Six Pounds of Awesomeness
This cheesecake is ginormous!!! And delicious!! It was a bit more crumbly than I think cheesecake should be, but the flavour is there. I would also chop up the pecans more next time even though I did break them in half, they need to be smaller, especially on the middle layer! I might just use […]
Chocolate Cream Pie
Soooo very good and smooth!! From Hoosier Mama Pie Company!! I love this cookbook!!
One VERY Tall Cheesecake
It takes more cream cheese than any other recipe I’ve tried…. but honestly, it smells so amazing in the house right now, I have a feeling it’s going to be the family favourite! Ingredients For the Graham Cracker Crust: 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 5 tablespoons melted butter For […]
Farmhouse Buttermilk Cake
Greg called this ‘company cake’ which was a huge compliment to me.. and it’s true. This cake is super moist, not too sweet and the buttermilk gives it an amazing texture and taste. Very easy to make. I used my no. 10 Pioneer Woman cast iron skillet. At the end when I put the topping […]

Salted Caramel Sauce
This is very good and it was fun using a candy thermometer! Next time I’ll use a smaller pot as the thermometer didn’t touch the sauce! I had to tip the pot to get it all on one side to make it deeper! I WILL use a copper pot every time I make this as […]
Salted Caramel Apple Pear Pie
It was fun making this pie!! For me, it’s a two day event. I make the pie dough one day, put it in the fridge.. you could do the caramel ahead of time too, then just do the filling and put it together the next day. It all depends on your time. It is time […]
Caramel Creme Brûlée Pie
This is the fast version… it’s not really ‘real’ cream brûlée such as the one I made by Julia Child, but this was surprisingly GREAT. Word of caution, it’s rich!! Make sure you have something physical to do after you eat this!! It takes a long time to set. I think part of the problem […]
Maple Sugar & Cream Pie
Greg and I both looked at it when it came out of the oven and said, ‘it looks interesting!’ and it is! Next time I will not fully cook the pie crust as it has to bake for a further 45 minutes, and I will cut down on the cinnamon as I think it was […]
Salted Caramel & Apple Galette
So I burnt the sugar for the salted caramel drizzle!! I’m glad I tasted it before I added it here to the apple galette. Lesson learned, always taste… plus that’s the fun part, as long as you’re not tasting burnt sugar, that was seriously terrible!! I’m going to try this again with a cream cheese […]
Banana Cream Pie
It’s complicated!! HA! But I got through it and it’s a dreamy, creamy pie to eat. The crust tastes like a shortbread cookie with chocolate on it. I think it’s my favourite pie yet. That’s not whipped cream on top that is all banana cream filling! If you want the recipe, let me know!! I’m […]
Lynda’s Crumble Berry Cream Cheese Pie
If you look at enough pie recipes, you can piece together what you find to make one amazing pie! That’s what I did here to come up with this unique pie. Cream cheese on the bottom, blueberry and walnut streusel. It’s a bit crumby, but the taste is there!!! Delicious! Walnut Streusel (enough for one pie) […]
Banana Custard Pie
This is a VERY good pie. Greg said it’s the best yet! I’ll take that!! It’s as smooth as silk. The banana flavour is infused using this method of using a fork to pierce the bananas, sprinkle nutmeg over them and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Take it out, let it cool slightly, remove […]
Dutch Apple Pie with Sour Cream Custard
I was pretty mad when I was baking this pie and discovered the recipe (in a BOOK) had the wrong temperature stated in it!!??? How does that even happen? But now that I’ve eaten it, I’m simply MAD ABOUT THIS PIE!!!! It’s terrific. Somehow I managed to save it by re-baking it with the topping […]
Pear Pie & Salted Carmel Sauce
This amazing pie is from sallysbakingaddiction.com/caramel-pear-pie/ It’s REALLY good!! You need to do three things here, make the pie dough, put it in the fridge to chill, then make the carmel (It’s truly hard to stop licking it off your spoon or fingers) and once you have everything ready, get your pears ready. Make sure […]
Great Grandma Baxter’s Butter Tarts
The first time I made these, I put these in the oven feeling pretty proud of myself!! I told Greg soon he’d be smelling memories of home. When he’d come in after school, he could smell the butter tarts! His mom had already put them in the freezer. She couldn’t pull anything over on him. […]

Cinnamon Buns & Cream Cheese Frosting
****WARNING**** Don’t make these unless you’re having company… otherwise you’ll feel obligated to eat them all, and you will be as big as a bus!! I think I put too many in the skillet, they rose in a weird way, Greg calls them cinnamon mountain buns. I used a no. 12 Lodge skillet here. Next […]

Put a bit of blueberry jam in the bottom of each tart shell. Add blueberry mixture.. not too many!! Then a dollop of butter. Bake 375 for 30 […]
