Rose Murray's Raspberry Nanaimo Bars
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Not only is the origin of Nanaimo Bars a hot topic of debate, the bars themselves are still hot as a favourite Canadian treat. Since the 1950's, endless variations have included Minted, Grand Marnier, Cherry, Pina Colada, Mocha, Peanut Butter and Orange. I have not seen a Raspberry Nanaimo Bar, and found that raspberry liqueur added a touch of elegance to this familiar three-layered bar cookie.

Monster Cookies
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
A few years ago we published a recipe courtesy of our customer Kathy (Nova Scotia Oatmeal Cookies). It's become one of our favourite oatmeal cookies so we decided to revisit the recipe and add a special Halloween twist. These cookies have a bumpy texture and subtle peanut butter flavour. We sometimes like to add healthy stuff like 2 tbsp of ground flax and hemp seeds to the batter. Whether you make them with the "healthy stuff" or not, all your trick-or-treaters will be sure to gobble them up!

Donna-Marie spent an afternoon blueberry picking at Berrylicious Farm near Woodstock, Ontario. While she will freeze most of them, this blueberry sauce will be on the breakfast menu in the coming days!
Anna Olson's Fresh Strawberry Hibiscus Pie
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This fruit pie is all about fresh, ripe strawberries. Here they are paired with floral and tart hibiscus and topped with Chantilly cream. The acidity of the hibiscus complements the berries’ sweetness, and this is now a new summer classic for me.
