This is not a Pudding
Happy April Fool’s Day! I hope you had an exciting day. I love hearing the funny stories on April Fool’s Day. My favourite this year was IKEA’s Highchair for dogs. Did you like or take part in any pranks? Surprise all of your friends with this vegan pudding. I swear it tastes just like the real thing! It requires about 10 seconds to make and uses no stove top. I think I like it more than regularly dairy pudding. Topped with frozen cherries and cinnamon This pudding gets its creamy texture from soft tofu. The secret to thickening it is guar gum. This stuff works like magic! Chocolate Vegan Pudding Makes…

Vegan Gluten Free Coconut Pancakes
It has been a goal of mine to make a special gluten free and vegan dish for a while. I have also wanted to experiment with coconut milk. Today I finally got around to doing it! I must say the result were scrumptious. The perfect winter morning breakfast has definitely got to be pancakes. Especially as the week upon me is going to be freezing. And what better way to dream of summer than with the tropical taste of coconut? I don’t know about you but I love coconut. I love the taste, the smell, the texture, and even the shape. Right now I am imagining myself sipping the milk…

Microwave Bean Brownie
I tried hot yoga for the first time a few days ago! It was excellent and in fact I am going again today! Hot yoga is an experience every yogi should try. If you don’t like yoga because you find it too “easy” then I highly recommend hot yoga because you’ll be sweating buckets. I went in for a 75 minute class and it went by so fast! I enjoyed every second of it. Much to my surprise, my muscles were sore the next day. That was strange for me because I hardly ever get sore muscles. In case you don’t know what hot yoga is, it’s basically a normal yoga class done…

Trains and Pancakes
Dear Train, Please never leave me out in the freezing cold again. It was minus 30 degrees Celsius outside at seven in the morning. Yet somehow you collided with a car. And you made me late for my lab. Why is it that emergencies like this always happen in freezing weather? This is the second time you have left me trapped downtown in the winter weather And like the fourth or fifth time overall that I have been abandoned by you The first time I was actually a passenger on you when you got into an accident. That was not fun. And why is it that random strange people always talk to…

Gluten Free Apple Crisp
It’s a tradition in my house to eat apple crisp for breakfast on Christmas morning. We used the same recipe for many years but when my mother discovered that she had a gluten intolerance we of course had to switch it up a bit. After searching on the internet for recipes I remained unsatisfied with everything I found. I instead decided to make my own using a few as templates as well as the recipe we always used. In our recipe we use a technique where we add cornstarch and water to the apples. I could not find this technique with any recipe but I like it as it gives more…

Cream Cheese Topped Gluten Free Coffee Cake
My mom’s birthday comes the day before the first day of winter. As I’ve mentioned before, she has a gluten allergy. Of course no birthday is complete without cake so I make her a special gluten free dessert. By the way I honestly started making this the second I got home from my exam. I think I went into baking withdrawal for those couple weeks that I was only studying. I found this recipe off Hey That Tastes Good. I changed it to match the types of flours I had and it still turned out amazing. This cake is absolutely delicious, you will not even believe that its gluten free! The base…

Gluten Free Oatmeal Almond Butter Cookies
My mom has a wheat allergy so naturally I bake a lot of gluten free things for her. Recently a gluten free diet has become increasingly popular as we are finding that the gluten in wheat products is covering our digestive tracts, resulting in less than optimal absorption of nutrients. Therefore, many people are beginning to believe that cutting out all gluten is healthy. This is good for my mom as now many companies are offering gluten free options. I really like this cookie recipe because not only does it not use any flour, all the ingredients are easily accessible. These cookies are delightfully crunchy and perfect for dunking into your beverage of…
