Onion-Poppy Seed Bialys
This is not a bagel, it’s a bialy. It’s like a distant cousin of the bagel. Unlike a bagel that’s boiled then baked, a bialy is just baked. It is similar in size and shape to a bagel, it has a depression in the middle instead of a hole. Also bialys are not as chewy…
Read MoreBanana Pumpkin Loaf
Breaking up the matzo consumption with a banana pumpkin breakfast loaf that’s Passover friendly. After one slice of this super moist and very flavourful cake, you might even forget it’s Passover. The recipe calls for a combination of almond and coconut flour. Also there was baking powder in the ingredient list, which I omitted as…
Read MoreGreen Olive Za’atar Focaccia
Perfectly soft and fluffy. Light as air. Satisfyingly chewy. Studded with sliced cerignola olives and topped with za’atar. Oh and it’s the extra virgin olive oil that makes focaccia taste so unbelievably delicious. I just want to get lost in those airy pockets. I think … no, I know that this is one of the…
Read MoreHoney Pumpkin Pull Apart Rolls
I love the way these soft and flavourful honey pumpkin pull-apart rolls puffed up and baked so golden. Each one is topped with different seeds, so it’s important to taste them all. They were inspired by my friend Diane Morrisey who got the recipe from Taste of Home. The recipe calls for mashed winter squash,…
Read MoreCaramel Apple Pull-Apart Bread
On a recent grocery delivery I received one of those biscuit dough tubes (which I didn’t order). This seems to happen fairly often with my online grocery orders. I’m sure you’ve had that experience in the past year. It’s certainly been interesting having someone else do my grocery shopping. I really appreciate the service that my…

Cranberry Orange Scones are loaded with vibrant orange flavour, chewy dried cranberries, and topped with a sweet orange glaze. They are one of my favourite scone recipes to make during the holiday season. This is a truly great scone recipe – thanks Ina! They turned out so flaky, flavourful and moist.

Read MoreParmesan Pretzel Knots
This is a classic pretzel dough recipe, loaded with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. I can’t wait to dip one in a melty cheese sauce. For those cheese sauce haters, there’s also warm Marinara sauce. Recipe by What’s Gaby Cooking.
Read MorePeach Pull-Apart Bread
I’m still on my peach journey. I’ve been looking for more peach baking inspiration and to my delight I came across Laura’s Peach Pull-Apart Bread. It’s so more-ish, lick your fingers sticky and good for sharing but once you’ve had a taste, you may not want to.
Read MoreBobba’s Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
Handwritten recipe cards that are passed down from generation to generation very often show the love that went into those recipes with stains and the wear and tear of them. For me nothing beats a tried and true old-fashioned recipe like this one that’s been handed down from my Grandmother who I called Bobba, which…
