Rose Murray's Raspberry Nanaimo Bars

Not only is the origin of Nanaimo Bars a hot topic of debate, the bars themselves are still hot as a favourite Canadian treat. Since the 1950's, endless variations have included Minted, Grand Marnier, Cherry, Pina Colada, Mocha, Peanut Butter and Orange.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Birthday Cookies

That's why I'm often in the Relish kitchen baking up a batch of something addictive and appealing. Since it's my birthday on February 26 (and a significant one too), I am sharing a favourite cookie recipe with our Relish followers.
