I brought one of these stacked up salads to school today and let me tell you, it got quite a few comments. The recipes are all flexible and the salad stays fresh for days in your fridge so you don’t have to scramble for lunches in the morning. I saw this idea from both The Daily…

These are all recipes I have created or adapted myself and tested out!
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Ginger Cookie Crumble Crust
My possible favourite all-time smell is the middle of a pumpkin. And my favourite type of cake is cheesecake. And I’m a ginger. THIS IS MY KIND OF CAKE. I have never used a spring form pan up until now, and I love how easy they are BUT I used the wrong size so the…
Butternut Squash and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
If you are a fellow vegetarian, you can sympathize with the pains of smelling turkey around Thanksgiving. First BBQ season, now this?! Torture. So my goal is to come up with recipes that will make up for the lack of post-turkey napping. This particular recipe is my mom’s and she doesn’t eat any gluten, so…
Avocado Egg Cups
Breakfast! If you are feeling up to something a little unconventional for breakfast and want a bunch of protein, try this out. Eggs baked into avocados with cheese, sesame, salsa and spices. Be warned: the avocado takes on a smoky flavour after it’s done being cooked, so if that isn’t your thing I don’t recommend…
Naan Pesto Pizza
Just a very basic recipe that takes 10 minutes. Not a whole lot of work was put into this, just quick, fun and thought it would be worth a short post! Store-bought pizza dough has never really been my friend. I love the way it smells, and working with it is always fun, but I…
Fresh Basil Pesto
Before anything else, I would just like to officially say that I am a Workaholics addict. I can not get enough of that show and the new season is out next week so I can’t wait! Anyways, I’m trying my best to get every last bit of fresh stuff from my garden. The one thing…
Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wait…what? That’s right. Chocolate chip cookies with oreos baked in the middle. You can wipe the drool off your desk now. I saw the recipe for this on Picky Palate weeks ago and nearly had a heart attack from how genius it was. What sort of magic was this? Two of my favourite cookies mixed…
Autumn Borscht (Beet Soup)
Ok well first of all, I realize my description of this blog is “Adventures of a music, food and photography lover” yet I have not mentioned music ONCE! So without further ado, this week’s musical obsession is electro-swing. I was listening to a playlist on 8 Tracks called Electro Swing #2 and it has pretty…
Homemade Tomato Sauce
Fall’s gradually rolling in and it seems the second that happens everyone’s appetite changes from light to heavy. Could be the return to school for some, maybe the fact that summer is gone for another year, but either way a salad for dinner isn’t cutting it this September. My summer harvest (I guess you could…
Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Well, so far I have posts for dessert, dinner and appetizers but no breakfast. So here it is! I’m not really one to cook big breakfasts in the morning unless I have lots of time, so it’s either a bagel or nothing. These muffins have been quite the life saver for many years in the…
