Coffee-Time Treats
Easy Multi-Grain Bread
Maybe you have been too nervous to try bread before, but believe me, this is a good one to start with. It is quick and easy, only needs to be kneaded once, rises once and doesn’t require any special pans or techniques. I modified it from an old Fleischmann’s Yeast recipe booklet that my mom had…
Read MoreMocha Chocolate Layer Cake
I can’t recall where I found this recipe, but if I remember correctly, I think it was touted as a low calorie cake that you could indulge in without guilt. I wasn’t overly interested in reducing calories because that usually meant it tasted a bit off, so I just used regular ingredients instead of the…
Read MoreHot Cross Buns
Easter is literally just around the corner but I wanted to share this tasty bun recipe just in case you wanted to add a last-minute treat to your weekend. This does take a few hours to complete due to the rising steps, but I find that the actual work to make these is really not…
Read MoreClassic Rice Krispie Squares
Do you ever feel nostalgic? Like you’d like to travel back in time and revisit the care-free days of your youth? When I get a desire to “taste” my childhood, I make these classic Rice Krispie squares. They are simple, fast and so chewy when you eat them. And they are one of the few…

Disclaimer: I take no credit for this recipe. I am sharing it with you because it is just so tasty, that I want you to have a chance to try it too. I had never tried making whoopie pies before. I’m not sure why not. perhaps I didn’t want to go through all the steps?…
Read MoreChocolate Marble Cookies
Today I pulled out an old cookbook that I purchased many years ago but hadn’t looked at for ages. As I browsed through the pictures and recipes, I was surprised by how many of the recipes I had actually tried. I believe that it is also the first recipe book where I made notes for nearly every…
Read MoreBanana Split Squares
Here is a dessert that seems perfect for the spring. It is light-tasing with bananas, pineapple, pudding, whipped cream and cream cheese layers. This does require at least 5 hours in the fridge after you make it but I usually leave it overnight so it’s ready to go the next day. By that time, the…
Read MoreNanaimo Bars
What an odd name. Why exactly are such delicious treats named after an costal town in British Columbia, I wonder? Apparently, there are a lot of different opinions and legends, but it would seem the general public agree that regardless of their origin, Nanaimo, BC is the best place to find these treats. If you would…
Read MoreTransform Your Never Fail Brownies
You may have already made the Never Fail Brownies recipe that we featured last year, but I am guessing you didn’t know how versatile they can be. I have been working on this PDF cookbook for some time now (you can only eat so many brownies at one time without gaining way too much weight!) and…
Read MoreCarrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
This week I enjoyed a “muffin morning” with my Bible study group. (This is a time once a month when we set aside a special time to socialize and eat before digging into our study.) I brought some carrot cake mini muffins that I made, and since a few ladies asked for the recipe, I…
