A few posts ago I mentioned my interest in returning to a healthier lifestyle. I was determined to be more active and to eat properly. So I really can’t explain ...

Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew with Couscous or Brown Rice
After my trip to Australia and New Zealand, I was ready to get back into healthy eating. You see, I was on the “fish and chips” diet over there. It’s very popular. So are muffins. Needless to say, the incredible amount of walking we did over the 6 week period was not enough to counteract [...]
Chocolate Chip Cookies Stuffed with Tim Tams
I’m finally back after an extended break as I was traveling through Australia and New Zealand for the past 6 weeks! What an amazing trip! I fell in love with the scenery and thoroughly enjoyed sampling the wonderful food. Most notably, the tim tam. Tim tams are famous in Australia and are now recognized internationally! [...]
Auntie Eva’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
My Great Auntie Eva was a phenomenal baker. She always made sure to bake us a fresh batch of cookies or mandelbrot when we visited her apartment or invited her over for dinner. I was never able to track down any of her recipes, and as time passed I was losing hope that I ever [...]
Sopapilla Cheesecake (Birthday Extravaganza Day 3)
This is my final post for Andria’s birthday week of sweets. It has been fun preparing so many desserts but I have now realized how much I love my Friday afternoons to bake. I am just too rushed and too hungry when I get home from work. Not to mention the lighting for photography is [...]
Fancy Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle (Birthday Extravaganza Day 2)
Here is my second post for Andria’s birthday week. Given that the cake pops took a lot of time to prepare on Sunday, I was hoping to tackle a recipe that would be fast and easy. A dessert that could be prepared after dinner and before starting this week’s Bachelor episode (sad but true). I [...]
Cake Pops and a Birthday Baking Extravaganza (Day 1)
My co-worker Andria deserves some credit for the creation of this blog. It was back in April 2011 – we were sitting at our desks side by side, and I was itching to find a creative outlet. We brainstormed for a while and finally agreed that a blog would be the perfect opportunity to combine [...]
How to… Make Your Own Hummus
As a vegetarian, I am constantly searching for sources of protein. Hummus has always been a favourite dish – it’s healthy, filling and portable. I will often take the snack size Sabra Hummus packages to work with a bag of baby carrots and it’s the perfect afternoon snack! I once tried to make my own [...]
Skillet-Baked Monkey Bread
I literally spend hours and hours every week browsing recipes online, only posting those I’ve tried and really loved so my readers can be happy with what they find here. While this blog allows me to be creative (photography, writing, etc) I have never posted a recipe that I’ve created myself. If you’ve read my [...]
Banana Crumble Muffins
I had a really hard decision to make this week. I had about 6 recipes I wanted to try out but only had enough time to bake one. In the end, I went with a banana crumble muffin because it was super easy and I had all the ingredients at home. It was also an [...]
Martha’s Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes
Oreos –> Check. Cheesecake –> Check. Cupcakes –> oh man. Martha, you’ve done it again. Here we have a simple oreo cookie as the crust (I’m ashamed to say I could only find the 30% less fat cookie box and have therefore unintentionally made this dessert lower calories). Then we have cheesecake with Oreo bits [...]
