This summer was starting to feel monotonous, so I took five days to just do nothing. And it was glorious. I slept in till twelve o’ clock. I baked three recipes in one day. I went on a jog for fun. I watched a movie dedicated to sushi, and I made pancakes at 2 a.m. on multiple occasions. I…
Apple Brownies
This post is brought to you by Comp. II homework procrastination. I have to finish a paper, but after spending an entire day trying to complete it, I’m wearing out. I’ve eaten dinner, had a nice cup of hot chocolate, and now seeking a way to avoid my essay. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy…
Gluten Free Chocolate Donuts
This past weekend, my lovely friend Lauren was in town! She’s only a couple hours away, but that still makes it difficult to see each other as often as we want. Every visit we usually hike, bake, or make something creative. Needless to say, within the first 15 minutes of her stepping foot in my…
Strawberry ‘Nice’ Cream
What exactly is ‘Nice Cream’? Wellza, it’s this lovely little combination of fresh, wholesome ingredients that are mixed together to create an ice cream that is perfectly healthy. You can also eat this for breakfast, which is the main reason for making it, of course. Ice cream for breakfast? Yes, please! “You can’t buy happiness,…
Banana Pudding
I absolutely ADORE banana pudding. Ever since I was little, it’s been one of my all time favourite desserts. The earliest memory of eating banana pudding has to be at my Nana and Gramps’ house. We would have barbecue for dinner, and banana pudding for dessert. Since dairy and eggs are off the table, making a good pudding…
Lemon Cookies
I’m just going to start off by telling you I don’t like lemon desserts. I tried. I tried so hard. *ducks as lemons are thrown my way* Don’t worry though, these cookies were. . . acceptable. . .as someone who’s not a fan of lemon flavoured desserts. Mother on the other hand, LOVED these. Like, she…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries’ Cake
Oh hi there. : ) Do you remember those chocolate covered strawberries I made a little while back? I just had to make them again. They’re so lovely and I enjoy feeling fancy through small desserts. Of course, I couldn’t just make the strawberries. No, oh no. I had to do something new and exciting…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I made a fancy dessert. A super simple, super yummy, fancy dessert. I don’t know if it’s just me, but whenever I see chocolate covered strawberries, I think of fancy occasions. Is it just me? Story time! One of my close friends, Rachel, and I celebrated our 13th birthdays together a few years back. Our…
Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream
Ah, lookey there. Look at big bowl of creamy, cold, chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness. I’m drooling already can I skip the post and go back to eating my banana ice cream? No? Fine. But excuse me for a moment while I put my ice cream back into the freezer. I won’t let this small piece…
Hostess Cupcakes
Did you know I actually hated these cupcakes as a child? The Hostess brand, and the Little Debbie brand. I don’t know why, it must have been something about the flavor or the fact that they didn’t taste near as good as my mom’s cupcakes. That’s where baking at home comes in handy. Just the…
