See what I did there, haha. They're cookies that are more like cake - so they're cakies!!! I know I'm a dork, but in fairness it was my dorky fiancé that came up with the name; but it works. So obviously it's pumpkin spice season, (does anyone else feel like it should have its own season … Continue reading Old fashion pumpkin cakies
This recipe started off as an entry to a photography challenge, and turned into something far more than that. I absolutely love it. See I'm not a huge pie fan - I actually don't like pie crust, I do like the filling though; but this galette is the perfect mix of pie filling and just … Continue reading Rustic apple galette
I love cherries, I mean who doesn't love cherries? And it's cherry season in BC and I couldn't be happier. But I always eat cherries fresh, just the way they are. I've never really been a big fan of cooked cherries, couldn't get into cherry pie, or cherry sauce - you know like the kind … Continue reading Cherry coconut oat bars
I know I'm a little late posting and you're probably full in the swing of things for Easter dinner - but if you're still looking for dessert, this cake is absolutely perfect! I have been thinking about making carrot cake for a while now, staring at the carrots in my fridge hoping I had a … Continue reading Blood orange, carrot and ginger cake
As you know I'm not much of a dessert person - I don't really dig sweets or chocolate; but a bag of chips or a block of cheese, well that's a whole other story. Now since I've been pregnant, that's changed a bit - but I imagine that won't last long. Even so, one dessert … Continue reading Lemon Meringue Pie
The other day I went to my favourite little fruit and veggie market in Calgary and bought a few bags of Okanagan peaches. I'm probably a little bias because I love love love the Okanagan, but these peaches are off the hook. They are sweet, and juicy - just downright perfect. So I searched the … Continue reading Upside down peach cake
Ok, so I'm not vegan, I'm not even vegetarian. I'm just more conscious of things now then I was before. So we try to eat vegetarian in our house at least 3 times a week, eat more fish and less red meat, pork and poultry. So far, I find that part to be pretty easy. … Continue reading Vegan almond salted caramels
Summer time is for sunshine and frozen treats. At least that’s one of the things I remember from when I was a kid. It seemed when school ended my parents were a little more lenient when it came to treats. Freezies, popsicles and ice cream became stables in our summer diet. Don’t worry, we counteracted … Continue reading Pineapple, coconut & mint popsicles
I have to admit, I am not a scone fan. I'm not really a pastry fan period, but scones I especially don't like. I always find whenever I get them, they're hard and kind of flavorless and I have to chew the tiniest piece for what feels like hours to get through it. Just not … Continue reading Blueberry vanilla scones
Ok so you already know my secret ingredient - it's raspberries. I'm not a big dessert person, I don't really care for sweet anything and I generally dislike pie crust; so I decided to make pie, haha. My friend had a mountain of rhubarb in her backyard and it made me feel a little nostalgic … Continue reading Strawberry, raspberry & rhubarb pie
