    Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies

    These Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies combine some really great and comforting flavours. There’s nothing better than the taste of peppermint during the holidays. It’s one of those tastes you either love or hate, I think. My kids for the longest time would say it’s too spicy, or too hot if I ever gave them peppermint. To this day only one has warmed to the notion of minty tastes and foods and baked goods. Did you know that peppermint actually dates back to the Egyptians?  It’s true. In fact, peppermint was found dried in Egyptian pyramids as early as 1000 BC. Peppermint was then brought here and grows wild. There…

    Pumpkin Treats Almost Too Good To Share

    I was an adult before I grew into my love for all things pumpkin. As a kid, pumpkin never appealed to me as a food, or a flavour. It was fun to carve and sometimes a treat to make pumpkin crafts, but I would never have eaten pumpkin treats.  Adulthood has some benefits and thankfully tastebuds mature sometimes. Even if you all like different things in your family, that’s okay, because some things are too good to be shared – like these pumpkin treats This roundup of beautiful pumpkin treats knocks my socks off. I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together Cranberries and Pumpkin. But these cranberry pumpkin muffins…
