Maple walnut ice cream is a Canadian favorite! This sweet ice cream actually stays soft even after a week.

This chocolate pecan pie is made just like a traditional pecan pie, with the addition of chocolate chips. As the pie bakes, the chips melt, adding rich, chocolaty flavor in every bite. It's always the first dessert to go at our family's Thanksgiving!

I find nothing more satisfying than recreating the unique breads of Latin America in my own kitchen. I especially love when the bread is meant to be stuffed with savory fillings and drowned in spicy salsa — in Mexico, the torta ahogada is just that. Birote (pronounced bee-row-teh) is a crunchy, darkly baked sourdough bread said to have a flavor unique to the environment of Guadalajara, but if you grab your favorite beer and some limes, you'll come pretty close!

These thumbprint cookies are filled with raspberry jam and drizzled with a sweet glaze. They look so pretty on a cookie tray and taste delicious!

This is the best carrot cake recipe I have ever made! It's so moist and flavorful and makes a large quantity of cake. Since I started making it, I have been hounded to make this cake time and time again. Frost with cream cheese frosting.

This tender quick bread has a lightly crunchy crust and is perfect with a cup of tea.
