Oh Scotland. Stunning landscapes of mountains and waterfalls, hearty bowls of homemade soup, castles, lochs, and legends.... you are a treasure.
Never before have I felt so at home somewhere so instantaneously. The Highlands especially, with their beauty and intriguing history, stole my heart. There was so much to see, taste, and explore, and the time we spent there was much too short.
Merry Christmas everyone!
This is the dessert I made for our Christmas lunch with family, and it was a huge hit! It is ridiculously easy, and something you can make way ahead of time.
And who doesn't love a cake shaped like a log? Right?
Read MoreI'm obsessed with painting ornaments apparently. It's just so easy and fun, and I love the handmade touch it adds to your tree! They also make such great gifts too. So if you need a super last minute, thoughtful gift, here ya go!
Read More'Tis the season for eggnog!
Story time: I don't even like eggnog! True fact.
But I knew it would make delicious ice cream....and it did! Oh man, it is so so creamy, and I think would make the best dessert for Christmas day.

You still get the chalkboard effect, without the nightmare of chalk smudging everywhere whenever you pick up the ornaments!
Read MoreIt's that time of year again where our house is filled with Christmas baking, our Christmas tree is standing proudly in our living room, and lights are strung up everywhere. I love how cozy our home feels, and now if it would just snow on Christmas eve that would be perfect. (It's snowed once here this year, halfheartedly, and then the weather remembered we're not like the rest of Canada and jumped back up to 15 degrees. Booya!)
Read MoreIt's tradition for my dad and I to go cut down our own Christmas year (here was last year's!), and this year was no exception. It was a chilly day, but the sun was shining, and we were happy to wander around a local Christmas tree farm until we found the perfect one.
Read MoreLemon and cranberry….a match made in heaven! I love how cute these sandwich cookies are, and the lemon icing filling really makes them irresistible. These lovelies are wonderful when paired with your afternoon tea, or they can make the perfect addition to a holiday dessert tray.
