A truly decadent french toast stuffed with almonds and cream cheese. Talk about kicking it up a notch!

Pumpkin, cognac, cream cheese, sour cream and spices make this cheesecake creamy, smooth, rich and delicious. The toasted almonds adds extra nuttiness, and it also gives the cheesecake a beautiful coating on the outer edge. This is the kind of cheesecake that everyone gives a big "WOW".

The biscotti turned out delicious, by adding white chocolate really enhanced the depth of the flavor, and also gave the biscotti a softer and creamier texture, which also made these yummy biscotti highly additive. Almond and dried apricots added the rich nuttiness and sweet-sour juicy bites.

Both cherries and ricotta cheese give the muffins super moist texture, fruity and creamy flavor. Fresh or frozen cherries, either of them will work well.

These are lots of yummy ingredients in these biscotti, you can find them all in every single bite. Very chocolaty, toasted almonds add the nuttiness, and the orange zest goes deliciously well with chocolate. Enjoy these biscotti with a cup of coffee at any time.

This delicious and refreshing pasta salad is easy to put together, and it's best served after being chilled, perfect on a hot summer day!

Made these quiche tarts for Sean last week, and he absolutely loved these mini savoury tarts. I made my own biscuit baking mix (see the link below), and followed the recipe exactly. These tarts are good to freeze as well. Whenever feeling hungry, pop one or two into microwave. Definitely a keeper!

This quick and easy fried rice is very flavorful. The bell pepper, peas and carrots add some beautiful colors and crunchy texture into the fried rice, the Asian flavor from the sauce brings all the ingredients together and gives the fried rice tangy taste.

These pan-fried cakes are bursting with the oniony flavor of fresh snipped chives. Serve with sour cream and/or apple sauce.

Wow this was fabulous. The brie melts so beautifully inside the omelette. Super creamy with bits of salty chewy bacon and crunchy nuts created layers of textures. I used walnuts instead of pecans and served with orange wedges.

Moist and delicious apple butter scones are perfect for breakfast, or snack, or a side along with main dish. Serve the scones with extra apple butter spread on top.

Use some applesauce to replace butter, which makes these chocolaty cookies moist-like cake in the inside, and still chewy on the outside. Whole wheat flour adds some fibre, and white chocolate chips give extra creaminess.

Not your tradional "fudgy" brownies, they have the warm and rich cocoa taste and are more "cake-like."

The buttery crepes were soft and warm with caramelized brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top and juicy-tender apple slices inside coated with more brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. We served these yummy pancakes with maple syrup and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice, absolutely to die for!
