Banana Bread Recipe
Banana bread is one of my favourite baked goods. If it’s a nice one that is! Sometimes they can be so dry and flavourless. But I assure you, not this one! It’s just the right moistness, heavy enough to be filling and oh so flavourful. Walnuts add a little crunch and if eaten while still…
Sweet Potato and Date Brownies (Sugar, Gluten, and Dairy free) // Recipe
Sweet Potato and Brownies are not words that I would have thought I’d be saying in the same sentence. Unless, of course, the brownies were as dessert after the sweet potato. But you know what? They go together SO WELL! Whether you prefer to eat sugar, gluten, grain or dairy free foods, you need a recipe…

Oat Waffles // Recipe
Are waffles not one of the best treats? My parents bought us a waffle iron back in the day and it somehow became the job of one of my brothers and I to make the waffles. I certainly wasn’t complaining though. In fact, I’ve borrowed that very waffle iron to use myself. I’m not sure my mom realises how…

Homemade Microwave Popcorn
I’m going to let you in on a little secret today. It’s the easiest way to make homemade popcorn and is safe for the whole family to do. Popcorn is such a great healthy, high-fibre snack.
