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…

Maple Soy Roasted Chickpeas
Today’s post is a quick one, but I had to tell you about these shockingly delicious roasted chickpeas. I know, that is a big ask of chickpeas, but please trust me, you will be amazed at how good these are. These are incredibly easy to make. The only down-side is that they need to marinate…

Carrot Walnut Muffins with Red Lentils
Carrots for breakfast? If they are good enough for Bugs Bunny, they are good enough for me. Especially if those carrots come in the form of spiced muffins with crunch walnuts. These muffins are like little Trojan horses, but instead of sneaking in soldiers they sneak in fiber and protein. Don’t worry about that though,…

Easy Chocolate Cake
This cake practically makes itself, but no one needs to know that. They don’t need to know that it only requires one bowl, or that you can prepare it in a flash. They also don’t need to know if you happened to make a little bit more cake than you served, just saying… Makes 1…

Easy Homemade Bread
This is not fancy bread. There are no precisely weighed ingredients, sculpted loaf pans or sourdough starters passed down through generations here. Instead, this is a low-fuss bread with ingredients you may already have that will quietly rise on the counter while you are doing other things. It will work with your schedule and in…
