Maple berry muffins
The other day my friend served muffins at a play date and they were so good I asked for the recipe right away. She wanted them to be more moist so I made a few modifications.

Bonus, it is maple syrup season and these are a delicious way to incorporate one of Canada’s staples =) Here is what you need: 2 cups flour (I used 1c white, 1c whole wheat) 1/4 cup sugar 1 tbsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking...

It’s getting to be Hot Coffee season and who doesn’t love a latte. Last week I fused some flavors in a crock pot to make spiced milk.

I am eating my solution now, and it is satisfying. A can of flaked...

For 8 weeks I participated in a food challenge with my gym. Having never been on a diet before, this way very hard! If you know me, you know that every tooth in my head is a sweet tooth. I love dessert and had never gone without it until this…. Luckily, I really enjoy cooking so eating real food was a treat. The best thing was that it got me consciously thinking of what I was consuming. I realized that I mindlessly grazed on crackers, dips and cereal without much thought. for this challenge, I didn’t...
