This special matcha cake is to die for! Everything goes perfectly together to create this anytime cake. It is great for a birthday, special event, or just to welcome some great weather in the spring! The colors would also make it excellent for the Christmas season. The cake base is simple yet tasty. You can add as much matcha as you like depending on preference and the quality of your matcha.

Healthy Ancient Roman Cheesecake
Yes this recipe is from Christmas don’t judge This cheesecake is not only healthy but historic! It is based off an ancient Roman cake called Savillum! I based the recipe from this one so check out that link for more history of the cake! It is made with ingredients that you would have found way back in ancient Rome. This includes cottage cheese, honey, and poppy seeds. You may use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. I think this would be more smooth with ricotta but also ricotta is way more expensive! I thought it was still amazing and smooth with cottage cheese. I made this for a Saturnalia party and the…

Lavender Lemon Loaf Cake (vegan)
Last month I went to Seattle! This was my first time in the city and I had a blast! I was swing dancing all night and exploring the city during the day. I went to the Pike Place Market and fell in love with the flowers there. I also went to the best thrift stores in the world (like seriously Seattle has some good stuff) One of my favorite things about the city though was the lavender just growing everywhere! There was lavender growing by the streets in the middle of city and big lavender plants planted by walkways. Lavender was growing like a weed! I would often pick some…

Our garden has produced a lot of huge veggies this year including yellow squash! We have more than we know what to do with so I decided to get creative with baking. I got to thinking that maybe I could make a sweet bread with some of the squash since you can make things with pumpkin or zucchini so why not squash? Don’t get scared off because there’s squash in here. I promise you that it will almost just like zucchini bread except a little more fun! This bread tastes so good fresh out of the oven.
