S'mores Cookies

S'mores Cookies

A great twist to a classic cookie, by combining it with the flavours of a classic camping treat.

ingredients:

2.5 cups flour

11 tbsp butter

1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs

1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chunks
crushed graham crackers

1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 salt

directions:

1. In a bowl mix your dry ingredients together: flour, salt, baking soda, and set aside. In another bowl with an electric mixer, cream butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, and vanilla and mix until combined.

2. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and combine on low speed.

3. Once everything is mixed together, roll dough into balls. About the size of little meatballs.

4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. And place balls of the cookies dough out on a tray. About 1-2 inches apart depending on how big your balls are.

5. Cook for 5 minutes, and remove from oven. Then press marshmallows and chocolate chunks into the top of the cookies. Then bake for another 5-7 minutes.

Blueberry and Lemon Bread Pudding

Blueberry and Lemon Bread Pudding

I was gifted some ramekins for my birthday, so then I was able to make some individual sized bread puddings like how I always dreamed. I had some old hot dog buns from a camping trip I used, which surprisingly worked great, but you can use any bread product. The lemon zest complimented with the blueberries is what really makes it special.

ingredients:

old bread or hot dog buns
1 pint blueberries
2 eggs
2 cup almond milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp lemon zest

directions:

1. Cut bread or left over buns into chunks. About 1-2 inches wide. And then set aside.

2. Add 2 eggs, 2 cups of almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 cup sugar, and mix.

3. Fold in your blueberries, and your bread pieces until the bread is completely wet and is soaking up the mixture. Let the bread soak for 30 minutes.

4. Fill mixture into greased ramekins, and put in the oven at 350 F derees for 30 minutes, or until it feels firm in the centre.

Poached Pears with Caramel Sauce and Chopped Pistachios

I made the caramel sauce myself... super easy! The pears totally turned into a vehicle for the rest of the stuff... but oh well

Carrot Cake

An all time favourite! My siblings and I always requested this on our birthdays.
