Raspberry Streusel Bars
Streusel is German for “sprinkle”. Unusually, the streusel topping for this delectable raspberry bar is the same mixture as the pastry base of the bar.

Mini Raspberry Pain au Chocolat
As flaky and rich as anything you can buy at the finest patisserie. Mini pastries give you portion control- if you can stop at just one!
-
Hearty Mushroom Barley Pilaf
Barley is high in fibre and low on the glycemic index, making it a great substitute for the usual white rice used in pilaf. Try this side dish with a roast instead of potatoes or rice.

Melt in Your Mouth Shortbread Cookies
This fabulously tender shortbread is made in the food processor to ease preparation; be careful though as over processing dough will cause the dough to become greasy and the butter will melt out as they bake.
-
Mincemeat Pinwheel Cookies
Pinwheel cookies are a Christmas classic. This version uses pre-rolled puff pastry as the dough, and seasonal mincemeat as the filling. Much easier than the traditional version with two colours of home-made cookie dough stacked and rolled.
-
Chocolate Cherry Brownie Cookies
Melted chocolate makes this drop cookie extra delicious. Look for dried cherries in the bulk area of the grocery store.
-
Raspberry Crumble Bars
Be kind to the environment and feel good about dessert with this easy bar made with organic ingredients. Crunchy, fruity, buttery and nutty- something for everyone.
-
Cream Cheese Brownie Cupcakes
Enjoy the best of both worlds with this delectable brownie cupcake! Never cook any brownie until the tester comes out clean, or they will be dry- the tester should still be moist or even have a few crumbs clinging to it.
-
Ginger Spice Chocolate Chip Cake
Yogurt makes this quick snacking cake moist. Like most gingerbread, this one tastes better the next day.
