Oreo Cheesecake Bars

I love cheesecake. I remember after cross country practices I would drive to the grocery store and buy slices of cheesecake for myself. I ended up keeping a fork in the glove department specifically for my treat. Those days are gone, seeing as cheesecake is made up of literally everything I’m allergic to. However, this tofu…

Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Quiche

I’m told I have a problem with pronunciations. Words like, inevitable, rihanna, wednesday, and quiche. All of these words are seemingly common when it comes to the English language, however, when it comes to my tongue enunciating proper vocabulary, it all seems to go downhill.

Black Bean Brownies

I often hear people say, “I think I was just born in the wrong century”. More often than not, they’re talking to me, and decide to switch out the “I” with a slightly derogatory “you”. At first I took the term into consideration, pacing barefoot on the floorboards, wondering if I was indeed born in…

Chickpea Cookie Pie

This summer was starting to feel monotonous, so I took five days to just do nothing. And it was glorious. I slept in till twelve o’ clock. I baked three recipes in one day. I went on a jog for fun. I watched a movie dedicated to sushi, and I made pancakes at 2 a.m. on multiple occasions. I…

Avocado Grilled Cheese

I spend a large portion of my summer cooped up by the sunny windowsill, in my flea market armchair, wasting the day away with pinterest and netflix. I’m perfectly content to relish in the neverending depths of pins and pics when the temperature is a triple digit number, and I rely on my left pinky finger to fall asleep so…

Apple Brownies

This post is brought to you by Comp. II homework procrastination. I have to finish a paper, but after spending an entire day trying to complete it, I’m wearing out. I’ve eaten dinner, had a nice cup of hot chocolate, and now seeking a way to avoid my essay. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy…

Sautéed Kale Salad

For all you avid salad lovers out there, this kale salad is definitely one for the books. The crisp, crunchy, and colourful medley of mixed greens will knock your socks off. The vibrant colours and textures combine to make one mouth-watering bowl of awesome. Sometimes I like bigger vocabulary words, but ‘awesome’ fits just fine today.Did I mention it’s…

Blueberry Corn Cakes

Nutritionally speaking, these corn cakes “take the cake.” Filled with whole grains and healthy ingredients, you can’t get a better recipe to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. Or should I say, corn cake tooth?Ma affirmed that these were indeed delicious, by quick nods, followed through with “mmhmm’s” and a couple “yums”. My sister was licking…

Oil/Salt Free Potato Chiplets

When I first started making my own potatoes, I had no clue as to what I was doing. Absolutely none. Seasonings were a mystery. Cooking time was a myth. The only thing I did know about cooking any kind of potato is that no matter what you’ve done with the spud: butter fixes it. That…

Gluten Free Chocolate Donuts

This past weekend, my lovely friend Lauren was in town! She’s only a couple hours away, but that still makes it difficult to see each other as often as we want. Every visit we usually hike, bake, or make something creative. Needless to say, within the first 15 minutes of her stepping foot in my…
