Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting is one of those addicting kind of cakes, you just want more. I absolutely love anything made with pumpkin. I first tried this cake when I was 14 and I loved it since.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Surprised my family this past weekend with these scrumptious pumpkin cinnamon roll pancakes! I actually wanted to make cinnamon rolls, but just didn’t have to the time to wait for the dough to rise…so I made these instead. I used the same recipe for my regular pumpkin pancakes, just added the cinnamon swirl part to it, you can make them plain if you like.
For the icing I made it a bit runny so that it had the consistency of a syrup, you can make it thicker if you like…that is up to you! It was a hit with all, even my mom love them! I actually added the icing in the middle, and folded it up like a taco…I was so hungry and didn’t have the patience to cut into it;) It really was yummy!
I was worried that the sugar would stick to the bottom, but it didn’t! I think its because the pan was hot and I lightly greased it every time I made a pancake.

Peach Cookies – Pjeshke
Peach or Pjeshke in Albanian these cookies are popular in Italy and other south European countries in the Mediterranean such as Albania, Macedonia, and Croatia, they are made on religious holidays, weddings and special occasions.
They are a labour of love that’s for sure, if you plan to make them, prepare your day accordingly as they do take time to make. If you can get someone to assist you with making them that’s even better:)

Revani – Semolina Cake
Out of all the traditional Albanian or Turkish desserts I have to say revani is my favourite! I guess you can say I go through my stages of favourites, but at this point its revani…I especially love when its moist and spongy! I have two other recipes posted on here, they are for the most part the same. This one has a lemony flavour to it where as the other I add coconut and I use organic corn meal. This one is made with semolina again the corn meal and semolina is interchangeable you may use either. Will share the links for the two other recipes below. …
Peach Trifle
Sweet summer Ontario peaches are in season and I am loving it! Made peach jam this week and this delicious trifle, it’s so easy to make and tastes great! The freshness of the jam makes it extra special!…
Watermelon Fruit Cake
In need of a healthy and refreshing summer dessert? Look no further, here it is…watermelon cake! I have been seeing this watermelon cake being shared on Pinterest for a while now, and thought what a cool idea! My cake isn’t as large as the ones I have seen, I actually didn’t have the intention to make it, it all came about as I am really bad at cutting watermelon in perfect triangles, even my squares never turn out good! It wasn’t such a big watermelon so it was kinda easy to cut into. …
Strawberry Turnovers
Woke up early one Saturday morning, to surprise my family with these yummy and easy to make strawberry turnovers! I was able to make 8 turnovers with the 2 rolls that came in the pkg of puff pastry. Depending on what kind of puff pastry you buy, some just come in a big block and you must roll out yourself and others are pre-rolled. I used the pre-rolled out ones. …
Cherry Filling for Chocolate Cake
Shared this on Facebook last night, I wasn’t planning on making this a blog post…but I realized not everyone follows me on Facebook, I don’t want anyone missing out on this yummy recipe. It all started last night when my mom asked for a black forest cake.
Thing is my mom doesn’t even like cake! One of those cravings I guess…I had a bunch of cherries left in the fridge that no one was eating, so we took the pits out and made them into a delicious topping for the chocolate cake I baked!…
Butter Tarts – Canada’s Dessert!
Butter tarts are thee Canadian dessert! I have been looking for a really good recipe for this tart for so long, I finally found it! The filling is amazing and the crust is tender and light. My kids didn’t believe I made them…they were that good. You can add pecans, walnuts, raisins or chocolate or leave them plain. I made half of them with raisins and the other half with pecans, both our favourites….
