Sticky Maple Buns with Sweet Tahini Glaze

March 2, 2017

Sticky buns tend to come with all kinds of filling, but the most important detail is that the filling caramelized in the oven, rendering a deliciously sticky crust that gently coats and supports the pillow-y dough inside.

Ground Cherry and Pistachio Hand Pies

October 14, 2016

Ground cherries are completely under-appreciated. You would probably recognize them for their natural paper-encasing, beautifully tuliped to protect the fruit inside. Peel back that papery shell and you will find a golden round bulb that tastes a bit like a pineapple but with the texture of a tomato. Are you curious yet? I love snacking on ...

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

August 31, 2016

Hearty homemade muffins are pretty much one of the most perfect weekday breakfasts out there. I love when they’re full of jammy puddles of fruit, chewy bits of grains or seeds, and with a soft pillow-y crumb. These Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins are no exception. I love the chewiness from the oatmeal and the punch of fresh strawberries that ...

Lime and Persimmon Marmalade

March 6, 2016

Marmalade is a creation that is both sweet and tart- and I like to make my own as I prefer it more on the tart side. Especially when heavily slathered with hot butter and toasted baguette! This recipe uses limes which add a heavy citrus note, and is paired with persimmons. If you don’t know what persimmons are, they’re a large ...

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 ...

Reese’s and Cream Crepe Cake

September 10, 2015

What was your favourite candy when you were a kid? Mine was Reese’s peanut butter cups- and I was so calculated about enjoying them that I would count how many I had collected on Hallowe’en and carefully dole them out to myself over a couple weeks. In fact, even today when I purchase a bar, I carefully eat each little cup one by ...

Product Review: Muthins

July 4, 2015

A couple weeks ago I attended the opening event for the Corey Vines pop-up shop at Mansfield Athletic Club, downtown Montreal. It was a great event in honour of the up-and-coming locally-designed athletic wear, and there were a couple health food brands there, hoping to garner a bit of exposure for their products. One of those brands was ...

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 ...

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. ...

Apple Spice Smoothie

October 5, 2014

Last weekend Ben and I went apple picking with our friends Rebecca and Paul. We harvested Spartan, Macintosh, Lobo, and Golden apples, each just as delicious as their cousins (that sounds quite cannibalistic but I`m going to keep going…) It was a gorgeously warm and sunny day, but probably the last of the season before we transition into ...
