Happy weekend friends! I'm excited and a little nervous to share this recipe because it's not a traditional lemon poppyseed loaf that may come to mind when you think of one. It's NOT sweet, it's NOT super lemon-y but it IS the perfect more healthy type of loaf where you can control the sweetness! In this time of quarantine life, if you're like our family - LOL, the snacks and sweets are at an all time high. On top of that, it's safe to say that everyone is spending a lot of time in the kitchen baking breads, cinnamon buns and so on which I think is so SO great! I mean, how often did you see a friend, family member or neighbour share their baking creations until now? Recipes are ...
Vegan Vanilla Sugar Cookies
‘Tis the season for holiday gift exchanges and what better gift to give than one that comes straight from the heart: Cookies! I’ve been using this vanilla sugar cookie recipe for YEARS- back when I was still eating eggs and cow butter and once we went vegan, part of me was a little sad thinking I’d have to give up this delicious recipe altogether.

What I’ve learned along the way with vegan baking is that with the removal of animal products you some how ...

This oatmeal raisin cookie is packed with wholesome ingredients like ground flax seeds, coconut sugar and organic quick oats and I promise there is ZERO ...
A Winter ONEderland
Earlier this month we had the pleasure of celebrating our sweet son's first birthday! It was definitely a surreal moment; a whole year has passed and the little surprise we were waiting for last year is now a stumbling little eating machine! I knew that at least for Elias' first birthday we would do something wintery themed but I'm sure it'll be the last of that for a long while now (enter: Star Wars & superheroes!) so I took full advantage of it knowing full well I'll have zero creative control in the years to come.
