Milk Pudding and Brown Butter Banana Compote

April 15, 2016

Pudding is a childhood favourite, but sometimes I crave new flavours and interesting textures. This milk pudding, a Middle Eastern favourite, has been altered to include delicious flavours like vanilla and cardamom, and topped with a brown butter banana compote that is incredible! The flavours meld beautifully, and the elegance of the final ...

Zabaglione al Rum

March 27, 2016

I am a huge fan of custard. To the point that I will make a custard just to eat it with berries as an evening dessert. I’m not talking creme anglaise, I’m talking the thick and rich custard you’d dress a trifle with, sandwich between two cake layers, or even dollop on top of a generous slice of pie. Just recently I heard ...

Grainy Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

January 14, 2016

So it’s January, we’re all bundled up and the snow is blowing. And the cold makes us crave comfort foods to warm us from the inside out, such as sweet treats to soften the onset of S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder totally exists). But you can’t have delicious and unhealthy treats, no sir. Because you’ve promised ...

Coconut Rice Pudding

January 7, 2016

Rice pudding gets a bad rap. Most of us think of the thick and bland dish often served in cafeterias or pre-made in little plastic dishes. The rice tended to be overlooked, too thick or too watery, and not particularly appetizing. I think homemade rice pudding makes for the best January dessert. Why, you ask? You can enjoy it warm or cold, and ...

Yogurt Sundae with Coffee Bourbon Caramel

October 3, 2015

Life would be incredibly sad without dessert. But you can’t have a monster piece of chocolate layer cake with double fudge frosting every day! (Who am I kidding, if I could I totally would) A dessert on the lighter side can sometimes be tremendously appreciated, especially after a large meal or when you want something to cradle between ...

Potato Cheddar Breakfast Loaf

June 25, 2015

This potato bread is one of those wonderfully savory treats that is always great to have in your back pocket. Incorporating both diced and mashed potatoes, it is a delicious way to use up leftover potatoes. Because really, does anyone truly enjoy eating reheated mashed potatoes? I guarantee you this will make your cold mashed potatoes taste ...

Purple Juice (and about Juicing)

June 7, 2015

Have you ever heard of Joe Cross, or his documentary called “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”? Joe is a wellness advocate, and he lost 100 lbs and rid his body of an auto-immune disease thanks to his 60-day juice cleanse. Juicing has become quite the trend these past couple years, and Joe’s documentary has been at the helm since ...

Chocolate Banana Pudding (No Added Sugar + Vegan)

June 5, 2015

We all have those moments of weakness- where you definitely need something chocolate. And not one of those healthy but dry chocolate cookies. You know the ones I’m talking about: they taste somewhat stale, even months before the expiry date. I say, throw them out the window! Then grab an avocado and a couple ripe bananas for this ...

Simple Jam Tart

April 6, 2015

Long weekends are the best. You get to do the lazy relaxing things you always seem to run out of time for on regular weekends. Things like ten or twelve hour sleeps and lazy afternoons sitting on the couch curled up with a magazine/book/movie are the simply pleasures that long weekends lend themselves to. Thank you, long weekend, for being ...

One-bowl Granola

January 21, 2015

When I make granola, I never follow a recipe. How can that be, you ask? It’s partially due to the fact I never have all the ingredients on hand, but also partially because I don’t want it to be the same every time I make it. Granola can get boring incredibly fast, which is surprising given the variety of nuts and seeds it can hold. ...
