Perfect chocolate chip cookies made America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe. Tons of coffee flavour, and perfectly chewy in the middle.

Summer Kick-off Strawberry Cobbler

Summer is here which means it’s strawberry time! I can’t wait for local strawberries to show up at the markets. In the mean time I guess the giant, rock hard ones at the supermarket will have to make do.

I didn’t use any particular recipe for this. It’s basically just sugared strawberries with a splash of lemon juice, and a basic galette pie crust on top. It turned out alright I guess…perhaps next time I will pre-cook the strawberries for a thicker, syrupy filling.

Light Brioche Burger Buns

To celebrate Victoria Day (for giving us an extra long weekend), I made some fresh hamburger buns using the recipe on Smitten Kitchen. They turned out splendidly and all I had to do was to ask a certain someone to grill up some hamburgers and dinner was served! The burger buns were light, super fluffy with just a hint of sweetness. It was heaven. Highly recommended. If you serve these at your next summer bbq party everyone will think you are a domestic goddess, guaranteed!
