Peanut Butter Blondies with Milk Chocolate Frosting
the blondies
Recently, Andre and I attended a games night with some friends. This games night was pot-luck style – one of my favorites! I can honestly say when I was first told about the games night, I immediately began to brainstorm about potential desserts. I decided on peanut blondies with frosting. These peanut butter blondies are delicious. The blondie is dense and packed with brown sugar and peanut butter flavor, and the milk chocolate frosting is the perfect finishing touch. Why not indulge a little with these brownies and a tall glass of milk.

Vanilla buttermilk icing recipe included!
A couple friends and I were planning a surprise bridal shower for a friend of ours. One thing I love about showers, actually any type of gathering, is deciding what will comprise the food selection.

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
When you think of Banana Bread, you automatically assume that this is one of the simplest baking recipes a baker could tackle, right? Sadly, I must admit that many, and I mean many, of my Banana Bread attempts have been a disaster – until today. I was skimming through the Tastespotting website and found a collection of banana bread recipes. I thought that it was about time I master the art of baking Banana Bread. Let me tell you that today, I was a success story. I had redeemed myself as a baker because my Banana Bread turned out wonderfully moist and delicious! Read on for the wonderful recipe.

Caribbean Pineapple Salsa
We recently had a Caribbean cookout, as some might say ‘Bachannal’, the weather was hot and the drinks were cold: Perfect for a caribbean day full of food! This salsa originally called for habanero peppers, a full cup of them, but their rarity in Southern Ontario made it rather difficult to find, so I used hot yellow peppers. (Recipe adapted from 28 cooks). Add the sweetness of the pineapple and you’ve got a medium spicy salsa that is addictive!
