Happy Birthday To Me!
Over the past few years, I’ve really enjoyed making my own birthday cake. This is what I made last year – link here. So I wanted to keep that tradition alive and this year, I made a strawberry shortcake. I found a vanilla cake recipe online from Liv For Cake blog (recipe here). It was…
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
Happy Friday! It’s been so cold where I live, so I haven’t had much motivation to go outside. Instead, I stay in my warm house and bake! Today I made some chocolate zucchini muffins, the recipe is from the Bake Eat Repeat blog (link here) This is a double chocolate muffin (chocolate chips & cocoa…
Chocolate Bark
I think I’m in a chocolate mood. It’s funny, I don’t even have such a sweet tooth, but recently, I’ve been indulging a little more than usual. Nothing wrong with that though, as long as you don’t go overboard with anything, everything is good in moderation! If you missed my last post – PB &…
PB & B Bites
Tomorrow (December 16) is Chocolate Covered Anything Day. I’m celebrating with a super simple and healthy snack!

Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Cookies
Are you ready for another fall pumpkin post?? So last week I made that delicious Pumpkin Marinara Pasta (link here) but I still had lots of pumpkin puree leftover. I decided to make something sweet. I found this recipe for these cookies from the Momables website (link here). This was a very easy recipe to…
Honey Cake
I know I have posted about this honey cake before. It is made every year in my house for Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year). It is just such a delicious cake because is light and fluffy, and nicely sweetened, which is perfect for the occasion. This cake has 3 forms of sweetness – white sugar,…
Baked Peaches
Peaches might be my ultimate summer fruit. When they are in season, my family always buys a whole bunch of them… weekly. And they do not go to waste! Mostly, we just eat them fresh but sometimes, it’s nice to bake with them. I love making crisps/crumbles but sometimes you want a dessert that’s easy…
