It’s become a Christmas tradition for the Hubby and I to cozy up on the couch and watch Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Christmas. Seriously, just try to watch that show and not drool an excessive amount. It’s impossible! First of all, his amazing kitchen alone makes me drool – then add in the food he makes?! Drool-o-rama!

Bananas Foster. Probably my most favourite dessert…ever. I know, that’s quite the claim. Of all the desserts out there though, Bananas Foster is like the creme de la creme for me! The first time I had it was at the Jasper Park Lodge years ago, and I was sold. It’s my Dad’s favourite too. So…

Gingerbread Graham Crumble Bars
So this past weekend, winter came. Official, white snow, icy roads, so-cold-you-need-a-parka, winter. I have to admit it makes me a little sad – I’m not a fan of the cold, but it also makes me a little happy too because it’s kind of beautiful and nostalgic at the same time. This is because, well,

Brazil Nut, Orange & Chocolate Fudge Cups
I developed a love for Brazil Nuts this summer. I already loved nuts of all kinds – almonds, hazelnuts, cashews… love them, but Brazil Nuts, I’ve just never had a lot of in the past. Every now and then I’d get a few in a trail mix, but they always seemed to skimp on them!
