banana oatmeal cookies

christinajbartlett — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 03:07:58 +0000

It’s been a jungle of change for us recently. Over the last few months we have packed up our lives, moved city, travelled to New Zealand (me), lived in a hotel for 6 weeks straight (Jesse), started new jobs, set up home from nothing, found new friends, attended (far too many) new churches, got new […]

lemon crinkle cookies

Crinkle cookies. They’re quite a thing on the blog world, especially around this time of year where cookie tins are being stuffed full as groups of women (I stereotype – do men do cookie exchanges?) gather to share and swap their favourite Christmas cookie. Soft on the inside with a crisp outer, crinkle cookies are […]

pomegranate white chocolate pistachio cookies

It’s almost time to think about Christmas. The neighbourhood we are living in has fully embraced the season, with late night festive shopping and decorations on the main street. Last night we bundled up and strolled down the snowlined street in Inglewood, where the local stores served wine and Christmas chocolates and displayed their Christmas […]

spiced apple cake cookie’wiches {with browned butter}

It seems Jesse and I complain an awful lot about being out of our comfort zone (Fresh veggies are so expensive! Our families are so far away! The midnight sun makes it hard to sleep!). We went through some early journal articles about our decision to leave New Zealand. Our main reasons for moving to […]

Let me tell you about Soma Cafe, the space in which I currently spend my workweek. I’ve been doing this cafe for close to 2 months now. The rose tinted glasses have gone, but it still brings great satisfaction. Cooking and baking in my own space with good background music – just like in my […]

carrot & oat cookies

The true cold of the northern winter was embraced by Norman Wells last week. Outside, with the wind chill, it was -50˚C. We joked about such temperatures before we moved here! And we laughed. We even laughed about the idea of losing gas heating during an extreme temperature drop, and having to be evacuated. Imagine […]

super rich chocolate temptations

christinajbartlett — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:18:32 +0000

As a food photographer, when an urge for a shoot arises, something must be baked. A childhood favourite – Super Rich Chocolate Temptations. Mama used to make these all the time, using craisins (dried cranberries) in place of raisins, and both dark and white chocolate. I definitely recommend using real chocolate. Those chocolate melts or […]

{kidney bean} marathon cookies

christinajbartlett — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 01:14:44 +0000

Heidi of 101 Cookbooks created these bean filled cookies for her husband to enjoy after finishing the San Fransisco marathon. I for one think associating cookies with running is a fine idea. Now I didn’t run a marathon, just the Norman Wells ‘Bearathon’, but I certainly thought cookies were in order. There were almost 200 […]

chocolate chip cookies {for my love}

christinajbartlett — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 02:27:33 +0000

Sometimes the best way to say I love you is through cookies. Fresh, chunky, chewy cookies, packed with bittersweet chocolate, scented with caramel from copious amounts of brown sugar and lightened with a spec or two of coconut, tucked into the suitcase during a quick reuniting between flights. Enjoy a cookie and a cup of […]

chocolate chunk {chickpea} cookie pie

christinajbartlett — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:49:01 +0000

Before leaving New Zealand, we were warned of the “northern 20″ – the tendency for ‘southerners’ to gain 20 pounds (10kg) when they move to such a small, isolated, cold community in the North. Although I would never describe Norman Wells as a small, isolated, cold community – at the moment it is drenched in […]
