Banana bread is seriously one of the easiest baked treats ever. Whenever you have bananas that are beginning to get too ripe to eat, stick them in the freezer. They’re perfect for recipes like muffins, bread and cookies, plus you’re not wasting food. I just thawed 4 frozen bananas and poured them into the batter;…

Chocolate Walnut Clusters
The perfect storm of mishaps created these clusters. I was missing ingredients, didn’t have a recipe to follow and thought they would turn out to be a disaster 100%. Luckily for me, they turned out and now I’ve got a new bite-sized treat! Compared to most store-bought cookies, these are actually relatively healthy. They have…
Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal
One of my favourite after-school snacks as a kid was banana smothered in peanut butter. To this day that flavour combo is one of my favourites: in sandwiches, smoothies, and now, oatmeal. I got this recipe from Pastry Affair and I’m very pleased! There’s some very yummy-looking photos to go along with her recipe so…
Glazed Baked Bourgogne with Walnuts
If you’re a fan of cheese, you’re a friend of mine. Bourgogne is a french cheese similar to brie, but more potent in taste—especially when melted. The texture is basically the same as brie (soft, runny when warmed up, gooey) but there’s a bit of a blue-cheesy type taste as well. My mom once glazed…
Pumpkin-Walnut Granola
After making this granola, you’ll be laughing at how much you used to spend on it in stores (in between shoving it in your mouth). You could get really creative with this recipe if you wanted to—I had the urge to add sweetened coconut, dried cranberries and toasted almonds but I wanted to keep it…
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are a Southern classic which are gluten-free, easy to make and can be used in a handful of different types of dishes. Just to be clear, green tomatoes aren’t a different kind of tomato from red ones. They’re just unripened tomatoes, which are harder and a bit more sour. When fried, they…
Greek Scrambled Eggs with Feta, Tomato and Dill
For any of you who have grown your own veggies, you know that there’s no comparison to store-bought. Yesterday I came home to ripe tomatoes on the vine and red onions…they taste nothing like ones from grocery stores. They smell better, taste better and it’s nice to know you’re eating something that came from your…
Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups are a simple, well-loved treat that are fun to make. They’re easy, cheap, addictive and you don’t need an oven. I’m in. My friend brought these up to my cottage earlier this summer, and needless to say they were devoured. I’ve always been a fan of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups but I…
Deep Fried Pickles with Old-Style Mustard and Oregano Dip
Deep fried pickles are like a cult classic in culinary terms. Imagine a movie that someone suggests to you, and you’re like “It looks weird, I don’t know…” but then you watch it and it’s fantastic. That is what happens with deep fried pickles every time. Most people think pickles should be eaten raw because…
Guacamole Grilled Cheese
I can eat grilled cheese all day long. I’m also frequently craving guacamole. Stick those two together and I’m going into a food coma. I like my cheese to be as melted as possible in my sandwich, so I normally take a lid from a large pot and place it over top of the skillet….
