Spring is finally here! Yes, I know it’s almost June but hey, we live in Canada and here the Winter lasts for six months, and that’s if you are lucky! Thank God we picked Toronto and not Iqaluit when we decided to move to Canada! Even so we escaped the cold weather over the past […]
Easy Cream Cheese Berry Butterfly Tarts
These Cream Cheese Berry Butterfly Tarts are the easiest and cutest dessert you can make this Spring! You only need 5 simple ingredients and a butterfly cookie cutter to make them. I told you before that I have a crazy collection of cookie cutters (about 200!) and I don’t really bake cookies that often but, […]
Banana Blueberry Parfait
I’m the type of person who walks into a Starbucks and orders a grande sugar-free non-fat half-soy organic-chocolate extra-hot white chocolate mocha. Yeah, not really : )! I’m not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy their yogurt-berry parfaits. I was craving one the other day and had some frozen blueberries around so I decided […]
Egg Easter Bunny Face
I officially own over 200 cookie cutters in all shapes possible, yeah call me crazy! I don’t make cookies very often though; I’m more of a cake person – just check out the Surprise Bunny Inside a Carrot Cake Cheesecake I made just recently where I actually used a cookie cutter! So this morning while […]

Homemade Chocolate Bars
If there is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood (in the late ‘80s) is the one for Homemade Chocolate Bars (Ciocolata de Casa). Our parents had to line up for hours to get basic food items such as milk, eggs and bread and sometimes the stores would run out of them before they […]
Carrot Made out of Cupcakes for Easter
These Carrot Cupcakes are an easy dessert idea for Easter! Making and decorating them could be a fun and exciting activity with your kids. Since it’s a carrot made out of cupcakes I thought carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting would work the best. Grab a bunch of fresh carrots with leaves and a […]
Easy Rose Cupcake Bouquet in a Pot
I made this Rose Cupcake Bouquet in a Pot for our friends’ farewell party but it would be great to offer as a gift on Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day or even to use it as a centerpiece at a wedding or similar event. It’s super easy to make and you really don’t need to be […]
Egg Mushrooms
I can’t believe my baby is almost 7 months old now, why does time fly by so fast! He’s eating solids like a champ now and just started with the egg yolks last week. So since I have to boil eggs for him, I thought why not get creative a bit and add these Egg […]
