Pumpkin Tahini Toast
Things have been a little crazy around here lately. Well not HERE specifically, here it's been crickets, but real life has been a touch nuts. If you're following along at home over on Instagram or Facebook you would have seen that we're moving currently, but that's the pointy end of 6-months since we moved out of our old apartment in the end of May, stuffed everything into storage, and fled the country (haha). When our two month overseas trip ended we got an Airbnb for a month in Sydney, … [Read more...]
Healthier Pecan Pie
Well now, isn't that a terribly mundane name for a stunningly good pie. Perhaps I could have gone with something more descriptive like Dairy-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Pecan Pie, but I feel that it's really just a longer and equally mundane name for a remarkable dessert. So remarkable in fact, I had to make a video -- but we'll get to that in a moment. Maybe I should have named it something more screechy and celebratory -- The Best Pecan Pie Ever!!!! Life-Changing Pecan Pie!!! OMG … [Read more...]

Raw Choc-Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
Truth be told, you really can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookie dough. Of course there will be an argumentative few who shake their fists and insist this is not proper cookie dough and to them I say pshaw -- go on and eat your raw eggs and raw flour, if you need me I'll be watching from the corner with a cup of tea and a pile of cookie dough truffles. These babies were made for a bake sale late last year and took pride of place alongside those Lemon, Macadamia & Coconut Raw … [Read more...]

Nectarine & Almond Streusel Baked French Toast Casserole
Santa came to our house a day early when I was growing up. Mom said it was because he knew we drove to my grandmother's farm on Christmas Eve day so he stopped at our place first, ensuring the presents were ready and waiting on the morning of December 24. We'd wake up early, collecting stockings from the staircase on our way down to the tree, eat baked french toast for breakfast, pack, pile into the car and for the next 8 hours -- over the river and through the woods, obviously -- to … [Read more...]
