Cinnamon Buns
It is Easter weekend when I’m writing this post but apparently someone forgot to tell the weather. 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…

Herb Soda Bread
Soda bread is a crumbly, tender bread with a crisp crust. It doesn’t rely on yeast, so if you forget to start bread dough rising earlier in the day (who me?) it has your back. Soda bread can be on the sweet side, almost like a scone, or it can be savoury. This recipe definitely…

Cardamom Ginger Rolls
Where I live, we have just come through a bit of a cold snap. Nothing too serious, but just enough to justify a little extra baking and some warm spices. These are a slightly spicy, slightly less sweet riff on cinnamon rolls. In fact, if you were looking for cinnamon rolls and happened to land…

Sunflower Seed Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m sure I had a brilliant plan for the roasted, shelled and unsalted sunflower seeds that I found in the cupboard this morning. Salad toppers? Maybe. Something in a muffin? Seems more likely. Whatever that plan was, we may never know, but I believe I found something even better. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic…

Roasted Beet Salad with Feta and Oranges
Beets are a polarizing topic, but even if you are team no-beets, I encourage you to give them another chance. These aren’t the pickled beets from your childhood. Learning to love those was a hard road, but these are different. Instead of sharp and tangy, these are rich, earthy and savoury. Besides, chopping beets is…

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Sometimes the line between cupcakes and muffins gets a little blurry. Frosting and pretty decorations may signal a cupcake, but add chocolate chips and skip the icing, and you are definitely in muffin territory. Today I decided to lean in. No, I am not having a chocolate cupcake for breakfast. I am having a double…

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Casserole
Let’s all take a moment and acknowledge one of the unfortunate truths of the universe: sometimes the best tasting food isn’t the prettiest. I’m sure that given enough time someone could make this into an absolutely stunning dish, at home in a restaurant that has a whole galaxy of Michelin stars. I, however, don’t always…
