Fall is officially here, the leaves have turned and lay scattered across the ground, and the mornings are cool and brisk. At least here in Montreal. And every year, with the arrival of the cooler weather comes my desire to light the oven and bake sweet treats.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
You know those giant chewy oatmeal cookies you get from coffee shops (and high school cafeterias)? Well, these are their baby cousins. Baby, only because I make them much smaller. Because whether they’re big or small, I’m still going to eat more than one, so it’s just healthier this way…
Banana Oat Blender Pancakes
Pancakes and Sundays go together like peanut butter & jelly, or is it peanut butter & chocolate? Or maybe popcorn and movies? Whatever… you get the idea! And while this isn’t the first pancake recipe I post, and most likely not the last, these Banana Oat Pancakes have been my Sunday morning staple over the…
DIY Cold Brew
Hey there friends, sorry I’ve been away from this space for the past weeks. I’ve been off recovering from surgery and practicing self-care (fudge that’s hard). But, I’m slowly coming back and getting stronger, and wanted to kick things off with a recipe I love. Cold Brew Coffee. Cold brew is my summer drink of…
Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal
Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal Vegan • Gluten-Free • Sugar-Free Hey there foodies. I’m here settling into the week after a loooong weekend, all the while prepping for some upcoming vacation time. Over the Easter weekend I reached out over Instagram asking who wanted a baked oatmeal recipe, which turned out to be a wise move,…
Apple-Pumpkin Crisp
Pumpkin-Apple Crisp Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Guys, it’s getting cold… Which means more baking to warm up the house. You guys do that too, right? I feel like the fall months are constant struggle between everything apple, or everything pumpkin spice. There may be other fall flavors, but in my mind these are the only…
Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins
You guys, I have to tell you how proud of myself I am. One, these muffins are delicious. But two, and more importantly, I waited until October before I started bombarding you guys with pumpkin recipes. There are rules in the blogosphere, kind of like how you can’t wear white after labor day. But we’re…
Green Reboot
Too much partying this weekend? I know I did… so in case your body needs a reboot this morning here is a really easy green juice recipe. I make mine in the blender, only out of laziness so I don’t have to wash the juicer. If you have a juicer feel free to use it….
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with 2-Ingredient Fudge Frosting
Gluten-free, refined sugar-free cake with 2-ingredient frosting… are you intrigued?? This recipe came about as a birthday cake for my dad, who is diabetic and can’t have large amounts of refined sugar. Of course it’s also gluten-free and vegan, because what’s the point in making a cake that I can’t eat. Especially chocolate cake. Seriously,…
Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those basic recipes everyone should have in their arsenal. It should be considered part of the basics, right up there with boiling water and cooking rice. Ironically I couldn’t cook a pot of rice if life depended on it… thank god for the rice cooker… But back to banana bread!…
