Carrot Cake

Happy Easter!

This year, instead of a big Easter dinner, my family and I had Easter brunch with James and a few of our neighbours. This carrot cake is the result of my desire to contribute to our meal, a sudden realization that I have less than a month until my raw commitment commences, and an abundance of dehydrated almond pulp left over from making almond milk.

Strawberry Cinnamon Fruit Leather Hearts

I wanted to give out heart shaped fruit leathers as Valentine's gifts this year, but I ate them all. 

Pictures of Christmas Passed

School starts tomorrow, and I'm feeling some post-Christmas blues... This was supposedly our last Christmas in my childhood home, so I tried to capture as much of it as I could. 

Sugar Cookies

Another Christmas has come and gone....boooo. It went by too quickly—I never had a chance to fully prepare. Next year, I resolve to avoid committing to too many big projects, so I have more time to realize the excitement of the season...definitely no more giant, sugary, baking trays.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Dear blog, sorry for the neglect. I thought December would be a month full of blog posts about Christmas baking and crafting. Turns out the month was too full of baking and crafting, and I've had really no time to do anything else.

Pumpkin Squares Make for a Happy Halloween

Thankful for Fruit Crumble

James and I originally made this crumble in the summer. We were lazy, so we limited it to ingredients I already had in the house. I wish I had had time to post this recipe earlier in the summer, because my filling of choice is a bit seasonal, but alas, summer is over and so is peach season.

What about santa's cookies? I suppose parents eat those too?

Only something like 350 days until next Christmas!

Christmas Party Time!

I had a belated Christmas party the other night. I spent all day cooking and baking the recipes I have been bookmarking for months and my hours spent food blog reading paid off!

Almost all of the recipes I used had sugar in them. I figured this was a rare occasion to bake some fun, sugary recipes and not have to worry about who would eat them. Originally, I wasn't going to eat any of them, making baking so difficult. I had to keep wiping my fingers instead of licking them... Anyways, I made them all without tasting, but ultimately decided I couldn't really post about the recipes if I had no idea what they tasted. I had small bites of each.
