Pumpkin Spice Pecan Oatmeal Blondies
I know that it still feels like the peak of summer, at least during the day, but the evening tells a different story. We have reached the time of year where somehow both heat and air conditioning make sense. It is a complicated season, but it is officially Almost Autumn, that liminal period that isn’t…

Blueberry Cream Pie
Hard as it is to believe, there are only a few weeks left of summer. Soon we will be fully bathed in pumpkin spice, but not today. Today there are still fresh blueberries to be had, and while they might not be as juicy and perfect as they were a month ago, they are ideal…

Beluga Lentil Salad with Feta, Pistachios, and Tomatoes
It would be an understatement to say that many places are having a bit of a warm season. Nerves are frayed, sunburns are everywhere, and there are a lot of people having a rough time. There is one thing that most people seem to agree on though: don’t you dare turn on the oven! This…

Simple Baked Croissant French Toast
There is something wonderful about the simple breakfasts often found in Europe. Just a flaky warm croissant and a perfect cup of coffee, enjoyed in a nice cafe while watching the world go by. In a well-intentioned attempt to recreate this experience, my husband picked up croissants from the grocery store bakery. They were… fine.…

Date Cake
This is my peaceful version of war cake, a cake that goes back at least until WWII. It didn’t lean too heavily on ingredients that may have been limited then, and honestly you won’t miss the eggs or milk. My favourite thing about this recipe is that it uses dates for both moisture and some…

Wednesday Night Brownies
Have you ever had one of those days where you think it is almost the weekend, only for someone to tell you that we are only halfway there? (Rude!) Then you get home, rummage around for some kind of treat, and realize your fridge has nothing in it but… vegetables. Never fear, there is a…

Lemon Rosemary Cake
It’s a funny time of year. You might leave in the morning in flip flops, only to come home later in a snowstorm. I can’t help you with what to wear on days like this, but I can tell you that this cake has you covered no matter what you are facing. It is warm…

Maple Pecan Granola
I know what you are thinking – oh fun, homemade granola. Maybe next we can make our own cereal? Hear me out though. Storebought granola never really gets it right for me. Sometimes the nuts are stale, sometimes the flavours aren’t my favourite, and the price can be unreasonably high for what is basically crunchy…

Upside Down Peach Cake with Cardamom
Where I am, this is a hard time of year. The novelty of winter has started to wear off but it is still bitterly cold, and we are ready for some really good fruits and vegetables but the only thing that is technically in season is jam. The solution to this problem can be found…

Make-Ahead Double Chocolate Cookies with Sourdough Discard
Never let anyone tell you that procrastination is a bad thing. If it weren’t for my tendency to put things off, I never would have discovered these incredible cookies. I originally planned to bake these the day I mixed up the dough, but life had other plans. The dough ended up chillaxing in the fridge…
