So these happened a couple months ago… It took a few iterations to get the custard to the right consistency and flavor, but boy oh boy did I nail it on this last iteration. There is something about cream pies that just screams summer. I remember as kid we would often buy the frozen McCain…

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!…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Today I’m swooning over these chocolate chunk cookies. They’re sweet, with big chunks of melted chocolate, crispy on the outside, and chewy and tender on the inside. I’ve been playing with this recipe for the better part of a year (that’s a lot of cookies). Changing the sugars, flours, oils, and egg substitutes in each…
Toasted Coconut Blender Pancakes
Sunday mornings are for sleeping-in, pj’s, and fuzzy socks. For most of us they’re the one day a week we allow ourselves to truly be lazy and just relax. I know that’s the case for me. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for walking the dogs, I might never leave the house. Heck, if I had someone…
Sugar-Free Granola
OMG you guys this granola is the bomb. Seriously, it so awesome, and it’ healthy! Today’s post was originally supposed to be tofu scramble, but I’m so in love with this granola that I advanced it in my post queue. I love granola and use to buy it all the time, that is until I…
Anzac Cookies
Anzac cookies hold fond memories for me. These are the first recipe I made after discovering Heidi Swanson’s blog 101 Cookbooks. Heidi’s blog and books (her books are awesome too) are filled with vegan and vegetarian recipes. Its ironic as I discovered her blog years before ever going vegan. It wasn’t until a year later…
Cranberry Orange Loaf
Coming off of the holidays, I’m finding myself with fridges and freezers that are overflowing with produce and left-overs. We had family visiting from out of town and since everyone was leaving the country to be able to return home, no food could be taken with them. So in an effort to reduce some of…
Raspberry – Oat Crumb Muffins
If there is one thing that has been extremely abundant this summer; it’s the garden’s raspberry production. They just keep coming. I’ve been throwing them into just about everything over the past month, and the freezer is completely stocked with bag upon bag. We’ve also been giving them away to family members, after all who…
Coconut-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Personally I think its really hard to make a bad banana bread. Pretty much anything goes in terms of add-ins; chocolate, nuts, fruit, etc. So as I was preparing my bags for my second trip down to South Africa last Friday, I noticed the bunch of bananas sitting in the fruit bowl on the dinning…
Cowboy Cookies
Weather in Montreal has been quite divers over the past couple of weeks. We have beautiful days above 30°C and the very next day it’ll drop down to 10 or 13°C. We had a few of those colder days over the past week and personally I refuse to start turning back on the heaters.
