RECIPE | Chocolate raisin buttermilk scones - perfect for a quick breakfast!

It's no surprise that scones are pretty heavy in fat because butter makes them so light anf fluffy but I found a relatively healthier version of a tasty chocolate chip buttermilk scone from Skinnytaste. I changed it a little to add some raisins to add a little more texture to the scone :)

EVENT | Getting chocolate-crazy at the Chocolate Tales Workshop in St. Lawrence Market

We have major soft spots for chocolate. Milk chocolate or white chocolate has always been both of our favourites, but with age comes sophistication of the palette we suppose as we've started to embrace dark chocolate as well. As simple as a chocolate bar may seem, there is actually a lot to learn before creating that perfect taste and texture.  Last weekend, we had the chance to explore the world of chocolate!

This past Sunday we tried out one of Chocolate Tales’ chocolate making class. They have workshops at many different locations such as (The St. Lawrence Market, The Mad Bean, Swansea Town Hall, and more). We headed over to the St. Lawrence market location. Each class runs for about 90 minutes give or take, but doors usually open 30 minutes before the class start. I would recommend getting there early so you can get a good seat and be able to sit with whoever you’re going with!

RECIPE | delicious chocolate chip cookies with a hint of walnuts!

I've been trying to bake healthy recently but sometimes a cookie just taste so much better when it's baked with butter! I decided to jump off the health wagon for a weekend and bake some delicious chocolate chip cookies!

Valentine's Day Special: Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  It's supposedly the most romantic day of the year, but let's be honest - we're really in it for the delicious treats, right?

This year, Clara and I have been scrambling to be crafty and put some sweets & thoughts into our Valentine gifts.  She came up with the great idea about treat jars (stay tuned for this post) and I suggested some yummy chocolate covered strawberries.

Again, this is a big deal for me, b/c unlike Clara, I'm not so good in the kitchen.

First step in making chocolate-covered strawberries? Buy the goods - strawberries, nuts, semi sweet milk chocolate, white chocolate, and I even go PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE chips!
