Caramel Pear Swirled Streusel Babka
My internet is down at the present moment and so I’m writing this out the old fashioned with pen and paper. I’ll type it out later to post (which, if you’re reading it now I have obviously done already). As I’m writing it though, I’m realizing that I need to write like this more often because I much prefer it to typing. Mostly that’s because I’m a terrible typer, but also because it feels so much more personal. It’s like the difference between talking to someone in person versus by email or text. It’s real and tangible, I love that. I know I’ll sound like a broken record here, because I’ve already told you…

Crud Muffins……They’re a Thing (Vegan)
So, this post is proof that my older sister and I should never put our heads together on things like this. Haha, we were talking a while ago, about what I should create next, and during our conversation she dropped something on the floor and said “Crud muffins!”. And that was it, we decided then and there that I had to make them. Of course, this then posed the question of, what exactly is a crud muffin? So I’ve been thinking about it and I finally realized that a crud muffin should be a recipe that you use to help clear out the “crud” in your kitchen that has no other particular usage.…

Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Stuffed French Toast (Vegan)
Ladies and gentlemen….what you are about to see is real! Yesterday I was feeling like a bad influence with all of my, as I like to call them, “sugar-coma recipes”. My remorse lasted for all of about 5 minutes until I came to my senses and remembered everything on my sweet to-make list. Now that I got that whole healthy salad thing out of the way, it’s time for the weekend and, as I promised yesterday, I’m bringin’ it! My inner mad scientist side was in full gear yesterday and I created something that should probably not even be legal. Enter: Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Stuffed French Toast! So for those of you who are faint…

Vegan Maple Bar Donuts Homemade
Skip to the recipe You’re going to need some coffee to go with this post…. cause nothing goes better with vegan maple bar donuts than coffee. In my opinion that is. This post is all about vegan maple bar donuts I need some coffee too, but not just because of these maple bars. You see, my computer is still trying to ruin my life by going as slow as it can. I happen to be extra busy so this is driving me crazy. It’s gotten to the point that I have to restart everyday and that means it closes all of my windows and I keep forgetting to do things. I know, I…

Midnight Mocha Chocolate Chunk Brownies (Vegan)
You know what I’m thinking….? I’m thinking today needs some serious chocolate. Oh, OH, and, and coffee! Yes there definitely should be coffee because that’s, well that’s just necessary for today! So, so, um, I made you brownies, and not just any brownies, bBuzz! As far as I’m concerned these are the next best thing to pot brownies! Sorry, I’ve had a bit of caffeine today, I don’t know if you can tell. I feel like I should go around shouting “Each brownie is the equivalent of 12 cups of coffee, you can stay awake for days with no side effects, AHHHH!…sorry.” Anyone get that one? Yes, I’m guilty of being a Disney movie fan…

Ukrainian Sunflower Seed Halva (Vegan+GF)
A BIT OF BACKGROUND This post may contain affiliate links. That means I may receive a commission if you purchase something from the links. See disclaimer here. So last week was sister’s birthday and I wanted to try something sweet that would be nostalgic to her and the first thing that came to mind was the sunflower halva that she used to love. I guess I should mention, for those of you who don’t know this, that two of my sisters were born in Ukraine. You’d never guess it now though because they seem every bit as North American as I am. This post is all about Ukrainian Halva, a European favorite. Halva…

Chocolate Coconut Almond Joy Scones (Vegan)
You’ve probably all noticed that I like to take old classics and turn them into something new. I mean, how boring would it be to just write about plain jane chocolate cake or spaghetti and meatballs? Okay, actually I can think of a lot of things more boring than that and there is a time and place for traditional things, but usually it’s not here. Hopefully you haven’t noticed how much coconut has been happening around here lately, or at least, if you have I hope you are coco-nuts for coconuts (pardon the corny pun.) We just happened to get a bunch of fresh coconuts recently and it was kind of a one…
