Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
I take my Sunday pancakes very seriously. Today we’re having fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The secret ingredient to the best pancakes is buttermilk which makes them light, soft and fluffy with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Instead of syrup, serve them with a slather of Nutella and cookie butter and you will be the…
Read MoreBanana Buttermilk Pancakes
Sunday’s are for pancakes. These light and fluffy banana buttermilk pancakes are my favourite, made even better when served with a dollop of labneh, berries and maple syrup.
Read MoreMatzo Granola
Matzo granola is another Passover breakfast option or just a delicious snack to eat by the handful. It’s super easy to make with small pieces of toasted matzo mixed with assorted nuts, dates, raisins, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle a handful over your yogurt with fresh berries for a nutritious breakfast that…
Read MoreBanana Pumpkin Loaf
Breaking up the matzo consumption with a banana pumpkin breakfast loaf that’s Passover friendly. After one slice of this super moist and very flavourful cake, you might even forget it’s Passover. The recipe calls for a combination of almond and coconut flour. Also there was baking powder in the ingredient list, which I omitted as…
Read MoreCheesecake-In-A-Jar
It’s my birthday this weekend and I’m celebrating with a cheesecake-in-a-jar bar. It’s so easy to make these little cheesecake jars, that are so pretty and delicious especially when there are all dressed up. The cheesecake jars are baked in a water bath. This helps keep the tops from cracking and gives the cheesecakes a…

Have you tried baked oatmeal? How about baked oatmeal cinnamon roll? This baked oatmeal is full of soft, chewy and creamy texture. It’s made with porridge oats and other wholesome ingredients – walnuts, raisins, banana and maple syrup and topped off with coconut yogurt cream cheese frosting. Oh yes…this is a good one! It’s kind…
Read MoreCorn and Tomato Tart
This Corn and Tomato Tart screams summer because nothing compares to the taste of homegrown tomatoes and local corn during our short summer season. The tart has a cornmeal base, which gives a lovely texture and flavour. Serve this with a salad of tender greens and a glass of chilled white wine for a lovely summer…
Read MoreCinnamon Roll Muffins
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love cinnamon rolls. I have a deep love for all yeasted buns, but one cannot live on cinnamon rolls alone. These cinnamon roll muffins offer all the flavours but they have been transformed into a healthier version by adding whole grains. The batter is filled with a brown sugar…
Read MoreMushroom, Green Onion, Feta and Dill Quiche
Quiche is a most underrated brunch dish. This easy quiche starts with store bought flaky pastry … and that’s ok. The flaky crust is filled with fluffy eggs, and can really add anything you want to the mixture. I had assorted mushrooms, green onions and herbs in the fridge, so that’s what I used. Of…
Read MoreCaramel Apple Pull-Apart Bread
On a recent grocery delivery I received one of those biscuit dough tubes (which I didn’t order). This seems to happen fairly often with my online grocery orders. I’m sure you’ve had that experience in the past year. It’s certainly been interesting having someone else do my grocery shopping. I really appreciate the service that my…
