Recipe: Easy Valentine’s Day Cookies (Gluten-Free)

February 10, 2017

Ok guys, maybe I’m super lame but I love Valentine’s Day. Not because I’m a romantic, but because I love the colours, decorations and themed stuff! (Seriously, theme parties are my favourite.) I just love all the cute stuff. Or maybe it’s because my birthday is the day before, who knows.

When I was growing up that Valentine’s was always really fun and something that I always looked forward to. We were taught that Valentine’s was a day to celebrate all the people you loved — friends, family, pets, you name it! We would always make cards for everyone, some sort of themed craft and of course, cookies.

Because who doesn’t love cookies?!

Recipe: Candy Cane Pancakes (gluten-free)

December 5, 2016

‘Tis the season for Candy Cane everything! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in full Holiday mode, thanks to all those delightfully terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. (I know, I know, super corny. But they are so bad they are good!) We had our very first snowfall today too!

As a result, all I want to do is wrap presents, stay in my onesie and work by our Christmas tree. I’m also craving everything chocolate-y and peppermint. So naturally, I started baking!

Recipe: Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes

November 1, 2016

It’s no secret that I love everything related to fall. (See Exhibit A and Exhibit B here.) Naturally, with it being fall, I am craving pumpkin everything and I’m on a mission to do as many fall things as I can before it’s over.

Pumpkin bread, scones, cake, ice cream, candles, I love it all! And then I thought to myself, what is the one thing I like more than pumpkin? Tea of course, and then it hit me: Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes!!!

I have to admit that I was inspired by one of my favourite teas for this particular recipe… of course I’m referring to DAVIDsTea’s Pumpkin Chai! It is seriously the perfect tea for fall and warming the soul up after a crisp, fall day. I love the mix of sweet pumpkin, cinnamon and chai spices. It’s the perfect balance and drink for fall.

A Fond Farewell to Fall

October 28, 2016

Fall technically isn’t over yet, but since I live in Canada… it’s totally over. And I’m really bummed about it.

Okay, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here but honestly it feels like we barely even had fall this year, it was still hot for half of September and now it’s nearly the end of October and it started to get colder, darker earlier and I can just feel winter coming and I’m not ready for it. Especially considering that it is supposed to be a brutal one.
