Peanut Butter Bars

I’m beginning to suspect that peanut butter might just be one of my favourite foods. Be it ever so deliciously swirled into ice cream, melted on toasted bread, or drizzled over breakfast porridge, peanut butter continues to captivate my taste buds … and at this point … my heart as well. There was a time…

Vianne’s Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free)

One of my favourite cakes to whip up in the kitchen comes from a beloved film I watched many years ago: Chocolat. As soon as I watched Vianne began the magic of making ganache, tempering chocolate, and wrapping up sweets, I knew that I must bake my own chocolate creation that could sit with the…

Strawberry Cake

Would you like to know a secret? Chocolate isn’t my favourite flavour of cake. *gasp* I know, I know. There’s a gazillion posts on my blog involving chocolate in some sort of way. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the stuff. In fact, I had chocolate quinoa this morning. However, when it comes down to it,…

Black Bean Quinoa Salad

Oh, quinoa. I could probably fill a novel with the endless reasons why I love the stuff. It’s such a versatile food that fills your plate while leaving your tummy super satisfied. One of my favourite dishes with quinoa is this black bean quinoa salad. This recipe is chock full of fresh and flavourful ingredients…

Apple Crumble

Let me tell you a story… Once upon a day in college, something in the air snapped. There was a chilly breeze, changing leaves, and the crisp smell of fall settled on campus. Students were suddenly pulling out their sweaters, having picnics on the quad, and sipping pumpkin spice lattes.As I watched a movie-like scenario of autumn unfold…

Orange Sweet Rolls

As you probably know, I have food allergies. And that for me, it’s hard to cope with those allergies sometimes. Okay, not sometimes. ALL THE TIME. I think it’s just the fact that I can’t have something I want and the feeling of no control really stresses me out. I’m a bit of a control freak, so food…

Vegan Ice Cream Cake

I believe there’s a story behind every cake. It might be because the decadent desserts are typically used for celebrations, and there are always stories that come with that.

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

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…

Sweet Potato Waffles

As the third week of school comes to an end, I am left knee-deep in homework and with a dire craving for baked goods. Seeing as I’m a tad bit obsessed with breakfast foods, I knew as soon as I set my backpack down today that I had to make these waffles. The thought came during physics as I…

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…
