Homemade Mincemeat
The warm, spiced scent of homemade mincemeat spreading through the kitchen is one of those evocative smells of Christmas baking. Living in the US, mincemeat isn’t always easy to find in the shops. And if you do, there certainly isn’t…
Crunch & Crumble Bars
It’s definitely Fall here in New England. The leaves are turning a beautiful range of autumnal colors, we’ve continued our family tradition of going apple picking at a local orchard and we’ve been baking appropriate treats like these Crunch &…
No-Bake Peanut Crunch
The Traybakes Family has returned from vacation and while recovering from jet lag, we’re still getting over the fact that the weather at home was (almost!) as warm as the weather we get in the summer here in Massachusetts! So,…
Butterscotch Squares Traybake

Yum Yum Cakes
This was a new traybake for me, but at the same time there is something familiar about it. Perhaps I have eaten it in the past or maybe it’s just the combination of ingredients. Or maybe the meringue layer made…
Apollo Brownies
Another unusually named traybake. It may be named after the son of Zeus, it may be named after the NASA space missions, it may even be named after the Battlestar Galactica character. Who knows?! (Seriously, if anyone does know, I’d be interested to…
