Blueberry Coconut Milk Rice Pudding

This easy rice pudding recipe only takes a few minutes to put together and is so simple – especially if you have a rice cooker! Childhood desserts… what’s your favourite? I don’t know if I can pick one but, the one I have been craving recently is my mom’s rice pudding recipe. Rice pudding has been on my brain since visiting Vij’s Rangoli a few weeks

Blueberry Cardamom Pie

In my backyard, I have four blueberry bushes.  Three of them produce a small handful of berries every year.  Just enough to toss in some yogurt or on my morning granola.  Or just eat while I’m picking. The fourth bush, is a power producer.  It produces enough berries most years to make a few smoothies or a couple of batches of blueberry muffins. This year,

Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

Look to the cookie! That’s what Seinfeld said. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved I couldn’t agree more. Of course, Jerry’s black and white cookie episode didn’t exactly work out for him, if y’all remember correctly.  But cookies definitely are my emotional eating food of choice. My cookie production has slowed down dramatically over the last year,

Rhubarb Citrus Hemp Seed Muffins

Rhubarb has arrived.  For a short time only! It’s been ridiculously early this year, as has everything else.  But I don’t mind because I’m tired of eating mealy apples and bananas.  I am ready for fresh produce to start rolling in and a little extra variety in my refrigerator.  Because I hate mealy apples. If an apple isn’t crisp and doesn’t have that satisfying juicy

Apple Raisin Custard Tarts

It’s February already.  Not even February 1st.  But February 7th. We are already a quarter of the way through February. This freaks me out a little because it feels like, once again, the year is in danger of slipping by too quickly! So I thought it would be a good idea to check in with my word for 2016: minimize. I’ve slowly started going through my

Friday Tea & Chocolate: PB&J Cookies With Reese Spread

This week’s Friday Tea and Chocolate is all about the chocolate with PB&J Cookies made with Reese Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread. This post is sponsored by Hershey’s Canada. I’ll admit it… I’ve been avoiding baking cookies lately for one reason and one reason only… I tend to eat them all after baking them.  Which would be fine, I suppose, except that I can’t really afford a

Classic Recipes: Banana Bread

There are certain recipes that we all have in our recipe boxes or repertoires.  The classics.  It almost seems silly to blog them because, well… the world has about 10,000 banana bread recipe already.  What could I possibly have to offer up that’s new? Probably nothing. Be that as it may, I love banana bread and I’ve always loved my mom’s recipe for it. Let’s

Mince Tarts for Christmas

Little mince tarts are a holiday classic and they’re so fast to put together – if you cheat a little (ok… a lot, haha) You all know my feelings on pastry if you read the blog regularly.  We don’t get along. It’s a love hate relationship.  I love eating pastry.  But I do not like making it – it never works.  Maybe I need to take
