Cereal as a decoration on desserts is pretty great. I got mixed reactions on these ones since they’re a little off the beat and path, but I like them. These are best made day-of to ensure the freshness and crunchiness of your cereal (“fresh” being a relative term here), but they still tasted good the…

Pulled Spaghetti Squash Tacos
Embrace laziness with tacos. The ultimate crowd pleaser and stress-free dinner with room for picky eaters. These are a great vegetarian option for summer potlucks, weeknight dinners, etc. because they’re light and easy to prep in advance. Realistically you could make everything in advance then just heat up the squash and shells when you’re ready…
Low-Sodium Potato Waffles
If you’re anything like me, your stomach can’t handle a sugar-overload kind of breakfast. I love pancake, waffles and french toast just as much as the next person, but I actually prefer them later in the day or I’ll probably feel like I should just crawl back into bed. These waffles give you something fun…
Quick Cowboy Cookies
What’s a cowboy cookie? It’s essentially like an oatmeal cookie went on Pimp My Ride (oh hey, 2004 MTV reference) and became extra-awesome. This cookie mix was actually given to me in a jar as a gift by my boyfriend at Christmas with the instructions attached. Just like these brownies I made a few months…
Deep Dish Whisky Cream Cheese Brownies
I know, the title is a bit of a mouthful. But when you have whisky, cream cheese and rich walnut brownies all swirled into one enormous mess, you want to make sure people know what they’re in for. My boyfriend gave me a “brownie in a mason jar” kit for Christmas, which is basically all…
Japanese Cold Noodle Salad (Hiyashi Chuka)
Put down everything and pick up your forks because you’re not going to want to miss out on this one. I made two versions of this dish: one with soba noodles and one with flat rice noodles. For whatever reason, the rice noodles clumped together and remained hardened in certain spots even though they were…
Classic Restaurant-Style Burritos (a.k.a. the Best Damn Burritos You’ll Ever Make at Home)
Looking at the post below, I’m sure the long list of ingredients/lengthy-looking instructions may be off-putting when you can just grab a burrito for $7 elsewhere. It’s really not as difficult as it may appear (I promise) and once you’ve got a knack for making homemade burritos you’ll never want to stop. I put down…
Homemade Nutella
Nutella is one of those magical foods that makes everything amazing. Waffles, cookies, icing, peanut butter sandwiches, spoons…it’s all up to your imagination really. I was dreading removing the skins from the hazelnuts because it seemed like kind of a tedious task, but once you roast them, they come off very easily. This process takes…
Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips
This was my first attempt at red velvet anything and I went into it with a blank slate. I honestly had no idea what made something “red velvet” and how it differentiated from any other colourful cookies. Here’s the long and the short of it: it’s not very different at all. Essentially, red velvet is…
Dragon Fruit and Avocado Salsa
Sweeter salsas are a nice way to cool off on a summer day because they’re light, fresh and healthy. No added salt is a huge bonus, plus if you’re eating them with tortillas/tacos/crackers, you won’t need the salt anyways. I find that some people prefer a stronger onion flavour in salsa, but chives are a…
