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 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…

What an odd name. Why exactly are such delicious treats named after an costal town in British Columbia, I wonder?

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…
Read MoreGingerbread Coffee Cake
Here is a simple but tasty coffee cake that is way easier than you might think. I don’t recall where this recipe came from, but it makes me think of a 1950s housewife sitting down with her next-door neighbour to enjoy a coffee-time treat before the kids come back from school. It has an unfussy, quick to…
