Gluten, Dairy, and Egg Free (Vegan) Cookies!
Okay, that’s a big title. But, to just say these are ‘healthy cookies’ isn’t enough. I was definitely a bit skeptical when I was making these. First, the cookie batter was pretty wet, so I thought they were going to flatten like a pancake! I was a bit worried to use my 2 tablespoon scoop for this reason, but I took a chance. I’m glad I did, because the complete opposite happened! They didn’t flatten AT ALL. At first, I was going to call these a ‘smashed’ cookie, because that’s essentially what I did with the first batch, to help flatten them after they came out of the oven. But, smashing a warm cookie with melty chocolate in it also means that you’re going to smoosh the chocolate everywhere. See? Still tasty, but not so pretty.
The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of EITHER raisins or chocolate chips. I decided to put 1/2 cup of BOTH raisins and chocolate chips. Also, I used my homemade apple sauce in this recipe which has a bit of sugar in it. I didn’t mind. 🙂 But, unsweetened apple sauce would be great, especially since there’s already sweetness from the ripe bananas and raisins….and chocolate chips.
I had 2 of these almost every night after dinner with a tea until they were gone! They really hit the spot. I am loving finding new recipes to use up all of my bananas and this one will be added to my growing rotation!!
Enjoy!

Blueberry Breakfast Cake with Lemon-Mascarpone Cream
Who wants cake for breakfast?? ME! I confess….I actually made this for dessert the night before. It was tasty, but was meant for breakfast, or actually, brunch, in my opinion. This would be the perfect, beautiful addition to your brunch menu. Imagine how impressed your family and/or guests will be when they see that you baked a cake for brunch! It’s really just one large blueberry muffin. It’s genius, actually.
I’ve made blueberry cakes with frozen blueberries, when the original recipe calls for fresh blueberries, and the cook time increases by over triple the time, in some cases. The moisture from the frozen blueberries throws off the balance of ingredients. Even though this recipe calls for frozen blueberries, it’s really important to allow them to thaw and allow some of the water to escape from the berry itself.
This recipe is unique, in that you don’t ever fold the blueberries into the batter. Pretty smart, actually, because frozen and thawed blueberries become quite mushy and if you did mix them into your batter, it might just turn the cake purple. Which may not be a horrible thing.
Any liquid you see within the blueberries is actually lemon juice. I let these blueberries drain long enough that they didn’t have excess liquid to release. It’s an important step in this recipe to rinse the berries before you let them drain. This will help the thawing process and they won’t all clump together.
The batter for this cake is pretty thick. Once you pour it into your pan, you will need to help smooth it out. It almost has a cookie-like texture to it.
Even though the majority of the blueberries stayed on the top of the cake, enough sunk down to help even things out.
This cake is easy and pairs really well with a nice cup of coffee or tea. I hope that you make this and that you enjoy it as much as we did!
Enjoy!

Marshmallow Cinnamon ‘Buns’
I found this recipe as I was searching what to make for our first Easter dinner in Toronto. This was a bittersweet Easter, not only because of COVID-19 and not being able to be with family, but this was the first holiday without my mom. It was really important to me that this first holiday of ours as a little family be as special as it could be under the circumstances.
The original recipe is called ‘Empty Tomb Rolls’, which felt like a pretty weird title for these. Apparently, the symbolism of a large marshmallow represents the body of Jesus. The crescent roll represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body. The melted butter represents the oils of embalming. The cinnamon/sugar mix represents the spices used to anoint Christ’s body. The oven represents the tomb, and the cavity in the bun (once baked) represents the empty tomb.
Whoa. That’s heavy. That’s a lot of symbolism to put on a glorified cinnamon roll. Symbolism aside, I knew I needed to make this recipe because they are so easy to make!! Plus, my kids are crazy about marshmallows, so I figured they’d be a hit. Being a ‘glorified cinnamon roll’ is not a stretch. The marshmallow in these completely melts away (which is why there is a cavity left inside the bun after it bakes), so it creates an ooey gooey cinnamon sugar mixture. It’s yummy.
The original recipe suggests using large pillsbury crescent rolls. Unless you’re going to use those jumbo marshmallows that I’ve seen in the stores, the regular crescent rolls are fine, if in fact, better. When I used the large sized crescent rolls, I had to cut each triangle of dough in two. It was just an unnecessary step when the regular sized rolls already came in triangles of 8 crescent rolls.
This is what it should look like before you place these in the oven. Don’t forget to spray your muffin tin before placing these rolls inside! The most important step at this point is to make sure you’ve sealed the marshmallow inside the dough as well as possible, or it will leak out all over the place.
Some marshmallow leaked out of a couple of mine, but not terribly. These really puff up, but because there is a hollow cavity on the inside, they may fall as they cool. That’s normal.
Look at all that gooey goodness! The shadow in the second photo makes me sad, but shows the ooey gooeyness so well that I had to include it!
Allow these to cool slightly before eating so that you don’t burn your mouth. I do recommend that if you don’t finish these after the first bake, reheat them before eating them again.
Enjoy!!

