This is a Christmas cookie staples in our house. My husband will eat the entire batch in a hour if I left him unsupervised with them. He begs me on a weekly basis to make them! I’ve played around with this recipe over the years to perfect them with my oven and so many of you were asking to share the recipe. I cannot take ANY credit for this gem, as my mom has been making them for years and she’s the magic behind the perfect gingersnap!

This recipe is my all time favourite. I totally cheat and use my bread machine to make these. Because honestly, it’s so dang easy and convenient to use. You can totally make this recipe if you don’t have a bread machine. Just find the perfect dough recipe and skip steps 1 through 4.

I've never been a huge fan of Meringues but than someone changed my life and told my to put them in my coffee or tea in the mornings. That was a life changer for me, and I've been a fan every since. They are so creamy and delicious. The perfect amount of crunch and sweetness. This morning while I was laying in bed, I had a wonderful idea to make a traditional meringue cookie sprinkled with peppermint crushed candy canes on top. They are everything I hoped for and more. So simple to make and they wrap up nicely to give as gifts this season.

With Christmas right around the corner, I decided to start doing weekly blog posts to share different recipes of my favourite Christmas baking. I always have friends and family asking me to share recipes with them so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to do so! I'm going to start with my absolute favourite recipe that reminds me so much of my childhood. My Grandpa Weston's Gingerbread Cookie recipe. Every time I think of Christmas as a child, this is the first thing I think of. Going to my grandma and grandpa's house and filling our bellies with these delicious cookies. Always decorated so cute and they never changed year after year.

I posted a picture of my homemade pop tarts I made this morning on my instagram stories and had so many people requesting the recipe. So here it is folks. Homemade Pop tarts. They are easy, delicious and better than the real deal store bought ones.

I ate two pop tarts a day for nine months when I was pregnant with my youngest boy. I was so sick of them, but craved them every day. I never thought I would look at another pop tart again, let alone eat one. But I decided to give them a shot. Safe to say – I still love them and will be making them again.

I used a refrigerated pie crust that I bought at the store, because well – time. But if you are feeling extra ambitious, you can certainly make your own crust. You can use whatever jam you want, but I’m biased to strawberry and raspberry jam and that’s what I had at home!

With Easter right around the corner and most of us are at home, I figured I would start sharing some recipes if anyone wanted to get their bake on! These are super simple and quick to make. The perfect mix of chocolate and mini eggs all bundled into a soft cookie. I love eating them fresh out of the oven when they are still warm. But how many cookies can a girl eat? So store them in a airtight container and they will be perfect in the days to come!

This is my absolute favourite Christmas treat that I started making a few years ago after a co-worker brought a bag of her homemade Almond Roca to work. I think I ate the entire bag myself. She gave me the recipe but I could never perfect it. I tried for a few years and wasted several pounds of butter in my attempt. So I went in search of my own recipe. I found a similar recipe to this on Suburban Simplicity. This one has been fool proof for me so far, but make sure you have no distractions around you when making it (example; kids or husbands). The temperature of the candy has to be precise or it will not set up as desired. I didn’t know I was an Almond Roca lover until a few years ago – now I’m hooked and its a Christmas staple in our house.
