Coconut Marshmallow Drop Cookies

December 5, 2019 by Jzabela

It may be obvious that I adore baking custom cookies full of detail and pretty colors, but there’s something to be said when a recipe can be whipped up quickly! (see what I did there? 😉) These Coconut Marshmallow drop cookies are easy to make and this recipe is sure to be one you’ll add to your holiday baking repetoire! Whenever I make create recipes, I intentionally make them larger batches because honestly, who only ever bakes a dozen cookies?! The holidays always call for a sweet treat to gift or serve so this recipe can do just that! These coconut marshmallow cookies are pillowy soft with bits of the marshmallow, with a slightly crispy edge and seriously, you won’t be able to ...

A Winter ONEderland

December 24, 2016 by Jzabela

wintercake

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. A December birthday naturally inspires ideas of snowflakes and barren trees while gingerbread and fluffy marshmallows swirled in my head as I pieced together the dessert ...

I did it!! ✨ I did the thing that I have wanted I did it!! ✨ I did the thing that I have wanted to do for a while and didn’t have the guts to do….🥁🥁🥁  I got tattooed! 🖌️  It was such an awesome experience and I’m so happy with the results. I have wanted to get tattooed for a while but could never land on what to get.  It’s no surprise that when my grandpa passed away how big of a hole he left in our hearts. I wanted something that would be with me everyday so I chose to get my maiden name Twaróg in his handwriting. 🥹  The second was a no brainer, something that I’m passionate about- baking! The piping bag is a tool I use all the time so it made sense to make that the focal point of The Cake Mama Bakery branding. I put it on my left forearm cuz I’m a lefty and this forearm is strong from all of that squeezing! 🤭  Thanks for coming along on this little journey of mine. I’m so happy! 🥰✨  Work done by @tattoosbymyah at @theinkparlourkelowna 🫶🏼  #firsttattoo #tattoo #tattooing #kelownatattoo #inked #vlog #vlogger #thecakemamavlog

🪻FLOWER IDEAS FOR YOUR GARDEN 🪻 Save this f 🪻FLOWER IDEAS FOR YOUR GARDEN 🪻  Save this for garden inspo!  I’m a big fan of perennials - aka “set it and forget it” type flowers that will return each year without me having to do much.  Veronica Ever After - these can be cut to the ground in late fall and can double in size each year! ☀️ Prefers full sun.  Lavender - make sure it is a perennial variety as some are only good for one season. These too can be cut down a few inches for good regrowth. ☀️ Prefers full sun.  Russian Sage - another plant the bees adore! These ones can be cut to the ground if you only want small bushes. I cut them down so they were about 12” tall to encourage more fullness! ☀️ Prefers full sun.  Feverfew - these will continue to bloom even after you clip some for your home. These can be cut down and will come back each year! ☀️ Prefers full sun.  Hydrangeas - dead head these to promote more floral growth after they’re spent. I only like to clip down to the next leaf set from the heads so they stay full! 🌤️ Prefers partial sun.  Hosta - can be cut to the ground in late fall and come back bigger every year! ☁️ Prefers Shade  I hope this gives you some ideas on what to plant in your garden!  @provenwinners #gardeningtips #gardening #perennials #summerflowers #summerflower #summergarden #summergardens #gardeninggirl #gardeninglife #greenthumb #gardenlove

🍒 Cherry Strudel 🍒 Have lots of cherries th 🍒 Cherry Strudel 🍒  Have lots of cherries that you need to put to good use?! Try this quick cherry strudel recipe that will be gobbled up in seconds!  Ingredients:  1 pkg prepared puff pastry dough (i use tenderflake - accidentally vegan!)
2 1/2 cups cherries pitted & sliced
3 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp vegan butter for brushing on top
2 tbsp sugar for sanding  Instructions:  Preheat oven to 375°F.  Roll out puff pastry in a rectangle shape approximately 11” x 15”.  In a bowl combine flour, cherries, sugar and cinnamon.  Spoon onto the center of the puff pastry. Fold the top and bottom of the pastry to create a seal then fold one side over the cherry filling and the other pinching down to completely cover the cherries.  Brush vegan butter and sand with sugar then make 1/2” diagonal slices with a knife.  Bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool for 20 minutes to allow filling to thicken. Enjoy!  #cherrystrudel #strudel #cherries #cherryseason #cherryseason🍒 #veganstrudel #veganbaking #veganrecipes #vegandesserts #vegandessertrecipes #vegancherrystrudel #veganfoodshare #plantbasedrecipes #plantbaseddessert
✨The Garden Glow Up✨ Its exactly 4 years sinc ✨The Garden Glow Up✨  Its exactly 4 years since we moved into this house and we’re left with a beast of a yard to clean up. 🤪  With the help of family and lots of beer & wine, it’s come such a long way and I can’t wait for it to mature even more!  Shout out to @rolothon - the “WE” in this duo 🤣 who has poured so much of himself into this beautiful space. There isn’t a day that goes by when he’s not thinking about what to do next in this yard.  How did we do! 🥰  #gardengoals #gardening #glowup #pleasurefromthegarden #homeimprovement #yardimprovements #gardening #gardeninglove #okanagan #okanaganlife
✨Come with me to a media event at @littlestrawvi ✨Come with me to a media event at @littlestrawvineyards ✨  The restaurant is officially open at Little Straw and you won’t want to miss the offerings here! The South Asian inspired dishes will delight your tastebuds especially when you pair them with their wines! 🥂  For my vegan friends, there are some delicious options available for you to enjoy while you sip on some delicious wine and enjoy the view.  I enjoyed listening to Karnail’s thoughts about working with nature vs against it in his farming practices. The winery anticipates an organic certification in the near future! Being the owner of @kalalawines which is already an established organic winery, Karnail has already started incorporating his organic farming practices to this winery.  Definitely make it a point to stop in for a tasting, or if you have the time stay for a meal! 😋  Thank you for having me @littlestrawvineyards I can’t wait to come back!  #vineyardtour #littlestrawwinery #okanaganwinery #veganwine #veganwinery #okanaganwine #okanaganfood #exploreokanagan #tourismkelowna #tourismwestkelowna #westsidewinetrail #westkelownawinery #westkelownawine #veganfoodie #vegankelowna
