Crispy Oven Fries + Kitchen Gadget Giveaway
Congratulations, Anna, you’ve won! I’ll send you an email in a few minutes. Thanks everyone for entering :) I went through a phase about 4 years ago where all I ever wanted for supper was homemade potato or yam fries baked in coconut oil. Even writing about it has me salivating. Did you know that…
No bake Frosty Chocolate Banana Cream Cups
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
Chai Spice Doughnuts with Almond Frosting
I’ve turned into a chai monster. Cold almond milk, chocolate protein cakes, hot rice, pancakes, porridge, muffins, doughnuts… all perfect opportunities to liven things up with a bit of chai spice, wouldn’t you say? It doesn’t end there. Since returning from India, I’ve gotten in the habit of adding generous amounts of chaat masala, cumin,…

Grilled
Our family’s pretty passionate about their grilling. Come rain, sleet, snow or blizzard, my Dad will brave temperatures below -30C for a slab of charred meat. Crazy Canadian. While I love my grilled meals, I’m not too keen on being cold. Thankfully, the weather’s just starting to heat up, neighbors are out on their patios…
Gluten-free Cinnamon Buns 2.0
They say good things come in threes. Over the course of last 6 days, I’ve developed two different cinnamon bun recipes yielding over 65 individual cinnamon buns, a stuffed freezer, and a very, very happy cinnamon bun loving boyfriend. I think it’s safe to say that good things can come in twos as well and…
Gift for Mom: Pea-not Chocolate Truffles
Mother’s Day has always been special at our house. Wait, let me try that again… We’ve always tried to make Mother’s Day special, whether that’s been the case for the past 26 years is another story. This especially holds true for the 3 year period Christina; my sister, and I were teenagers together. Our hormones…
