My favorite season all year is by far Summer time, I love the heat, I will sprawl myself accross a hot rock and absorb the sun like a lizard and I will love every minute of it. Inevitably the end of summer always approaches and I get tense and dread the tought of fall, I…

White Chocolate, Toffee & Pretzel Cookies
So when I was working as a Corporate Chef, I came up with a recipe for Peanut Butter, White Chocolate and Pretzel cookies, which are awesome! Unfortunately they are not school lunch friendly though so I had to make an adjustment and I thought toffee added a nice texture and depth of flavour. Don’t roll…
Coconut Almond Cookies
