Just like I’ve done for all my previous cookbook challenges, I will talk about my thoughts and favourite recipes from the Brave New Meal book. This book is very similar in style to Thug Kitchen 101 because it’s the same authors, so it has the wild vulgar language and humour. It obviously is still a…

Peanut Better Cookies
Wow the day has come. I have made it to the last recipe of the Brave New Meal cookbook. There are obviously some recipes I did not make for whatever reasons but maybe I’ll go back to them someday. Anyways, it’s been quite a journey of cooking through another book and I have been thinking…
Zucchini Bundt Cake
Right off the bat, from reading the name of this recipe and looking at the pictures, something is off. I do not have a Bundt pan so I used an 8″ square pan instead. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into the actual recipe. This is a zucchini cake and it has…
Winter Squash Blondies
So since pumpkin spice flavoured things have already been popping up in stores, I guess there is nothing wrong with the timing of making these squash blondies. I love brownies and blondies, they are just the perfect snack for a picnic or party. They are also great to freeze and have on hand whenever you…
Pecan Pear Pie
I’m just going to start this post by saying if you pick one recipe from the Brave New Meal cookbook to cook, it’s this one. Regular pecan pie is just very sweet and sort of one noted, but this one hits differently. I will say that I used frozen pie crust but honestly they just…
Kiwi Colada
It’s the middle of the week, who wouldn’t want a nice drink to relax with. This is a super refreshing drink that I made without alcohol but you could add some rum which is what the recipe actually calls for. Based on the name, you can tell that this is a play on a pina…
Fresh Peach Pudding
Happy Monday everyone! I am starting this week with an interesting recipe for me, this is something I’ve never really heard of before. This is called peach pudding, the only pudding I’ve ever had has come from a box or a Jello cup and it definitely was not made with fresh fruit. This was a…
Plum-Side-Down Cake
After the not-so-success of the last recipe (Orangesicle Bars), I was looking for a win today. Today’s recipe is another dessert – a cake – with a pleasant fruity component. As you can see from the name, this was a plum upside-down cake. I have never made an upside-down cake before, they always seemed intimidating…
Orangesicle Bars
Okay, I love creamsicles so I was very excited to make this dessert. The crust is an oat base, like an oatmeal cookie and the filling is an orange-coconut mixture. Classic creamsicles are not made with coconut so I was a little weary there. Let’s dive in, starting with the crust. It’s made with oats,…
Mezcal Meltdown
I finished last week with a drink and we are starting now with a drink too! This is actually the first cocktail I’m making from this cookbook. The drink is called a Mezcal Meltdown. It has pineapple juice, lime juice and jalapeno so it’s a mix of sweet, sour and spicy. From the name, the…
