It’s been 141 years since the Dominion of Canada first came into existence (although we didn’t achieve full independence from Britain until 1982.)

In honour of the day, here’s the link to a recipe for one the few distinctly Canadian foods: Nanaimo Bars. I made them a couple of days ago, and they’re very good, although I halved the recipe for the bottom layer and cut down on the milk and icing sugar in the second layer (to 1 tbsp and 1 cup, respectively.)

I haven’t been keeping up with my reviews lately, partly because of internet problems, but partly because I’ve been so busy the past few weeks. I may be behind with this blog, but along with the Nanaimo Bars, I tried what turned out to be the world’s best recipe for Coconut Cream Pie (along with a few alterations.)

I hope everyone’s having a great summer so far. I’m looking forward to catching up on everyone’s blogs this week!
