What I’ve Been Baking
Before I present to you tons of delicious goodies I just want to mention that I now have a Facebook account! Please head on over and like me please! Please The past while I have baked so many things thanks to some lovely days off. Too many for multiple posts and most I consider the rights to author bloggers so I thought I would share some of these treats with you in one post! Here we go… I made this cookie recipe from Sketch-free Vegan Eating the day after seeing the post. I changed the mix ins to sun flower seeds, peach, chocolate chips, cinnamon, and dried cranberries. I also used…

Everything Cookie Dough Hummus
I love desserts that taste decadent but are actually healthy. I especially love foods that are fun! This recipe is the normally savory hummus made sweet. Please do not think that chickpeas won’t go well with sweet things because they do! I have been wanting to make a cookie dough hummus for a long time and I wish that I had done this sooner. It tastes so good! Best of all this dessert hummus has everything in it! I don’t know about you but I’m crazy about adding multiple ingredients into dishes. I think it makes it tastier. Plus what could be easier than just throwing in a little something extra…

Frozen Prune-Butter Spheres of Joy
Its summer time! Doesn’t everything seem so much better in the summer? The days are warmer, sunnier, and longer. Days off feel so much better. Fruits and desserts taste sweeter. Rays of sun feel yummy on bare skin. My favorite summer treats are ice cream, iced coffee, and smoothies. The latter two I usually only have in the summer but ice cream I crave all year round. I wish I had some ice cream right now. Mmmm ice cream. Usually I still prefer having something to munch on then slurp so I made these fun little treats. This recipe is very similar to my Spheres of Joy but are placed in…

Chocolate Coconut Fudgies
“We’re all made up of the same energy as everything else in the world” – Jillian Michaels Hi guys, I’m currently ready Unlimited by Jillian Michaels and last night I read something beautiful in her book that I’d like to share with you. Jillian uses Quantum Physics to say that we (like everything else in the world) are made up of atoms. Atoms are made of pulsating energetic vibrations so this means that we each emit our own unique energy or vibrational frequency. This energy has certain wavelengths that change according to our will and consciousness. You may be wondering why this is important. In fact it is very important because it means that…

Vanilla Cashew Oat Milk (Snickerdoodle Milk)
Have you ever discovered a recipe but didn’t have a key ingredient so you went out of your way to buy that ingredient just so you could make it? That’s what I did when I saw this recipe a while ago. I’ve been thinking of making my own milk for some time and I thought that cashew milk sounded super yummy. The only thing was, I didn’t have any cashews! So I bought a huge jar of cashews to satisfy my desire to make this milk. Cats like Cashew Oat Milk too! My cat decided to make an appearance for this post. Her name is Blaky. Yes, that is the…

Gluten Free Baked Banana Doughnuts
I love doughnuts more than I care to admit. I first discovered this when I visited Japan. I was introduced to the iconic Mr.Donut shop and fell in love. I don’t think I lived before I had one of their doughnuts. They are made fresh, indescribably tasty, and have many unique flavours. I went to Mr.Donut many times and even got a Mr.Donut club membership card while I was there! I considered bringing a box of doughnuts home with me but my suitcase got too full. Obviously, I was ecstatic when I won a doughnut pan giveaway from See Jac Run. I have been wishing for a doughnut pan for ages! Thanks Jackie! Doughnut…

Coconut Cream Pie Pancakes
Hooray for coconut! I recently found some coconut flour at a new bulk store in my area. I have been intrigued by this interesting gluten free flour after seeing it on many other blogs. I knew that I had to try it! It seems to me that coconut is taking over our grocery stores. We can now get not only whole coconuts and coconut flour but also coconut milk, coconut water, shredded coconut, coconut sugar, and coconut oil just to name a few. And why not? Coconut has so many things going for it: its full of healthy fats, can lower bad cholesterol levels, provides a nutritional source of quick…

Breakfast for Royalty
I hope everyone has been able to catch a little bit of the royal wedding. I did not see it in live time but I have been watching highlights all day. I must say that it was the absolute perfect wedding! Kate and Will looked so elegant and happy. I love Kate’s perma-smile! She is a gorgeous bride. It’s great to see everyone so preoccupied with joy and love. The excitement makes me dream of my own fairy-tale wedding. It also makes me want to travel to London and get my own fascinator! I present to you a breakfast fit for Royalty. I’m not kidding when I say that I would love serving this to…

Spheres of Joy
It’s a combination you’ve probably seen countless times. Dates and nuts. Aren’t they just perfect together! I call these Spheres of Joy because they are like little sweet balls of energy. My mom calls them candy, so you can call them that too. But remember they are better than candy because they have no unhealthy fats or sugar in them. If its summer where you are, you should make these because they do not require the heat of the oven. Unfortunately for me it snowed about 20 cm here a day ago so I’ll be enjoying these with a warm cup of hot cocoa after a session of hot yoga.…

Frosted Double Chocolate Almond Oat Cake
Every now and then I come across a dish that makes me question everything I thought I knew about baking. This is one of those recipes. Its vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, and low in fat. It also happens to be incredibly tasty and moist. This is just the sort of thing I like to enjoy for a weekend breakfast. But don’t limit it to just that! It also makes a great dessert. I adapted this from Katie’s Cookie Dough Oatmeal Cake. It’s easily adaptable so feel free to make any substitutions and additions you like. Frosted Double Chocolate Almond Butter Oat Cake Two 1/2 cup servings 1/2 cup…
