Potato Waffles and Pomegranate Molasses

December 20, 2015

Waffles are one of my favourite breakfast foods. The extra effort required to whip them up makes them a weekend special, and they’re always rated first-class during brunch. But, like any classic, it can also be fun to give them a bit of a new flavour. These waffles are stuffed full of- you guessed it- mashed potatoes! I mixed in some ...

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. ...

Cornmeal Waffles

September 21, 2014

Sweater-weather is perhaps one of my favourite seasons. It’s when it is too cold for a summer dress, but still too warm to break out a parka. A sweater (preferably soft and fluffy) fits the bill perfectly these days, and I’m going to cherish it until the first speck of snow! Cozy up during this pre-fall time with these decadent ...

Black Pepper Cherries and Marzipan Cream Oatmeal

July 23, 2014

Are you a sweet or savoury breakfast person? Personally, I love sweet breakfasts. But sometimes, whipping up fluffy pancakes or deep-crevice waffles drizzled in salted butter and pure maple syrup is simply too much effort in the wee hours of the morning. Even on weekends. I am lucky enough if I can drag myself to the espresso machine (okay, I ...

Kick-Ass Wake-Up Muffins (AKA: Orange, Cranberry, Ginger muffins)

June 10, 2014

I think we all, at one point or another, have trouble with mornings. I’ve discovered I have no trouble waking up early when I have plans to bake and cook. But when I need to wake up to hit the gym, I am less than enthused. My bed somehow feels the comfiest on those mornings. These muffins are what you need to get out of bed. You ...

Lemon Date Scones

January 14, 2014

For me, starting a new year always means change. In the best possible way of course. To mark 2014, I have started going back to school. Yes, my life has officially gained momentum as I narrow in on where I want to take my career. So, not only am I working full-time, but I am also studying Public Relations and Communications. This means that ...

Brandy Berry Trifle

June 11, 2013

I’m sure most of us have a dish that reminds us of a special someone. For me, a trifle reminds me of my Mom. My Mom doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth (unlike me!), so she rarely feels inclined to do anything dessert-y. But every once and a while, normally around a big holiday like Christmas, she will break out her killer trifle ...

Strawberries and Cream Scones

April 8, 2013

Today, I did something completely out of character. I bought three baskets of strawberries outside of local strawberry season. I was so excited to have fresh fruits, but felt the familiar lack-luster of a transports-well kind of strawberry. Instead of making a fuss, I decided to use this opportunity to try my hand at scones. You know, the ...

Yogurt Berry “Flan”

June 4, 2012

A rainy day can usher the outdoorsy people back into their homes, searching for activities to keep them busy. Today was that kind of rainy day; but the sunshine is now streaming into my kitchen, teasing me with its warmth. Warmer weather always seems to inspire fruity and light desserts, and this particular recipe has been my go-to for many ...
