them quickly before we settle in to watch a movie, takes me less than 5 minutes. I never buy premade…
Cherry Molasses Cookie Bars

Apple Cinnamon Bites
These are sort of like bite sized coffee cakes. They have that oh so tasty swirl of brown sugar and cinnamon. Yes, I am totally in love with my little mini cupcake pan. Adorable food is the way to go. You feel like you are totally indulging because you can have three instead of just…
Fruity Oaty Bars
A friend of ours in the vampire campaign my wife is running has started a new diet called the GI diet or Glycemic Index diet. Makes me do a happy dance really since cooking for one vegetarian player and one Atkins diet player was proving troublesome. This is so much easier. So, I have learned…
Hardcore Hobbit: Hornblower’s Pie
Holly Hornblower certainly does make one tasty pie. In the game she uses that fabulous pie crust and blueberry pie filling. Blueberry pie filling takes honey and blueberries.
