It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t enjoy desserts. Not only do I love a good dessert, I hang out with people who are absolute dessert monsters, too. During my university years, I became obsessed with sweets. Partly because of the stress of academic life/work/scholarships & partly because I was adopted by a group of…… Continue reading Raw Vanilla Cheesecake Topped with Fresh Fruit!
In the realm of desserts, Christmas is all about the cookies. Baking & decorating a galore of cookies. And eating them, of course. Some of my earliest holiday memories involve decorating and eating large bell-shaped sugar cookies with traditional green and red icing. My mom liked bells and sometimes, we used tree shapes. These days…… Continue reading It’s Starting to Look A Lot Like Christmas: Almond Flour Double Chocolate Delight Cookies
A deliciously easy classic shortbread cookie recipe made with simple, unprocessed ingredients. Gluten-free & vegan options are also provided so that everyone can enjoy them!
Caramel is up there in my holy grail of foods; right next to ice cream. Sadly, they’re both rich in heavy cream when traditionally prepared. Caramel = sugar + heavy whipping cream + butter. That right there is the magic equation. And then there’s dulce de leche! Contrary to popular belief; dulce de leche and…… Continue reading Easy Vegan Caramel
The year was 2002 and I had just turned 18. (If you can handle simple maths, I just about divulged my age). Yep, the clock turned 30 +1 somewhere..

I just about managed to get a top shot view and then a close…… Continue reading Carrot Cake Squares with Maple Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
These are little bites of heaven. I can’t get enough of them. Neither can anyone who’s tried them. Homemade chocolate is incredibly delicious and packed with all the goodness of raw cacao (think dairy free, refined sugar free). But let’s face it- just chocolate per se, is a little “boring”. I’ve tried a variety of things…… Continue reading Chocolate & Caramelized Pecan Cups
These cookies have everything but the kitchen sink in them. And that’s no figure of speech. Think oats, almond flour, spelt flour, eggs, dark chocolate chips, coconut sugar, coconut oil, pure vanilla extract… But hey, it’s an incredibly easy recipe & it’s loaded with what I like to refer as “good for you” things. We…… Continue reading Gooey, Moist & Chewy Breakfast Chocolate Chip Cookies
Smoothie lovers rejoice, here’s another one for you! If like myself, you think kiwis are delicious, tart & just the right amount of sweet- you will love this drink. I do use creamy bananas to mellow out the tanginess a bit, as well as one of the best superfoods I’ve come across to up this…… Continue reading Creamy Kiwi, Banana & Chia Smoothie