Cacio e Pepe
Have you heard of this pasta? It’s all the craze during quarantine. It’s basically what I make my kids all the time, but with garlic and pepper added. Something about that pepper, though, really takes this dish to the next level. The more you eat it, the more you want it.
We actually watched Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) make this on the Food Network last week! My husband couldn’t stop salivating afterwards and he was determined to make this for lunch the following day.
My daughter has an aversion to pepper or anything that looks remotely like pepper. I put poppy seeds (which taste like nothing) in one of her favourite salads and she struggled to get every bite down because of it! So, he made the kids’ pasta without pepper and then added some to his dish. He gave me a bite and I really didn’t understand why this pasta was so popular. Until I made it myself….
I love my husband, but he missed many marks when making this dish. First, he didn’t reserve enough pasta water. Second, he didn’t make the sauce with butter (he used olive oil – which is fine, but you know….not as flavourful). Third, he didn’t add enough Parmesan cheese. Finally, he added the pepper on top of his pasta, rather than cooking it into the sauce and pasta. Man, no wonder his pasta sucked….errr, I mean, wasn’t great. The kids loved it, though!
Today, I decided to make it for lunch as my husband and the kids were outside gardening all morning. Everyone was happy and both my daughter and my husband went back for seconds!!
Adding the pasta water to this dish is SO VERY IMPORTANT!!!! You need the starch from that water to help bring this sauce together. Otherwise, the flavours won’t cling to the pasta and the dish will taste bland. Also, it’s really important that you grate lots of cheese beforehand. Don’t just grate the cheese over the pasta. You’ll likely not add enough doing it that way. Of course, if you buy pre-grated, then you don’t have to worry! 🙂
Enjoy!
Cacio e Pepe
Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- freshly ground black pepper Add as much as you would like, but consider adding more to this dish than you would normally add to a 'regular' dish.
- 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese I grated about 2 cups. You can never have too much cheese!
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a generous amount of salt before adding the pasta to the pot. Cook until the pasta is al dente, or still has a little bite. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta water.
- Do NOT rinse the pasta!
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in your skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water and bring to a simmer. It will seem like a lot of water, but don't worry.
- Grind in a generous amount of pepper.
- Add the pasta and remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add the Parmesan a handful at a time, tossing the pasta with each addition and adding more pepper if desired. Remove from the heat and continue to toss the pasta until well coated, thinning with the extra pasta water if needed.

