I have shared with you guys that my very busy household (composed of my husband + two toddlers + our very yappy pet dog) does not entirely partake in my gluten-free/dairy-free/sugar-free lifestyle. I made it a point when I started on this food journey that while I would incorporate a lot more whole, unprocessed, foods into their diet; I would not impose any…… Continue reading Beyond Blissful Bakes: Blueberry Buttermilk Spelt Muffins
I love a good peach pie/peach cobbler/peach crisp/peach crumble. All slightly different names describing delicious variations you can concoct with tree-ripened peaches during the summertime. And let’s get technical here; isn’t a “crumble” the exact same thing as a “crisp”? I believe the wording varies depending on which side of the pond (hmm, the Atlantic) you reside. Either…… Continue reading Apple Crisp Can Wait for the Fall, Summer is for Peaches!
This is my second brownie recipe in just as many weeks. Pssst… I like chocolate, sorry. Not sorry. I think chocolate is a beautiful thing; especially when stripped down from dairy & sugar. You can seldom go wrong with brownies, and these are quite literally my 10 minute brownies. They take 10 minutes to prepare (25-30…… Continue reading Double Chocolate Espresso Brownies: Dark Chocolate With a Kick!
These brownies will melt in your mouth and so will all of your surroundings. They have become quite a hit at our home, and are gone in 60 seconds. That’s no figure of speech. I first tried fudge at one of my closest friend’s wedding at Niagara On The Lake about 7 years ago. I thought I…… Continue reading Incredibly Moist Maple Almond Fudge Browniesl
A batch of warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and a glass of cold milk (non-dairy in my case) are the epitome of home comfort. Oh and the joy of a good book! Not that I have much time to read these days… The last book I read was Lena Dunham’s “Not that Kind of Girl” and it was…… Continue reading Perfectly Chewy Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
So, for the first time since I started blogging about food, I was unsure of how to categorize a post. You see; my dilemma was centered around whether the above constitutes breakfast or dessert? I couldn’t decide. So I categorized it under both. Because, why not? In terms of aesthetics, this definitely looks like dessert. It…… Continue reading Chocolate & Coconut Parfait- Breakfast or Dessert?
I have been in love with granola for a really, really long time. That said, I have also been disenchanted. It’s one of the first “health foods” that I actually felt had duped me. All this time, my lifelong friend was hiding a sugary secret. She was not helping my waistline, but rather perpetuating my sugary cravings. I…… Continue reading Maple & Pecan Homemade Granola
When the weather calls for rain or cold, I joke that my sweet tooth activates (almost) immediately. I am of the belief that you can never quite “lose” a sweet tooth. You can only tame it. The only thing that’s changed since I began this health journey is what I satisfy those sweet cravings with. And at…… Continue reading Heavenly Strawberry & Blueberry Crumble
If you follow my Instagram picture blog; there are two self-evident truths. The first is I love breakfast. I live for breakfast. I could eat breakfast-like foods at every meal, every day and die a happy gal. The second truth is I love dessert. So yes, giving up dairy, refined sugar and gluten wasn’t a walk…… Continue reading Deliciously Creamy Raw Blueberry Cheesecake
