These Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are wonderfully soft and chewy with a crispy edge. Sweet, salty, and completely irresistible! Toffee and chocolate together are just downright sinful, in a really good way. And, when you add a little flaky sea salt to to the mix it creates a flavor that requires that you go back in for more. When it comes to chocolate chip cookies I’m exceptionally picky. My family thinks I’ve lost my mind (once again) but I think most chocolate chip cookie recipes are boring, bland, and pretty much lifeless. I’m definitely more of a Chewy Chocolate Dipped Oatmeal Cookie kind of person. Enter these Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies. The addition of milk chocolate toffee bits adds a...
Do you remember how we used to let our imagination run free?

It is full of flavour with a crispy skin and so juicy on the inside. You can marinate it for an hour in the fridge or overnight if time allows, WOW, but...

Green chile-crusted flank steak with chimichurri, garlicky smashed potatoes, and Mexican street corn. When I enjoy a meal out at a restaurant, I often like to recreate it at home. Last week, Alexis and I went out to dinner with our older son, his girlfriend, and some friends at Point B on their opening day. We saw that they offered all sorts of boards (charcuterie and otherwise), so we were excited to try them out.There I got the steak with...
