Jumble Berry Pie

Jumble berry is just a pie, with a whole jumble of berries as the filling. I really just thought the name was cute. This pie has strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and cranberries. So many sweet, tart, delicious flavours all happening at once and served with vanilla ice cream- how could anything be wrong with that? [...]

Golden Plum Coffee Cake
Peach Caprese Salad w/ Prosciutto

As a baker, when I think about peaches, I automatically think about peach pie (recipe to my peach pie HERE), peach cobbler, or peach sorbet (recipe to that, click HERE). However, I am constantly trying to learn new things and try new flavour combinations. When I was researching different things to do with fresh Ontario [...]
Sweet Corn Salsa

This salsa can be served with tortilla chips, fish, chicken or tacos- or anything else you can think of! I received my weekly fresh box and in it was beautiful, fresh, ontario sweet corn. As corn goes, the fresher the corn, the sweeter the kernels. With this being said, it obviously tastes the best when [...]
Vegan Blueberry Earl Grey Tart
Vegan Strawberry-Peach Ice Cream

Day 4! I don't own an ice-cream machine, but that doesn't stop me from making some! Whenever I'm wanting to make some ice-cream, I go for a no-churn version. For a non-vegan recipe for no-churn ice-cream check out my Raspberry Ripple Ice-Cream Recipe: HERE However, a no-churn ice cream usually starts with a sweetened condensed [...]
Vegan Soft Ginger Cookies

How is everyone enjoying #VeganWeek so far? I am really enjoying it! I am learning a lot, and I love trying new recipes and techniques. Vegan baking really isn't that difficult, and it doesn't need to have fancy ingredients either! I am also aiming to provide you all with vegan recipes that even non-vegans will [...]
Vegan Shortbread

Welcome to Day 2 of Vegan week! Today, I am sharing with you all a delicious recipe for Vegan shortbread. It is buttery, (without the butter of course) crumbly, and sweet- just like any perfect shortbread should be. These are perfect holiday cookies, you can add any chopped nuts, dried fruit, or vegan (or non-vegan) [...]
Vegan Blueberry Scones
Samoa Cookies

For those that don't know, Samoa Cookies are sold my Girl Guides in The United States. In Canada, we only have 2 different Girl Guide Cookies: The Mint chocolate ones and the Chocolate and Vanilla ones. In the US, they have 6 different kinds of Girl Guide cookies. Thin Mints: a thin wafer covered with [...]

Ontario Peach Pie
Grilled Mushroom Flatbread

Flatbreads are great for summer, as they can be done on the bbq and are so quick and easy to put together! These flatbreads use store-bought Naan bread. Naan is rlatively cheap in the grocery store, and are sturdy enough to hold toppings which works perfectly well in this recipe! Mushrooms and cheese on a [...]
Loaded Greek Quinoa Salad

This salad is packed full of veggies and delicious flavours! Greek salad is one of my all time favourite salads, but sometimes it can get a little bit....boring. The typical Greek salad is very simple: cucumbers, tomatoes, feta and olives. Here and there you will see some other ingredients thrown in, but that is the gist [...]
Chai Poached Pear Chocolate Loaf
Mini Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cakes

I often go into second-hand stores and go straight to the Homeware section. You can always find some really nice baking pans, tools, or even just find inspiration from what you can find. Last time I went in, I found this mini bundt cake pan. I was so excited and got instantly inspired. Bundt cakes [...]
{Palmiers}: The Easiest 2-Ingredient Cookie! Elegant & Delicious
Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt & Espresso Cookies

Chocolate Chip cookies are a universal favourite. Everything about them screams decadence. The combination of sugar, butter, flour and chocolate is one made in heaven. There really is no smell like that of some freshly baked cookies out of the oven. I hope you guys give these a try! The use of dark chocolate and [...]
Pink Peppercorn, Lemon, Pistachio and Earl Grey White Chocolate Bark

