Nutella Swirled Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes in life, we make big deals out of small things. Small deals get blown out of proportion and turned into super big issues. Sometimes, it’s when you’re fighting with someone (typically a partner), and the smallest issue turns into a three day fight. All I’ll say about that is how. freaking. boring. Sometimes, it’s when you’re stressing out about a potential problem, something that could possibly happen, a “what … Continue reading →


Easy Nutella Brownie Oreo Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting

So let’s talk about culinary school. It’s pretty awesome. And I kind of love it. We have lots of different classes, each of which run for a term. There has been cakes, pastries, bread, basic cooking, restaurant classes, hot and cold desserts, yeast goods, petit fours and more. I absolutely loved hot and cold desserts, and pastries, and yeast goods. Basically I love the classes in which we make great … Continue reading →


Easy Nutella Cookies

So I’m really sorry for the recent slow down in my posts. It’s not that I haven’t been baking, necessarily, but more that I seem lost for words. Life the last several weeks has been busy, and when I sit down to write a post, the words just don’t seem to want come out. And I don’t have the time to wait for them, so I close my laptop and … Continue reading →


Brownie Cupcakes with Chocolate Hazelnut Frosting

Cupcakes. I made these a couple of weeks ago. I was feeling like I hadn’t baked anything in ages. And when I did bake, it was a failure (like forgetting half the flour in the filling for a chocolate chip cookie pie. How does that even happen?).  Or it was something I had already made before and couldn’t really blog about again, like these cookies. So it was time to … Continue reading →


Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies

Kingston biscuits. They are an Australian biscuit, an oaty, buttery sandwich cookie with a delicious, creamy milk chocolate filling in the middle. They are yummy, but I try really hard not to buy packet biscuits, what with all the additives and preservatives, when I can easily bake up some cookies myself. So when I saw a recipe for a homemade version of Kingstons, I jumped all over it. And they … Continue reading →


Mini Nutella Brownies with Berry Filling

I am so sorry for not posting for so long! I was computerless in Europe and it is super hard trying to blog from an iPhone! I just arrived back home not long ago and thought I’d share the last of my European Instagram photo posts with you before getting back into the normal swing of things. When I made these little babies, I was in Poland, hanging out with … Continue reading →


Brownie Espresso Icebox Layer Cake with Nutella Frosting

I started this little blog a year ago tomorrow! Whoo! I honestly cannot believe it. I have to post this a day early, because during my blog’s actual birthday tomorrow, I will be flying somewhere over Europe. June 17th, 2011 this blog was born, with my first post about a Devil’s Food Cake I baked for my brother’s birthday. That is a post I will certainly not be linking you … Continue reading →


Nutella Chip Biscoff Blondies with Nutella Ganache Frosting

So. For a long time I was on the hunt for some sort, any sort, of Biscoff. I had heard so much about the cookies, about the spread, and about people flying with Delta Airlines just to eat some of this goodness. I knew there was Speculoos and Biscoff and Cookie Butter, and I just wanted any version of anything I could get my hands on. Getting my hands on … Continue reading →


Homemade Nutella Chips

Nutella! I’m obsessed with it, so when I saw this recipe I jumped all over it. I thought it would be good to have in the Basics section, and then I made some Biscoff blondies using these Nutella chips that are coming soon! But you can use these chips in anything! Cookies, brownies, stirred into cakes, in pies, mixed into vanilla ice cream, on top of frosted bars, straight out … Continue reading →


Salted Caramel Nutella Brownie Bites

I think for a long time, I was searching for a recipe for the ultimate brownies. I found it, and a couple of other great brownie recipes along the way, but I think the whole time my favourite brownies were sitting right under my nose. These. I love them so much, I have made at least 8 versions of them. Literally. You can even check them all out in my … Continue reading →
