There seems to be quite the hype about green smoothies lately. It must be an intriguing thought; drinking vegetables through a straw. But when those vegetables taste like a tropical paradise and make you feel as if you’ve been transported to a lush, green island surrounded by mangoes and bananas galore. . . plus, you’re getting a…
Oil/Salt Free Potato Chiplets
When I first started making my own potatoes, I had no clue as to what I was doing. Absolutely none. Seasonings were a mystery. Cooking time was a myth. The only thing I did know about cooking any kind of potato is that no matter what you’ve done with the spud: butter fixes it. That…
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,…
Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is brought to you from the kitchen of someone who is officially done with school! Or…taking a two month break… Nonetheless, I had time for this recipe and needn’t rush when I made them earlier today. The calm morning aided in the good outcome of these cinnamon rolls. The last time I had cinnamon…
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…
Chocolate Protein Shake
Woah. Woah. Woah. WOAH. If you can’t tell, I am very excited about this smoothie. I’m a bit on the fence about smoothies though—-some are too thin, too vegetabley, too chunky (*shudders*), or too bland. I’m more into the thick, creamy, rich, chock full of yumminess kind of smoothies. As of late I’ve started drinking protein shakes with this…
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…
Pb&J Waffles
A few months back, Dad bought me my very own waffle iron. That was a very good day. I mean, it’s not like my ultimate happiness depends on a belgium waffle maker…but…c’mon… Just look what my precious little waffle iron can make:I kid you not when I say we had waffles four times a week at some…
Elvis Toast
There are so many new recipes and cooking shows amidst the bookstores and interwebs these days. But I don’t want anything new. ( I still like thingamabobs and thingamajigs, I just need a breather ) Therefore, I’m heading down memory lane and going back to my roots. My roots meaning breakfast toast. ( Elvis just happened to slip in…
