This recipe for chocolate energy bites has spent all summer quietly being moved in front of other recipes on my kitchen cookbook holder in my vain attempt to try and remind myself to make them. I thought these would be the perfect fix for my “I wanna bake something chocolatey” need since it was farRead more
Toasted Ancient Grains Muesli… the slightly lazy person’s (aka me) granola. Or so I thought. It has been quite some time since I made my ancient grains granola, but I could no longer put it off with all the summer fruits and berries ripening right now. I thought I was pretty crafty and would save myself someRead more
Summer has finally arrived here on the Sunshine Coast! I am supremely grateful for all the rain “Junuary” brought for my garden, veggies, and rain barrel, but am happy to be able to have all the doors open wide and feel the breeze across my arms as I type. Everything seems to be ripening earlier this year,Read more
I first tasted these cookies a couple weeks ago when my step-mom whipped them up to have while I was visiting. I was warned by my Dad and brothers that they were kinda “blah”, but one bite later and all I thought was GREAT, more for me! These cookies are definitely not sweet in theRead more
It has been a looooooooooooong time since I made scones, but my Mom’s rhubarb plant has been growing like crazy since we made rhubarb cake so I decided to help the plant lighten the load. You might be thinking rhubarb is way too tart for scones, but it actually really lightened up the rich butteriness ofRead more
Sometimes you just want cake… you NEED cake. It’s not anyone’s birthday, anniversary, special day, event or even Cake Day (every November 26th if you wanted to know 😉 ) but you make cake anyways. This Vanilla and Chocolate Spelt Marble cake was that cake for me. A little vanilla, a little chocolate, dense butRead more
Seeing my friends try out my recipes and get giddy when they have success makes me wildly happy. So when one of those friends I’ve known my entire life (Hi Erica! 😀 ) asked me to create a trail mix/granola type cookie I was thrilled…. and it gets me baking something other than the “typical” recipes I usuallyRead more
Last year when the rhubarb started poking its head above the ground my Mom told me how she used to dip the end of a stalk in sugar and munch away on it like that when she was a child. Odd, I thought, but what the hey, I’ll give it a try. Uh nope. TastedRead more
Where has this bread been all my life?! It wasn’t until very recently when I made my Sunflower Flax Seed Spelt Bread that I had any clue how amazingly tasty seeds are in homemade bread! So much flavour and texture, my tastebuds barely know what to do. The morning I made this bread I waited ever so patientlyRead more
All work and no baking makes Sophie go something something… Crazy? Don’t mind if I do! Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. 😀 It’s been a very full month around here and I’m really missing baking up new (and old) recipes to munch on and share with you all! I did manage to whip up a batch of theseRead more
So I’m a little behind the eight-ball with this post as I first made this bread last weekend, but I’ve got another batch rising as I type! I wanted to experiment with something a little different so I went perusing through my Mom’s wealth of bread books and happened upon a flax and sunflower seedRead more
