I know you might have read the title of this post and thought “what is this girl doing?” But this has just been a weird cooking time for me and as you can see, I haven’t been doing much cooking. Last week was all sweets and this week we got another sweet plus a simple…

January 20: Crumble, Chicken Fingers & Tuna Bowl
We got to the end of another week, it’s already the latter half of the month now! I hope your 2023 is off to a good start, filled with good health, happiness, and, of course, good food. Today I’ve got 2 main meals and 1 dessert to share with you all. All of these have…
Apple Crumble
Happy Friday! I know in my last post (link here), I said I would get back to several dishes in one post but once again, this has been a pretty busy week. The only recipe I made this week was this delicious apple crumble. I went apple picking last weekend and I’ve been mostly eating…
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,…
Grapefruit Cake
We are moving along in the dessert section and today we have this grapefruit cake. I am one of those people who love grapefruit so I was very excited about this recipe. This cake seemed to promise a bunch of grapefruit flavour because there is juice and zest in the cake and then actual grapefruit…
Green Grape Pie
This, this was an interesting recipe. I’ll say it right now though, give it a chance. I love all kinds of pie but had never heard of grape pie before. When I first saw this recipe, I thought “there’s no way it could be good”. The idea of hot and cooked grapes doesn’t sound great…
Strawberry Rosewater Cheesecake
Mmm cheesecake. It’s one of my favourite desserts. But as we know, the Brave New Meal cookbook is a vegan one which means this cheesecake is not made with cream cheese. This is made with cashews! When soaked (and blended), cashews give such a nice creaminess to whatever you use them in – which was…
Apple Mormon Muffins
Okay let’s do this, second recipe from the brave new meal cookbook! These are the apple Mormon muffins which have a story behind the name. These are packed with goodness! Let me just get this out there – if you need to increase your fiber, you got to make these muffins. There are bran flakes,…
