I’m starting to learn that nothing is ever simple. On my blog, sometimes I feel compelled to portray myself as a pristine, top of the notch, person who has it all together like Giada. If I were an Ina Garten or a Giada, this blog would be different. Things would be perfect. It’s their job to make everything…
Healthy Chocolate Cake
I believe good things come from chocolate cake. I mean, some of my best ideas have transpired whilst enjoying a slice at 2 am. Whether it’s a forgotten fact about snake bites, or the answer to a physics problem — chocolate cake is rather awesome. The only downside to chocolate cake is that apparently some Eeyore…
Two Ingredient Chocolate Ice Cream
I lost my ice cream maker. I don’t know how, and I certainly don’t know when, but what I do know is that I’ve been left to fend for myself in the field of homemade ice cream. Honestly, it’s not a huge deal. I’ve only ever used it once. But I mean, for those inexplicable moments…
Sour Cream Doughnuts
This seems to be the summer of sweets. Forget bikini season, I’ll be in my apron.Although I do love to soak up the sun, eat watermelon by the pool, and relax with my friends, I’m always itching to get back into the kitchen. I want to create a new dish, bury my fingers into a…
Chocolate Cake
This is one of those classic chocolate cake recipes. The kind of cake that makes your heart a little lighter, and sends a smile to your face. It’s fun to get together and have something good to eat at least once a day. That’s what human life is all about — enjoying things. – Julia Child I like fussy…
Banana Split Cupcakes
When I was little, I woke up on a Tuesday and wanted a banana split for breakfast. It was set in my mind that having one in the morning would bring me the best day possible. So, in my Princess Jasmine jammies, I confidently marched into the kitchen and presented my idea to my mother….
The BEST Cinnamon Rolls
I kid you not when I say these are the BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted. The last batch I made were absolutely fantastic, hands down. But this recipe. These rolls. I’m practically drooling. Warm, gooey, chock full of flavour… I can’t think of anything else I would want. What else is better than sticking your hands in…
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…
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…
