Sometimes you feel like you need a snack. Then you open you cupboard and have to make a decision. Do you want salty? Sweet? Spicy? How about all of the above? A few months ago a friend introduced me to the idea of Curry Candied […]

Vegetable Beef Soup
The cornerstone of any recipe is its ingredients. For the Vegetable Beef Soup, you’d want to ensure that each ingredient is chosen carefully to provide that savory depth of flavor. How do you achieve the perfect broth consistency? The perfect broth consistency in Vegetable Beef […]
3 Ingredients 6 Minutes Salted Caramel Sauce
Would you believe that you can have this stuff ready to eat in less than 6 minutes? That’s less time than it’d take you to go to the store and buy a jar of the artificial stuff. You know the one I mean, that which […]
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 […]
Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Cake
This cake. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have a proper oven in my dorm because I’d totally give up on life and spend the rest of my days laying in bed in my pyjamas, re-watching GoT for the 22738th time devouring slice after slice […]
Skinny Brown Sugar Vanilla Cheesecake
Though truth to be true, the portion of cheesecake I had was the tiniest thing ever, which kinda makes me want to cry, since this one is one of the most decadent, luscious and creamiest recipes I’ve ever come across. Too bad I made this […]
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 […]
Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pancakes
What’s better than Saturday mornings with a warm mug of tea and a stack of cloudy pancakes smothered in syrup and topped with a dab of melty butter? Nothing. NO-THING. Oh well, a morning without homework would have been much better, but a girl has […]
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 […]
