The Annual Calgary Food Bloggers Bake Sale is returning for its 4th year.  This year it will be held on Saturday, November 29 from 10 am - 4 pm at the Calgary Farmer's Market.  All proceeds will go towards supporting Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids (BB4CK).   If you live in the Calgary area, please come out and support a good cause and enjoy the delicious baked goodies made by Calgary Food Bloggers, including yours truly.  Here is a little description about Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids:
Sticky toffee pudding is my all-time favourite dessert.  We've had our fair share of sticky toffee puddings over the years and I was thrilled to find a recipe for it in Jamie Oliver's latest cookbook, Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food.  I decided to give it a try and see how it would turn out and was impressed with the results.  The soft cake once drizzled with the decadent toffee sauce, gives it the perfect pudding texture.  This recipe is definitely for a special occasion or the holiday season as it doesn't skimp on the ingredients that make it so delicious.
There are some purists that say a perfectly seasoned and grilled steak needs no sauce. I on the other hand think that the right condiment can really enhance and compliment the flavour of your meat. A great example is the Argentinian chimichurri sauce made from parsley, garlic, vinegar and olive oil. My version uses fresh cilantro, lemon instead of vinegar and a touch of honey for a sweet, tangy and herbaceous sauce.

There is nothing simpler and easier to make for dessert than these one bite brownies.  These mini brownies make it easy to enjoy a sweet treat after a meal without the guilt.  Just be careful, as these delicious treats make it hard to stop at just one!  The chocolate I use is Lindt's Intense Cranberry Dark Chocolate bar, which is tasty on its own and easy to use in baking.