Ree’s Fruit Salad with Orange-Vanilla Syrup
I made this the first time when we had friends over for brunch a couple of years ago and it’s been a go-to fruit salad for me ever since! The Pioneer Woman is one of those Food Network chefs that I love to watch. I could have her playing in the background all day on my TV. Her kitchen is a dream and her voice is so inviting. She does make many ‘meat and potato’ dishes, which aren’t always for me, but after all, she’s cooking for cowboys! Even still, I trust her cooking. I think there was one in all the many that I have tried that didn’t cook according to her recipe.
I have made this salad both with and without the mint. It’s good either way. Mint can be a tricky herb. Too much could ruin this salad. I think my preference is to omit the mint, but should you want to add some, use it more as a garnish than an ingredient in this salad.
The simple syrup for this recipe really transforms the fruit. I also like that it is largely a berry fruit salad, in addition to the grapes. I’ve not experimented with other fruit, but I imagine any fruit would work well with this syrup. My daughter is not a fan of orange, but she still enjoys this salad. The syrup also adds a nice sheen to the fruit. It’s really yummy and such a nice addition to your brunch menu.
Enjoy!
Ree's Fruit Salad with Orange-Vanilla Simple Syrup
Ingredients
Orange-Vanilla Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste*
Fruit
- 2 pints strawberries hulled and halved**
- 2 pints blueberries
- 2 cups green grapes halved
- 2 cups red grapes halved
Instructions
- Place the sugar, 1 cup water, orange zest, juice and vanilla bean paste in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside to cool completely. Pour over fruit and stir often to toss the fruit in the simple syrup.
Notes
**Original recipe calls for 4 pints of strawberries. I find 2 is plenty. If you have a really large party to serve, go for 4. Adapted from Pioneer Woman
Make-Ahead Cinnamon Buns
Okay, so these are indulgent, but such a treat to wake up to on a special, lazy, morning with family. The BEST part about these buns is that most of the work happens the night before!
Important to note that this dough must rise for 1.5 to 2 hours before it can be rolled out, so don’t start preparing these too late the night before. I have made the mistake in the past of deciding to make something later at night and realizing the recipe needs to chill for so many hours in the fridge before moving on to the next step. Bah!
I like to add raisins to my cinnamon buns, but you can also add pecans if you like that kinda thing.
I first saw Valerie Bertinelli make these on her show for Christmas morning, and I thought it was such a nice idea! We’ve tried to do a big breakfast on Christmas morning, but it takes so long and with all the food we have to look forward to for dinner, it’s too much of a production to have a big breakfast and then a big dinner. Having something comforting and tasty like this that takes little effort in the morning is perfect!
I highly recommend you make these. Your family will love you all over again! 🙂
Make-Ahead Cinnamon Buns
Ingredients
For the dough
- I cup warm whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 .25 oz package active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- vegetable oil for the bowl
For the filling
- 6 tablespoons salted butter softened, plus more for the baking dish*
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins optional
For the icing
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons of milk plus more as needed
Instructions
For the dough
- Combine the milk, sugar, melted butter, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment and stir to combine well. Add the eggs and stir until well mixed. Add the flour and mix on medium-high speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Transfer the dough to a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch the dough down and lightly flour a work surface. Lay the dough out and roll the dough out into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle.
For the filling
- Butter a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish. Spread the softened butter evenly all over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle raisins, if using. Roll up the dough and press and crimp the edges to seal. Cut the dough into 12 slices and arrange them in the buttered baking dish. If you want to bake them the same day, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Otherwise, refrigerate overnight; take out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the cinnamon buns until puffed and golden brown all over, about 25 minutes.
For the icing
- Put the icing sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, vanilla and milk Whisk until smooth. Add additional milk, about 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to achieve the right consistency. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.

Ina’s Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
It’s been a while since I’ve written, even though I think about this blog all of the time. I take pictures of almost everything I make and then I never seem to have the time to sit down and post about them.
Life has taken a turn recently, and so quickly. I’ve found myself on leave from work and back home to help take care of my mom, as she is very ill. So far, her appetite has been amazing, so I have been cooking up a storm, making sure she has whatever she wants on hand. All my cooking has brought me back here.
These muffins are easy, fresh and light.
Something I have never done with these muffins is gotten all the ingredients to room temperature. The buttermilk ALWAYS ends up being colder than the cooled melted butter, and that butter gets chunky once stirred in. Not to worry! I’ve had no issues with the batter.
This recipe makes 2 dozen muffins. As you can see, 2 muffins are already missing from this pic! 🙂
I really hope you make these. They are one of our go-tos.
Ina's Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted My preference, generally, is to bake with salted butter. But, use whichever works best for you.
- 1.5 teaspoons grated lemon zest When using the zest of a lemon, buy organic lemons, so that you aren't consuming any pesticides sprayed on the fruit
- 2 large eggs The original recipe calls for extra large eggs. It won't impact this recipe at all to use large eggs.
- 2 cups fresh blueberries 2 half-pints
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with muffin liners.
- Measure out and mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, cooled and melted butter, lemon zest, and eggs.
- Make a hole in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well of dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until just blended.
- Fold in the blueberries into the batter. Don't over mix!
- Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes
Cookie Dough (flourless) Muffin Bites
A friend of mine from Sherry Thacker’s 6 week challenge – actually she was my amazing coach throughout my 6 weeks! – posted this recipe on Facebook and I made it that very same day! The trouble is, I made it all wrong! I like the blogger who posted this recipe. I’ve followed her in the past, but I found her page busy this time and I had trouble following the recipe. So, I messed it up! But, they turned out to still be tasty, in the end. Enough that I made them again (the right way) and have been making them ever since!
You MUST make these and keep them in your freezer! They really do taste like cookie dough, right out of the freezer! They are my little Sunday early morning treat, and I love them.
The original recipe calls for store bought (sugar added) peanut butter. I did use JIF on my first go at this recipe and it was good. The second time I made them I used natural peanut butter, and there was no difference in flavour (or sweetness, which is weird). Don’t waste your calories using the store bought, sugar laden peanut butter. The honey in this recipe does the trick for the sweetness (as does the chocolate chips) and they taste so good! You’ll feel even better knowing you’re using a natural peanut butter!!
I did make a batch of these using almond butter instead of peanut butter. It was interesting how different the consistency and texture was. I didn’t like them as much as the peanut butter variety when at room temp, but I’ve liked them from the freezer much the same.
If you don’t own silicone mini muffin pans, you need to buy them now. 🙂 They work brilliantly for this. I wouldn’t trust getting these little guys out of the metal pans. As you can see, I filled them generously. They don’t puff up too much, so don’t be shy. I added some chocolate chips on top for effect, but you really don’t need to.
Enjoy!

