Halloween Cupcakes with Orange & Green Natural Dyes

Halloween Cupcakes with Orange & Green Natural Dyes

Halloween is my favourite holiday. So when I was gifted a Halloween cupcake kit a few years ago, I promised myself I would make some Halloween cupcakes the next time the occasion rolled around. Fast forward to today, only about 7 years later. What can I say, life gets in the way and Halloween cupcakes have to wait. I finally figured, why wait ...

Rhubarb Apple Crumble with Vanilla Bean Kefir Ice Cream

Rhubarb Apple Crumble with Vanilla Bean Kefir Ice Cream

Rhubarb is one of those things.. it seems to have limited uses. When we found rhubarb at the farmers market a while ago, my partner said, "What do you do with rhubarb besides make strawberry rhubarb pie?" I didn't know the answer to his question, so I bought a bunch. Strawberry and rhubarb must be the ultimate combo, since they are paired in nearly ...

Lucuma & Cinnamon Banana “Ice Cream”

Lucuma & Cinnamon Banana “Ice Cream”

It's official! Summer is on its way, despite the hail and snowstorm we had in Edmonton this week. It's only been 2 days since the snow, and already it's melted and the grass is greener than before. Trees have baby leaves, flowers are popping up, the farmers market is selling seedlings again, and I've resumed biking everywhere. We had our first ...

Salted Date Caramel Chocolates

Salted Date Caramel Chocolates

Normally, I am pretty lazy in the kitchen. I prefer to eat things that are quick and easy to prepare. This becomes even more apparent when my partner is away for work, and I often find myself sitting down to something simple like chopped raw veggies (I can't ever get enough of cucumbers) sprinkled with sea salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast, ...

Superfood Chocolate Brownie Truffles

Superfood Chocolate Brownie Truffles

I have a confession to make. I hate the word superfood. Like, hate it. In my opinion, every (edible) plant is a superfood. They all provide us with their own unique combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Who are we to say that one food is better than another? Variety is the key. The more types of plant-based foods you ...

Festive Matcha & Pomegranate Sugar Cookies

Festive Matcha & Pomegranate Sugar Cookies

What is Christmas without Christmas cookies? Thinking back, it's probably been at least 2-3 years since my partner and I have made cookies at Christmas. Or cookies ever, really. Since we are in a new city this year and won't be enjoying cookies with family, we decided to go ahead and make our own. He listed off all the cookies he wanted. Sugar ...

Roasted Cinnamon Plum Vegan Ice Cream

Roasted Cinnamon Plum Vegan Ice Cream

I am so thankful that fresh fruit is still available at the farmers market, even though we are now into December! A big thank you to our friendly neighbours in British Columbia. We've been buying lots of apples and pears, but we hadn't bought any plums at all. We didn't even really buy any plums all summer. So we decided it was time. We ate the ...

Cacao Pumpkin Pudding

Cacao Pumpkin Pudding

My partner is apparently not a big pumpkin fan. Not as much as me anyways. I didn't realize this until I made enough pumpkin puree to store in the freezer all winter. I was busy licking off spoons, and he was busy making faces. So I decided I needed to find a way to use some pumpkin without having it taste like pumpkin. Hence this rich and ...

Peach Crumble

Peach Crumble

I've never had access to a year-round farmers market before moving to Edmonton in July, so my goal has been to buy all of my weekly groceries at the market (besides a few staples like bananas and citrus). So far it's been amazing, but then again we've had a beautiful fall. Despite the fact that it's already mid-October, BC peaches are still showing ...
