Apple, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
I adore a good breakfast dish. Especially one that I can make the night before. One of my favourites is my cousin Chandra's Land of Nod Cinnamon Buns. If you haven't tried that one, add it to your must-try list, but right above that, pencil in this Apple, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole. It's just as good and the total package. This one will fill you up until lunch. It's savoury with just a hint of sweetness from the apples.

Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle
If I'm being honest here, my Mom's Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle is so much better than the stuff you buy in shops. Even the fancy candy shop versions don't hold a candle to my moms. It's airy, peanutty and best of all it's super easy. It takes maybe twenty minutes and a bit of freezing time and you've got a Christmas sweet that will be a total hit.

Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are a total classic. A recipe that always shows up at Christmas. Not that it's only good for the holidays. It's perfect all year round, but I'm feeling very holiday-ish at the moment. I'm not sure why, but this year I am so ready for all things Christmas! It's the beginning of November and I want to put up the stockings and literally deck the halls. Does this ring any bells for you?

Mrs. McBane’s Sugar Cookies
Mrs. McBane's Sugar Cookies are my favourite. I don’t know Mrs. McBane, but I imagine her to be a very a proper lady with a bit of a wild side. I could have this all wrong. She is a friend of my grandmas, or so I think. I'm not even sure of her first name, the colour of her hair, the names of her children, or even if she has children. What I do know is that she is incredibly generous to have shared this cookie recipe with my grandma.

Rutabaga and Apple Mash with Crumb Topping
This was my Grandma’s mainstay recipe at Christmas dinner. It didn’t matter what else was being served, it was a guarantee that this Rutabaga and Apple Mash with Crumb Topping would show up on the table, courtesy of my grandma. Because, it is my Grandmother’s cornerstone holiday side dish, it feels appropriate to share it now, just in time for Easter. Have you ever had rutabaga? It’s a root vegetable that’s basically a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. The original recipe is called turnips and apples, but after a little bit of research, I’m pretty sure we were using rutabaga…
