The day has arrived. The day that I’ve been brainstorming ideas for all month. Its Pi Day. I missed it last year, so I knew I had to concoct something this year. I scoured cookbooks and magazines and kept coming back to this. Cinnamon Bun Pie. It’s far from your average pie. It has a…

That’s right, brownies and cookies combined into one dessert. No more tough decisions to make! These brownie cookies combine the best of both worlds; the…
Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
It’s no secret I love chocolate. I’ve mentioned this many times before. If it has chocolate, I want it and these muffins were no exception. Generally, if chocolate is involved, it means it’s not very good for you. Well today, I’m here to put that myth to rest. These beauties contain no wheat flour, making…

High Tea at Hotel Saskatchewan
On Saturday, my sister and I went to High Tea at Hotel Saskatchewan. Hotel Sask is a historic hotel located in downtown Regina built in the 1920’s and is easily the most iconic hotel in our province. The Royals (re: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and so-on and so-forth) stay at the hotel when they’re in…
Peanut Butter and Banana Chia Seed Pudding
Everyone knows what chia seeds are. We all grew up with Ch-ch-ch-Chia Pets, or at least knew someone who had one. By now, everyone knows they’re good for us to eat, so instead of wasting them on a failed attempt at growing some hair on hopeless Homer Simpson, you might as well sprinkle them on…
Butter Baby Hot Chocolate
I’m sure we’re all sick of winter by now, I know I am. This Polar Vortex has stuck around all winter and it’s been brutally cold for us all season. I decided to brave the cold and met my sister for brunch. As I walked back to my car after our meal, my face was…
February Musings
I’ve been lovin’ life lately! I’ve had lots of free time and I’ve been taking advantage of it. Travelling: My sister and I took a weekend road trip up to Canmore/Banff. I scratched another item off my bucket list: Skating on Lake Louise. I could have spent the whole day on the ice, but…
Balsamic Glazed Tenderloin
I’m a big fan of meals that require very little prep time, which is why I love marinating meat. I can throw everything together in a Ziplock bag and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Come supper time, everything is ready to go! You can’t ask for an easier or more perfect weeknight meal….
Baked Doughnuts
The first thing people said when they saw these was, “woah, you made Simpson’s doughnuts!” And in a way, I did, but that certainly wasn’t the intention. I just really like hot pink and sprinkles, but don’t we all? Perhaps more than hot pink and sprinkles, I enjoy a better-for-you twist on an old classic….
