Apparently I've been on a brownie kick lately! With my recipe for Brownie Chunks and then this delightful Coffee Brownie Cheesecake, it's obvious what my latest obsession is. For good reason though, as this amazing brownie recipe is so wonderfully chewy and fudge-like. Plus very simple and quick to put together!

I have an amazing recipe for some delicious mini jam pies coming soon! Flakey pastry, jam filling, and vanilla frosting drizzled on top. Incredible! Also, the recipe for soft and fluffy white chocolate and raspberry muffins is going to be posted in the next few weeks. Other than that, I'm working on a recipe for perfect lemon cupcakes. My goal is light and fluffy cupcakes flavoured with plenty of lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and some pure lemon extract. With vanilla buttercream on top!