If I'm being honest, I usually am not a fan of white chocolate. There is nothing I like more than dark, bitter chocolate. However, this white chocolate bark is so well balanced and isn't too sweet. Pink peppercorns have a floral spiciness to them that really lend well to desserts. I had never really used [...]
Fresh Box Market Collaboration- July 25th
I am so happy to share with everyone that I am collaborating with Fresh Box Market to bring you recipes using fresh produce from their weekly boxes! All of Fresh Box Market's produce is sourced locally or freshly imported when local is not available. They take pride in providing the freshest and highest quality product possible. [...]
Warm Apple and Berry Cobbler

Now, what's the difference between a crisp and a cobbler? Answer: It's all in the topping. Crisps typically have a topping comprised of flour, nuts, butter, oats and sugar, leaving a crisp texture. The topping can also include streusel. Thanks to their crumbly nature, crisps are also called crumbles. A cobbler is usually topped with [...]
French-Style Potato Salad

This recipe is quite simple, and is perfect for a summer picnic. It can be served warm, cold or room temperature, and it keeps very well in the fridge. In the Fresh Box Market post I made earlier, I explained what the "French-Style" potato salad refers to. When you think of a typical potato salad [...]
Grilled Mexican Corn

The combination of the char from the barbeque, the sweetness of the corn, the garlic-y mayonnaise dressing, the sharp cheese and the spices create such a magical, fresh bite that screams summer to me. Growing up, corn was such a staple on our dinner table every summer. We usually have it boiled and smothered in [...]
The Perfect Vegan Banana Bread

Vegan baking isn't something to be intimidated by. I think baking with restrictions like gluten-free, vegan, lactose-free, egg-free...etc. is something that intimidates a lot of people. When you think about baking vegan treats, you might think of expensive ingredients, "fake" ingredients, or using something you aren't used to. Let me tell you- this banana bread [...]
Chocolate-Orange Babka
Plum Custard Tart
Raspberry Ripple { No Churn } Ice-Cream

Growing up (what am I saying I'm only 22 I am still growing up) Raspberry Ripple was my favourite ice cream flavour. Kawartha Dairy Raspberry Ripple to be exact. It reminds me of my mum, of hot summer days, and of going up to my nana and papa's house in Peterborough. Unfortunately they have discontinued [...]
Cinnamon-Honey Roasted Granola
Easter Macarons

I saw a video on YouTube of these delightful little creations and I instantly thought of robin eggs, bird chirping, spring and Easter. Here is a link to Cooking Tree's  YouTube page where I got the recipe from. If you haven't checked out Cooking Tree you are missing out! She does ASMR cooking videos that are so [...]
Butter Croissants
Eclairs

I'm going to share with you all my basic recipe for choux pastry. Choux pastry, or pâte à choux is a cooked dough that makes eclairs, cream puffs, paris brest.. you name it. I hadn't made eclairs in a long time until we were asked to make Gluten Free, Sugar-Free versions in my desserts class. [...]
Classic Opera Cake
Gingerbread Village Cake

Happy Holidays everyone! I must apologize for my lack of posts recently. There's nothing I can say except life just got busy. With curling, school, catering gigs, studying, practice, and everything else- I just couldn't find the time. It's sad, really because since I started this blog I have gotten nothing but good feedback and [...]
Preserved Lemons

Preserved lemons are a common condiment from South Asian and North African cuisine. It is also known as "country lemon" or leems. They provide an intense punch of lemon flavour that lemon juice and lemon zest just can't provide. The preservation process does take time, but it is worth it I promise. What can you use preserved lemons for?You [...]
Pumpkin-Spice Donuts

I was recently tasked with making a treat using the theme of "pumpkin spice." That usually isn't that difficult this time of year, but I wanted to try something different other than your typical pumpkin pie. I was scrolling through Pinterest looking for inspiration for future blog posts and I saw some jelly-filed donuts. I [...]
