This week we got heat and we got ALOT of it. I am not one of those people who loves the sun. I am more like a vampire. I get cranky and glare and the bright hot sun. So I am always looking for ways to cool down. I love to bake, but in the […]

This weekend I walked into my very busy local market, and right in front of me, as if someone up above was smiling down, was a small selection of local BC strawberries. These berries were deep red, sun soaked and sweet from our rain soaked earth. I scooped up a small carton, heart bent on […]
Summer Mixed Berry and Peach Pavlova
I had my parents over for dinner a couple weeks ago. My mom told me that they were trying to avoid sugar, and therefore told me I didn’t have to make dessert. However, I love making dessert so I instead tried to get more creative in the dessert department. I had some wajope sauce to […]
Corn Cookies
I love to bake, and I was looking forward to trying some traditional recipes from The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen by Sean Sherman. I chose to do some baking because a lot of the recipes for main courses in this cookbook required specialty ingredients, and some of them I just couldn’t get my hands on. […]

This is a cake recipe that any chocoholic needs. One night not so long ago, during that oh so special time of the month I had the most intense craving for chocolate cake I had ever had. I was seriously wondering if I may be pregnant and this child was desperately wanting some cake. But […]
A couple years ago when I was recently married I discovered the absolute beauty of the simple pecan. These little nuts are deceiving, they may look a bit like a butt crack but oh boy oh boy do they taste delicious. Pecans are amazing in muffins, loaves, streusels, pie etc. I like to throw pecans […]
It is summer time and that means there is a multitude of fresh seasonal fruits, and it is always fun to think of new ways to eat them and serve them up. This recipe is super customizable, you can use whatever fruit is your favourite and you can choose to fill the crust with cream […]
One night I desperately needed something for my sweet tooth. I had recently watched a video to make a giant oreo chocolate bar, but that seemed like a bit much, but it inspired me to make half a dozen chocolate cups. These treats are delicious and you could make this recipe go further by […]
