Flaxseed Chocolate Chip Cookies
There are plenty of reasons to eat more flaxseeds. According to people who know about these things they are really good for you… seriously, look it up! (Don’t take health advice from me, I’m the person tempting you to eat chocolate chip cookies.) What I will tell you is that these are not your usual…

Enchilada-Inspired Wraps with Tofu, Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans
These are savoury, a little bit spicy, a little bit saucy, vegetarian (and vegan) friendly, and just make a perfect dinner. They are also beyond stubborn when it comes time to take them out of the pan. It took an embarrassing number of attempts to get one out that looked even remotely good enough to…

Smoky and Savoury Roasted Lentils
It only takes one can of lentils and a few spices for you to get these delicious little spiced crunchy bits. They are fantastic as a salad topper or sprinkled over hummus. They are also good on their own and tend to mysteriously disappear when left in the cupboard. Enjoy! Makes about 1.5 cups Ingredients:…

It is gently snowing and any eggs the Easter bunny leaves behind would freeze before they could be collected and put in baskets. Traditionally this would be the time of year for hot cross buns. Maybe someday, but…

Pumpkin, Date and Walnut Bread
I know, at least in my part of the world we are about as far away from pumpkin spice season as you can get. Before we step fully into spring and away from the seasons of coziness and sweaters, let’s give pumpkin one more chance to shine. Makes 1 loaf Ingredients: Directions: Notes:

Old Fashioned Apple Pie
Some days just call for pie, don’t you think? This is the kind of pie that your (or my) grandmother used to make. It is unfussy, just a bunch of apples and cinnamon lounging in a flaky all-butter crust, waiting for just the right scoop of vanilla ice cream or slice of sharp cheddar cheese.…

Pupcakes!
Three years ago this week we brought home our newest family member from an animal shelter in a nearby town. It was a rough car trip for everyone involved but worth every white-knuckled second! It may feel like a lot of work to make frosted cupcakes for a dog, but I promise it is worth…
