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…

Black Bean Salad

A few weeks ago, my dad and I ventured out to a baseball game. I’m not quite sure all the details of how we got the tickets–seeing as neither of us are avid sports’ fans–but we were there, and there was catered food. Now, for someone with food allergies, catered food is a nightmare. I had…

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…

Mango Green Smoothie

There seems to be quite the hype about green smoothies lately. It must be an intriguing thought; drinking vegetables through a straw. But when those vegetables taste like a tropical paradise and make you feel as if you’ve been transported to a lush, green island surrounded by mangoes and bananas galore. . . plus, you’re getting a…
