It’s probably safe to say that I’m a choco-holic. I love pretty much anything with chocolate in it or on it. So you may find it odd that I’m not a fan of chocolate cake. I will almost always choose vanilla. That being said, I love vanilla cake with some kind of chocolate…

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Brownies
I’m fairly certain everyone loves brownies. They’re rich, alluring, and there are so many variations – there’s something to please everyone. This variation is perfect for those who cannot have, or are avoiding, gluten. Skipping out on the wheat flour doesn’t mean you have to forego the decadence that is associated with gooey,…
Meyer Lemon Tassies
I find citrus to be a ray of sunshine during these cold winter months. And nothing puts a smile on my face more than finally seeing those delightful Meyer Lemons at the grocery store. I love all citrus, but there’s something special about a Meyer Lemon. They have a spectacular hue that’s more orange than…
Spicy Italian Sausage Soup
I’m not too sure what the weather this winter has been like in your neck of the woods, but up here, we’ve had it rough. I’m talkin’ two weeks straight at -40 degrees Celsius (which also happens to be -40 degrees Fahrenheit). Damn you Polar Vortex. The only good thing about that temperature, is that…
Goals for 2014

Instead of making resolutions to change something about myself, such as “eating healthier” or “going to the gym” I have compiled a list of goals. My goals are simple and realistic. I want to keep doing what I’m already…
Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips
I’m happy to say that the first post of 2014 is a healthy one! I’ve been looking for a healthy snack to satisfy the sugary cravings I’ve been getting lately. These apple chips are the perfect thing to munch on when the mood strikes. I feel less guilty eating apples with a touch of sugar…
Best of 2013
First off, Happy New Year! Is it just me, or did 2013 fly by? It was such a busy year for me and I look forward to things slowing down early in the New Year. I want to take the time to thank each of you for following along and reading my blog this year….
Pistachio, Cranberry and Cardamom Shortbread
There’s something beautiful about pistachios. They have the most gorgeous purple on the outside and the perfect shade of green on the inside and they taste fantastic in just about anything; ice cream, cookies, cake, macarons. You name it, I’ve probably put pistachios in them. The most common thing I put pistachios in would be cookies…
Disney World 2013: What I Ate
At the end of October, I spent 8 days in The Sunshine State thanks to a work conference. It was hot and humid the entire time and I loved every single second of it. We spent 5 nights at the Yacht Club Resort in Disney World, which I highly recommend. I was a 5 minute…
