Raspberry Lemon Scones
My parents like inviting me over to their house for weekend brunches when Kevin’s not in town. They say it’s because they miss me and figure I could use some company, but I know it’s just because they’re hoping I’ll bring muffins, cookies, coffee cake, cinnamon buns, or apricot breakfast rolls along with me. I…
Masala Dosa Take I
*flop* Just like the gluten-free samosa, I’m struggling with making dosa. It’s hard to accept that I learned how to make both of these dishes in India, but can’t seem to replicate the process in my own kitchen no matter how hard I try. First error in all this dosa making attempting was trying to…
Oil-free Upside Down Banana Bread Pancakes + Maple Cream
One of the benefits to having a boyfriend that travels a lot for work is that I get to partake in girly activities that I can’t generally find the time for when he’s at home. Like having 2 bubble baths in a day, drowning myself in reruns of the Gilmore Girls, and going to Eveline…

Congratulations, Megan for winning the $50 Amazon gift card! Your feedback has already been used to make changes on the blog and will help me in future updates, too. Thanks for participating! Adding lentils to trail mix was a little out there. Adding lentils to granola is even more so. Oh ya, I went there….
Gluten-free Cinnamon Buns 2.0
They say good things come in threes. Over the course of last 6 days, I’ve developed two different cinnamon bun recipes yielding over 65 individual cinnamon buns, a stuffed freezer, and a very, very happy cinnamon bun loving boyfriend. I think it’s safe to say that good things can come in twos as well and…
Gluten-free Cinnamon Buns
How was your weekend? Ours was relaxing and mellow, just what the doctor ordered. I was so tired come Friday that our plan to hang out with friends ground to a halt when I accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 7pm. I woke up around 4:30am on Saturday; as I do every weekend, but…
Cardamom Vanilla Porridge + Exciting News!
We’ve been experiencing dreadfully cold mornings with rain, snow and lots of wind. Chilly mornings don’t exactly put me in the mood for a cold smoothie for breakfast, but they’re guaranteed to bring on a craving for a bowl of warm and nourishing porridge! I could have gone for the obvious oat-based porridge, but I…
Grain-free Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Cake + Vegan Version
The day I realized that hemp protein powder could be transformed into a cake was a moment I’ll never forget. I wish I could say that there was a master plan behind it all, but I’d be lying. I found it by complete accident. It was a blustery November evening and I was craving a…
Apricot Delight Breakfast Rolls
The long weekend is just days away. Do you have any plans? Ours will be somewhere along the lines of cleaning the backyard, going over to my parents’ house for Easter brunch, and stuffing our faces with chocolate. I could fib and say I’ll only have a couple of foiled mini eggs, but I’d be…
Baked Oatmeal to Go
Breakfast has always been a challenge in our house. I love dried fruit, Kevin has an aversion to it, I enjoy a sweet breakfast, he’d rather no sugar at all. Needless to say, it’s rare that we can enjoy the same breakfast together. And that’s if Kevin even has the time to eat in the…
