Cake batter in cookies is one of the greatest baking discoveries I’ve come across on the internet. My perfect cookie is soft, chewy, and colourful. These cookies check off all three of those requirements (plus they smell AMAZING) so I’m devouring them pretty quickly. This recipe is directly from Sally’s Baking Addiction, just like my…

These are all recipes I have created or adapted myself and tested out!
Creamy Avocado Pesto
If you want a good variation from tomato sauce or store-bought pesto, I’d suggest making this. It’s raw, vegan, gluten-free and fast to make—pretty much a health nut’s dream. I got this recipe from a food blog called Oh She Glows, and it turned out great. It’s simple but packs a lot of flavour, and…
Crispy Baked Portobello Mushroom Fries
These fries go against the conventional idea of a “fry” in all the best ways. Mushroom slices coated with panko, cheese and spices and baked until they’re crispy and perfect. Cover anything in panko and I can almost guarantee it will taste good. These are a nice variation from regular fries for a few reasons. For one…
Spanakopita Triangles
If you’re having vegetarians over to your house and you need an appetizer, this is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. These bite-sized savoury pastries will save in the freezer for up to a month, and they take under 15 minutes to bake once they’re prepared. The only real difficulty is folding the phyllo sheets into triangles—this…
Penny’s Potato Soup
I made a pot of this soup thinking I could eat it for lunch for the rest of the week, and it didn’t even make it one day. Everyone in my house kept eating it so I made a second pot the next day. This recipe is from a family friend (hence Penny’s Potato Soup)…
Sweet Potato Poutine
Poutine is a Canadian gem that’s pretty open-ended in terms of toppings. But have you ever tried subbing in sweet potato fries instead of regular potatoes? Mind blown. Companies such as Smoke’s Poutinerie have explored creative toppings for their poutine, but they deep fry their ingredients and have limited vegetarian options. This recipe uses baked…
Rosemary and Sea Salt Baked Beet Chips
It’s been raining a lot where I live lately, and I happen to also be studying for exams, so the mix of those two things means eating lots of junky food. Snacking is inevitable. With this in mind, I figured I should probably make a healthier munchie so I’m not eating garbage all the time….
Energy Boost Smoothie
If you’re like me, sometimes eating is the last thing I want to do in the morning. When you have to be out the door in a rush or if you’re just hungover, eggs and toast isn’t exactly ideal. That’s why smoothies are the greatest breakfast ever. Kiwi, blueberry, strawberry, orange and peanut butter. Simple,…
Sun-Dried Tomato and Red Bean Quesadillas
Quesadillas are one of the easiest and versatile lunches you can make. They re-heat really well so you can take them for lunch, they taste good with dozens of different sauces and you can fill them with essentially whatever you want. This quesadilla is for a single serving but you can just multiply the ingredients…
Chocolate Hummus
I went to the One of a Kind Show recently and among the 450+ vendors there, the food booths were some of the most impressive (and affordable). One stand was selling a dozen different kinds of hummus, one of them being chocolate. I thought it was weird, but I tried it anyways because most things…
