Carrot cake is one of those cakes that I never really choose over things like chocolate or vanilla, and then wonder why after having a piece of it. It’s such a “cosy” cake, you know? Rich flavours without being sickly, but light enough that you don’t get overwhelmed either. A few weeks ago I randomly […]

Gooey, S’mores Caramel Milk Chocolate Brownie
Listen, I’m usually the brownies-from-a-box kinda gal but I had so much chocolate in my house I actually couldn’t fathom eating it all so I decided to reach into my inner Mary Berry and try to make some real milk chocolate brownies… from scratch. I know… what? I actually combined ingredients together separately instead of […]
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe
Not just a slab of unseasoned chicken breast wrapped in a few strips of bacon. No, no, no. This is more than that. This is perfectly seasoned MOIST chicken encased in a crispy layer of sugar glazed bacon. I should write commercials… Anyway, this chicken is damn good. I’m sure we’re not the only household […]
Summer Fruit Salad
I don’t think there is anything easier to make than a fruit salad – chuck from fruit in a bowl with a little glaze and bang, you’re good to go. It was Mother’s Day last Sunday and we were invited to brunch at my boyfriends parents. Being the kind of person that can’t show up […]
Honey Garlic Chicken & Veggies
I’m quite a big fan of eating… have I made that obvious yet? I love food. And I love cooking (when it turns out well, that is). I’m particularly fond of flavourful, “foreign” dishes. One day I was struggling to decide on what to make for dinner, but I had a lot of chicken, veggies, […]
Easy, Healthy Chili Recipe
Seeing as winter clearly is not over yet, I’m still yearning for those warm, cosy meals. Chili happens to be quite high up on the best cosy meals of all time list – and I have to say, I make a damn good chili. I think what I love the most about this dish is […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
More often than not we end up with a few uneaten, really manky looking bananas. I’m a lover of the speckled brown banana but anything past that and I feel like I’m eating straight mush. So, like most people do, I’ve taken to using these bananas to whip up a banana bread. Here’s the recipe […]
Healthy Protein-Packed Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
It’s that time of year again folks – cold. I feel like we’ve been spoiled a little bit here in Ontario as the weather was SO NICE!… Up until about 2 weeks ago. But actually, much to my surprise I’m kind of happy that the weather is getting a little bit cooler… who am I?? […]

Vegetarian Tex Mex Stuffed Butternut Squash
I really thought that after the first month or so of living out of my parents house that I would get sick of cooking. I feel like I have an inner Jamie Oliver lodged in my soul that’s trying to make his way out via fall inspired recipes. ‘Tis the season for squash sales. My […]
Easy, Simple Protein Pancake Recipe
Protein pancakes were all the rage on social media when I first started my weight lifting journey about 7 years ago. Unfortunately, the ones I made always turned out rather disappointing (think: if you soaked cardboard in chocolate protein for a couple of hours and then heated it up), so I just stopped making them.
