Hey, This week's recipe is one of our favourite desserts: Canadian Whisky Brownies. These decadent, fudgy brownies use Canadian Whisky in both the brownie and the icing. (If you don't have Canadian Whisky on hand, you can use Bourbon instead. We've tried it and it is just as delicious.) Canadian Whisky Brownies We usually have to make a double batch of these brownies because they disappear so fast.

Happy Thanksgiving to our fellow Canadians! Here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving a little earlier than in the US. We celebrate before the snow falls and the real cold hits.

And if you are still planning your menu, or if you need ideas for November's US Thanksgiving, we have you covered with all...

Apple picking with the family is scheduled and we are looking forward to creating new apple recipes with the bushels of apples we plan on picking this year. We are currently working on adding many of our fall favourite...

It's that time of year! BBQ season is in full force and we've been busy creating recipes for the BBQ, Smoker and Blackstone. For us BBQ never ends.

We will be cooking and baking outside throughout the summer and sharing our recipes twice a week on BBQ and Baking. We are also working on side dishes and easy desserts for the summer. And we have a few cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks as...
