Tahini Granola Cookie
Remember these from 8 weeks ago!! Well, you may have missed it, so here it is in print, and here to stay! I use tahini in a lot of my cooking. Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds –…
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Monkey Bread
I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately for this recipe specifically. It is a derivative of my Fast and Easy Cinnamon Buns. For those, I roll the dough out on the counter, fill it with the cinnamon pecan filling,…

Rhubarb Strawberry Galette
It finally feels like spring outside and spring means asparagus, fava beans and rhubarb! I love making a galette in general because it is a free-form non-perfectionist pie. It may not look as pretty as a perfectly manicured pie but…
Coconut Custard Macaroons
I love coconut macaroons, it is actually one of my favourite parts of the Passover holiday or shall I say the coconut holiday. I actually consider myself a bit of a coconut macaroon aficionado. For a while, I was on a…
