Dairy-free Skor Bar Cups
It didn’t feel right ending Health-oween without paying tribute to the Skor bar. Just like the vegan Twix bar we enjoyed last week, I wanted to make a Skor treat that I could feel better about eating. Heck, I just wanted to be able to taste a Skor bar again. And taste I did… again,…
No Bake Vegan Twix Bars
I gotta say, I was a sight for sore eyes yesterday. I had chocolate behind my ears, my house smelled like bacon, there was grease all down my shirt and I was hobbling around with a slipper missing off my left foot. It wasn’t pretty. But it was all in the name of the Twix…
Vegan Caramel Popcorn Ant Hills
Growing up in a small town had it’s benefits. #1 – We knew everyone. #2 – When it came time for Halloween and we received homemade treats while trick-or-treating, we were allowed to eat them. I remember the first Halloween we spent in the big city. Mom and Dad decided to move us ON Halloween…

Chocolate ganache, creme brulee, ladyfingers, each recipe more delectable than the last but laden with every single ingredient that I’m…
Apple Picking and Gluten-free Apple Crisp (oat-free and nut-free)
One of the things I realized when I was back in Alberta a couple of weeks ago is that change takes time to accept and meld into our lives. It’s okay to dig our heels in the mud once in awhile and wish things were easier, cry a bunch, and hibernate from the world. Then,…
Cranberry Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Is it too early to bring in the sugar cookie? I was a bit worried when I started planning this recipe, but Joy of Baking put my mind at ease, They are an American favorite and although they were once made primarily during the Christmas season, they are now a year round favorite. Notice the…
Vegan + Gluten-free Pumpkin Mousse Squares
I’m back in Montreal and am more grounded than I’ve been in a long time. The opportunity to go home to Alberta for a couple of days was exactly what I needed to put things into perspective and begin to move on from my life there. I got to spend a fair deal of time…
Chocolate Kale Chips with For The Love of Food
Good morning! Can you believe it’s already Thursday? I’ve spent so much time organizing the new place that I seem to have lost track of time somewhere along the way. Our boxes are unpacked, pictures are hung, and our separate offices are setup just the way we like them. I even have a little space…
