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!…

DIY Guacamole
There are about as many recipes for guacamole as there are people making it. And with Summer around the corner, what better reason to stir up a batch, open a few beers (Mexican beers of course) and invite some friends over. Guacamole, at its base it basically 4 ingredients. Avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and onion….
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…
DIY Kale Chips
I have a bit of confession today. I’m kind of obsessed with kale chips! After all who doesn’t love chips? Salty and crispy, not to mention the fact that these are actually healthy. Who would feel bad about eat an entire bowl? You basically just ate an entire head of kale! Yes there is salt…
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…
Caramel Peanut Popcorn
CARAMEL. PEANUT. POPCORN. Not sure this recipe needs further introduction but just in case you need some convincing… I made my first batch of caramel peanut popcorn about 7 years ago for a family game night. It was an instant success… In fact whenever we organize game nights this popcorn is requested, or at this point…
Gluten-Free Fudge Brownies
Every once and a while I get the urge to play with gluten-free recipes. I don’t actually have any major issues with gluten, but I’ve found that when I over indulge my body makes sure to let me know. Generally speaking most of the foods I eat throughout the day are naturally gluten-free, but when…
Caramel Swirl Pecan Brownies
A quick and easy brownie recipe, and pretty versatile to be honest. Having invited my parents over for dinner a couple weeks ago, I was looking for something simple to serve for dessert. Cakes and cupcakes seemed too fussy for the mood I was in.
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…
Grown-Up Brownies
Going through the fridge over the past few weekends I noticed quite a few bottles of open red wine. I know leftover wine might be a foreign concept to some people I know (I won’t name names). Not being a big drinker myself, it’s not uncommon to have leftover wine in the fridge after dinner…
