It’s been a few weeks since my last post, which is the first time in almost 3 years I’ve fallen so behind. I’m now back on track, and I have a bunch of awesome posts coming up to make up for lost time. As my regular readers may know, each year I harvest a small…

Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites
Nothing marks the start of warm weather like frozen goodies. Chocolate and banana is a pretty unbeatable combo. You can get creative and use whatever toppings you want. I did half with sprinkles, half with melted peanut butter chips. That way I still had variation, but if I wanted a small sweet snack I could…
Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
I don’t know how I managed to get this far without having an 8×8 pan, but I finally bought one. I was always adjusting baking times to bread pans or long casserole dishes—the results were…edible? But not as good as this. The most useful $7 spent in a long time, not doubt. Brownies are easy…
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…
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…
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,…
Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
The best thing about Valentine’s Day is undoubtedly the cookies. I got the cookie recipe from Created by Diane and just altered the choice of toppings. I used crushed hot chili flakes on top of semi-sweet chocolate (I’ve always wanted to try it) and it tastes really good! You can use crushed nuts, candy, sea…
Peanut Butter S’more Brownies
Love s’mores? Me too. I made these for my friend’s birthday and just cut them up into squares instead of baking a birthday cake. I’m personally not a huge fan of just plain ol’ cake, so these were a major upgrade. These brownies are pretty easy except beware of burning your marshmallows. Kind of like…
Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Muffins
I often sort my meals out by food group to make sure I get the right amount of foods from each category every day. These muffins are the perfect breakfast for that because they have grain, dairy, vegetables and protein. For the past few years, I’ve been in the bad habit of only making muffins…
