I love it when I get bananas on reduced to clear! We go through bananas so quickly that I never have old ones in the freezer. One grocery store near us often has a giant bag of ripe bananas for $.99! I usually buy all that they have, and I get to make all my favourite banana recipes! Check out some of them ... Read More »
In the past 18 months, I’ve done a fair amount of gluten and wheat free baking, and while there are some excellent and tasty recipes out there, it’s so very rare to find easy gluten free recipes that turn out so similar to those tasty white flour alternatives. {By ‘easy’, I mean recipes that don’t involve all of the extras ...

Such a grey, rainy day today. I wanted something that would cheer everyone up and make the house smell great, so I searched Pinterest, of course, for a delicious-looking apple cinnamon recipe. I found this recipe for baked donuts from Suburban Epicurian, and it looked great. I’ve never actually made donuts in my donut tins – just muffins (see this ... Read More »
I had heard a great tip one day when I was at a workshop on healthy eating. It was simple enough – kids will eat anything shaped like a donut. If you want them to eat some really healthy muffins that they might otherwise not eat, bake it in a donut tin and call it a donut! (Now we really ... Read More »
Our little lady celebrated her 1st birthday last week – time flies so quickly!! Here’s my deal with birthdays and parties for wee little ones – I don’t really think that a 1 year old needs a table full of presents, or $50 worth of decorations, or much of anything, really – but I *do* love making cakes, and I ...

Recipes that only call for a couple or a few ingredients are awesome, and fun, too! However, maybe it’s just me, but “2 Ingredient ________” that uses cake mix, or cookie mix, or prepared icing, is cheating – just a tiny little bit. That’s why I think that this recipe is really kinda cool. It uses 2 real ingredients. Chocolate ... Read More »
Last time I was home with the kids to visit my mom, she gave me a cookbook that she had purchased for me (and had the author sign!): The No Grainer Baker (Like no-brainer, but no-grainer – get it?): Gluten Free / Grain Free; Ideal for celiac, high fibre, low carbohydrate and low sodium diets. So many of the recipes ... Read More »
I still remember the first time that I encountered Chocolate Ganache – I went to a wedding with a soon-to-be-ex boyfriend (always awkward going to a wedding with someone when you know your relationship with them is on the decline, hey?) in one of the south-eastern states – I really can’t remember where it was, I didn’t really know the ...

We’ve been enjoying variations on this gluten-free cookie base for the past few months here in our house. The original recipe that The Burlap Bag posted was 2 ingredients: Bananas & Oats, with the mix-ins of your choice. The simplicity of that is nice, and a 2-ingredient cookie is a great headline on Pinterest to draw in a crowd, but I found ... Read More »
MR – Having spent a semester in Paris, I’m very partial to French foods, especially crepes. You can get sweet dessert crepes or savoury dinner crepes. You can buy them from a stand on the corner, and they are still amazing! My dad always used to make the best crepes (we called them Skinny Pancakes). We knew whenever it was ... Read More »
