SKINNY CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CUPCAKES

These little babies here (the cupcakes, not the zucchinis. Dad picked one which was seventy times the size of my head yesterday, so there’s no way I can call them “little babies”), are the way I’ll be using this three-tons worth of summer produce. Who’s complaining? Not […]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes

Who here likes cookie dough for breakfast? (Time to picture me putting my hands up and all that jazz. I can never say no to cookies first thing in the morning!). Though I know what you’re all thinking now “Cookies? For breakfast? Are you right […]

CHICKEN SOUVLAKI KABOBS + GREEK SALAD

These chicken souvlakis are what summer dreams and cool barbecues are made of. Super flavorful and tender pieces of chicken grilled to perfection accompanied by a creamy tzatziki dip and the most refreshing greek salad. Now, that’s what I call a well-spent Sunday! Yeaaaah, I’m […]

Frozen Strawberry Crunch

This is definitely one of my all-time favorite desserts! Frozen Strawberry Crunch reminds me of a more ‘mature and formal’ version of those strawberry crunch bars I ate as a child in the summertime. I have had this on my ‘to bake’ list for the […]

Chicken, Bacon, Pineapple Kebabs

For BBQ season, I cannot think of a better recipe than this. And, I am not even considering it for just a BBQ time, you can make it all year long. I can truly say it is one of my favorite recipes that will blow […]

Cinna-bun Cake In The Oven

Cinna-bun cake is one of the trendiest foods in the world. Chinese cuisine is one of my favorites, and I love it. I watched a video of this recipe while browsing the internet and just had to make it. There were variations, ways, and ingredients […]

Soft Baked Breakfast Bars

These Soft Baked Breakfast Bars are a total win. Win win win! They’re full of fruit, fiber, flavour and they keep me full so that I don’t feel the urge to eat 6 of them (like I do with chocolate chip cookies… Sigh…). For fruit […]

Creamy Coconut Lemon Squares

These are ubiquitous. Everyone loves a good lemon bar – even the chocoholics who say it’s not worth it if it ain’t got chocolate in it will snatch up a lemon square off the dessert table.Their beauty lies in their simplicity that comes through their flavour and […]

Italian Raspberry Crostata (Crostata Marmellata)

Something you’ll find all over cafes in Italy are gorgeous golden tarts, called Crostata Marmellata. Marmellata means jam, which is exactly what they’re filled with – strawberry, raspberry, cherry and, one of my favourites, apricot. They’ll only set you back as much as that avocado […]

How to make Brownie Bombs

There are no major expectations and no specific requirements. It just has to be a) fun, and b) delicious enough to warrant eating the batter. In my job, I bake every day. The things I bake at work need to look a certain way, taste a certain way and cost a […]

Giant Molten Dark Chocolate Brownie Cake

This dessert has the texture of a brownie, but uses the technique of a cake…..it kind of has two personalities. It starts with creaming butter and sugar. You’ve done that before right? The sugar crystals pierce through the fat and introduce air, creating little tiny […]
