Chocolate Oatmeal Drop Cookies

It’s finally hot here in Montreal after weeks of everyone complaining about the weather being too cold. And I spent all morning outside in the sun watching my kids play in the pool so, needless to say, I don’t want to be turning on the oven today unless absolutely necessary. […]

Chewy Lemon Butter Bars

Perfect little lemon bars with a shortbread cookie crust, chewy lemony filling and topped with a sweet glaze. I made these a couple days ago and they turned out almost perfect! I had to adjust my original recipe a tiny bit just to make them a bit less tangy and […]
