I have to thank my BFF Alyssa for even giving me the idea to make homemade fudgesicles! I can’t remember the last time I had a fudgesicle – elementary school sports days come to mind, when we got a treat to celebrate the end of a sweaty, competitive day. I always loved the soft, chewy, […]
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
Recipe naming really isn’t my forte, as you can see from that unwieldy title. Eating is my forte. I’m ok with this. These chocolatey, peanut buttery squares happened because: a) it was too hot to bake b) I was out of butter anyways c) I had overbought peanut butter and needed to deal with it, […]
First on the First: ETON MESS
Well, this dessert is exactly what it sounds like: a hot mess. I had never heard of Eton Mess until learning it was our First on the First challenge for this month! Turns out it’s just a messy, easy, crowd-pleasing dessert full of strawberries, whipped cream, and meringue, a throw-together version of one of my […]
A Regional Canadian Food: Five Minute Homemade Raspberry Chia Jam
This recipe is a part of the Canadian Food Experience Project. As we (participants) share our collective stories through our regional food experiences, we hope to bring global clarity to our Canadian culinary identity – coming from the Berry Capital of Canada, I had to share something that showcases berries in all their natural beauty!

Barbecued New Potato Skewers
Last week I bought a sports bra that literally cost more than any single item in my closet. Aside from the fact that this may indicate a need for purchasing higher quality clothes, it was Worth. Every. Penny. (With the phasing out of the penny in Canada, can I still say that? Or is is […]
Lemon Coconut Tarts with Homemade Lemon Curd
Are they tarts or are they mini pies? I had a hard time deciding, but since the lemon curd filling made me think of lemon pie, we’re going with mini pies. Whatever you want to call these little bites, they’re easy, they’re springy, they’re cute, and they’re gluten and dairy free! I made these last […]
Pink Chantilly with Cranberries {Cookbook Review}
Have you noticed this jar trend gathering steam? Desserts, salads, granola, cookie mixes, lemonade, soup mixes…everything is so cute and organized in jars! You can bring your lunch to work in them, give gifts in them, and keep your dessert all to yourself in them. In keeping with this trend, I’m excited to be sharing […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]
Saturday Sweets: Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]
