A “Not Really Baking” Post
Wasn’t this long weekend picture perfect? We had three sunny, warm weekend days in a row. What did you get up to? I spent hours in the kitchen preparing this delectable dessert – NOT!! I didn’t even have to turn on the oven for this one. I used a purchased dark chocolate shell to hold […]
More from the children’s baking group
This month, our group of volunteers met again with our budding bakers to create some tasty treats. These kids have really improved over the course of our sessions and we have the pictures to prove it! This yummy morsel is a re-make of the traditional pineapple upside down cake. By turning it into a cupcake, […]
Spring Sponge
This is another delightful dessert that could easily be used for Mother’s Day. It’s moist sponge, layered with berries and whipped cream….no buttercream to fuss with and not too sweet…perfect, in my humble opinion! I used the Cake Boss’ recipe for the sponge cake and I was pleasantly surprised. You do have to spend some […]
Mother’s Day
This Sunday is a special day set aside to honour mothers. It’s the most important, and in my opinion one of the most difficult jobs around….and it lasts a lifetime with no retirement! The rewards, however, are unsurpassed. This Mother’s Day, we’re taking my Mom (and Dad) out. This recipe is something I would prepare […]
Guilt-free Indulgence
It was my parents’ anniversary this past weekend. They celebrated 55+ years of, as my Mom so eloquently put it, “putting up with each other”! We had them over for a quiet meal, but we needed to have something special for dessert. As with many seniors (and not seniors), fat and calories are on the […]
Raspberry Lemon Loaf
Before we begin today’s post, Sweet Times Two would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the families of those affected by the tragedy in Boston on Monday. My oldest daughter resides in this city. She loves Boston, has always felt safe and is very shaken by the senseless actions of those who heartlessly launched […]
A Healthy Cheesecake
This is one of my most used and requested recipes ever. In fact, the pages of my recipe book open to this recipe automatically. Of course, the sticky blobs of who-knows-what make this a no-brainer! There is NO cream cheese in this “cheesecake”, yet it satisfies my craving for this decadent dessert every time. With the […]
Blueberry Scones
As promised, spring baking has arrived in my kitchen. These blueberry scones were delicious and simple to prepare. Skim milk rather sour cream was used to add moisture. I liked the addition of almond flavouring instead of the lemon flavouring that I normally use. A cinnamon, brown sugar, butter topping made them really special. What are […]
Luck O’ the Irish
If we weren’t too old and disinterested in social media, I’m sure this picture would be posted all over facebook…but I saved it just for you! Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and our daughter arrived for a visit (to mooch dinner) with a bag full of seasonal goodies to humiliate her parents. She walked in the […]
Snowy Baking
It’s late February and winter is still going strong. I’m not a fan of winter, but I cannot deny the beauty of what Ol’ Man Winter created in my backyard this week. Everything was covered in a soft, white blanket of fluff. It was a serene and peaceful scene. I wanted to stay cocooned inside my warm […]
