And a hug around the neck! It’s raining hard and I am long overdue to give you some recipes. I went apple picking on Sunday out in Brampton and I definitely bought a bushel of apples. I picked a few royal gala for eating and a ton of mackintosh for all things baking. Macs and [...]

Tonight I took in a great performance of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice at the Canadian Opera Company. This was my second time seeing it and interestingly I teared up at different places tonight. Yes, I know, I’m a sap, I cry at operas, I cry at the concerts, I tear up when I’m proud of [...]

I love cooking. Nothing makes me feel better after a long complicated day then coming home and facing some delicious veggies waiting for chopping. With this in mind, sometimes we need delicious meals we could make ourselves but packaged for convenience. These little 140 calorie souffles are a perfect breakfast if your office has a [...]

Talk about yum. Made these spelt strawberry shortcakes this evening. Recipe to be posted tomorrow. The scone puffed up in the oven and pairs well with the vegan icing. Over the last few days, Toronto has been hit with a big heat wave and I was craving sushi but didn’t want the rice. Turns out [...]

I’m bad at breakfast. I always wake up late. I decided to make something for the week and thought you might like it too. I’m sure you could use agave nectar in the place of honey to make this vegan. Made some yummy granola bars for the week that I’d like to share with you. [...]

I’m about to head to a friend’s fashion show in the Distillery district and then go home to some spaghetti squash for dinner. To cook a spaghetti squash preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut it in half, remove the seeds and bake for 10 minutes flesh side down. Then flip it over and cook [...]

I was feeling a little restless today. I decided to channel the energy into an awesome batch of double chocolate chip cookies. I recently broke down and bought a cookie scoop. I have to say, if you want consistent looking cookies, it’s the way to go. I’m telling you – if you are gluten free [...]

The blueberry muffins consist of spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, agave nectar, vanilla, soy milk, lemon extract and blueberries. I froze some wild blueberries during the summer and [...]
