The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie in the Whole World

This chocolate chip cookie is divine. That’s because the good folks over at America’s Test Kitchen have deconstructed and reconstructed what was likely already a perfect chocolate chip cookie and made it even better. How you ask?

Spiced Winter Lemonade

I’m obsessed with this spiced lemonade. It’s equally good hot with some whiskey as it is cold with gin or vodka. I’ve even had it without booze. And then I had an aha moment; this would taste really good with prosecco.

Cheesy Corn Muffins

These corn muffins are the result of pantry cleaning day in my household. My pre-Christmas baking intentions were overly ambitious; I have two bags of flour and a rather large container of sugar leftover. And I found the cornmeal I thought I had but couldn’t find – after I bought more.

Cornbread Stuffing with Roasted Yams and Pecans

Now that Christmas is on the horizon it’s time to post one of our family favourites: cornbread stuffing (or dressing if you please). When it’s Calgary’s turn to have us for Christmas, I usually make this stuffing.

This roasted potato salad is a nice alternative to typical potato salad. Roasting the potatoes elevates this salad and the fresh herbs and parmesan give it a bistro-style flair.

Spaghetti with Tomato Water, Basil and Garlic

How can you resist a plate of glistening pasta like this? The buttery tomato sauce wraps itself around the warm pasta like a big ol’ hug.