The BEST Granola!
It’s a SNOW DAY today! Snow days in Toronto NEVER happen! In my 14 years of teaching, this is my first! It’s an exciting day. To celebrate, I made more of this amazing granola!
My husband loves granola, even more than my kids. I’ve always had intentions of making it, so they could have a homemade variety, but I never found one that really motivated me to make it. That was until this recipe showed up in my email.
When I read how simple it was, and how natural the ingredients were, I knew I had to make it! I actually went out during my lunch break to get the ingredients, so that I could make it that very night!
My second batch turned out darker than my first, but that’s okay! Still tastes just as good. And I actually think it’s supposed to be this colour more than my first picture.
This granola is really good with some yogurt and fresh berries. I often eat it plain or with just berries and/or grapes. It’s sooooo good.
The original recipe calls for 1 cup of walnuts and 1 cup of sliced almonds, but I’m not a big fan of walnuts, so I just doubled the amount of almonds. You could do any nut in here. You could also add chia seeds, dried cherries/cranberries or anything you want. I like to keep it simple.
Enjoy!
The BEST Granola!
Ingredients
- 5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 cups sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silpat sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, syrup, olive oil and salt. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread the mixture on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through (at the 15 minute mark) to ensure the oats get evenly coated.
- Remove the tray and stir in the almonds.
- Bake for another 30 minutes, stirring halfway through again.
- Cool completely on tray.
- Can be stored in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks (but it won’t last that long! :))
Quick and Tasty Carbonara
I have tried many carbonara recipes over the years, as it’s one of my husband’s favorite comfort foods. This recipe is my favorite of any I’ve tried, and it’s the quickest! My daughter gobbled up her entire serving. She told me that she likes this pasta as much as she likes cotton candy. That’s saying something!
This past weekend, we had a lot of my family visiting, which was awesome, but we never got the chance to grocery shop for the week! Luckily, we had enough pantry items, that I managed to get our dinners done still. Today, while I was at work, I was wracking my brain as to what I could make us for dinner. I received my recipe of the day email from The Food Network, and that was my inspiration for dinner. I had eggs, bacon, pasta, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Thanks, Food Network!!
Quick and Tasty Carbonara
Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti dry
- 1/2 pound bacon organic, thick cut, cut into smalls strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano plus more for serving
- 1 bunch of parsley finely chopped
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat pan on medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add bacon.

- Once boiling, cook pasta to al dente in texture.
- Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water for later use.
- Combine the beaten eggs and cheese together and set aside.
- Once bacon has cooked, and has been removed from the pan, toss in the minced garlic into the olive oil and bacon fat and stir continuously for about 1 minute.
- Add your cooked pasta directly into the hot garlic oil mixture.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the egg/cheese mixture slowly, mixing constantly, to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- At this time, add in some of your reserved pasta water to help loosen up your sauce to the right consistency.
