Strawberry Baked Oatmeal
Coconut Blood Orange Cake (gluten and dairy-free)
Vegan Lentil Bolognese Sauce
Nectarine Blueberry Crisp (vegan, gluten-free)
Apple Cinnamon Quick Bread With Cider Glaze
Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup
Sun Dried Tomato & Olive Stuffed Mushrooms (vegan)
Double Chocolate Buckwheat Brownies (gluten-free)
Do not – I repeat – DO NOT make these gluten-free double chocolate buckwheat brownies if you like cakey brownies! Made with cocoa, dark chocolate, and buckwheat flour, these are unbelievably rich fudgy brownies. They are made with whole grain flour, however, I won’t call them healthy as there is still plenty of butter and chocolate.
Spicy Apple Galette With Coffee Glaze
This spicy apple galette with coffee glaze has a chai-spiced crust that’s rustic and fragrant. The apple filling is balanced with acidity, spice, and gentle sweetness. A smooth coffee glaze is literally the icing on top. Apple galettes are an easy and impressive-looking fall dessert I love to serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.
Mini Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins (dairy free)
These mini pumpkin cranberry muffins are a result of my most recent visit with Atlantic Superstore in-store registered dietitian Kristen Gaudet. I visited Kristen in the summer to talk about weight management and switching to a more plant-based diet. With cooler weather setting in, I returned and asked Kristen to help me meal plan lunches for my three-year-old daughter, Elodie. She suggested serving bento box lunches, featuring local fruit and vegetables, and I instantly fell in love!

Apple Cider Cornflake Crisp
Baking is a salve to my grief and this apple cider cornflake crisp is a result of that. My grandmother and my mother died, three days apart, three weeks ago. I feel lost. Helpless. Broken. Spending time with my daughter, and baking are the only things that bring relief. Baking, a skill taught to me by my Mum so many years ago, is something I carry with me, a constant reminder that she was real. She existed. And she will continue to live through me and my recipes.
Breakfast Risotto With Bacon And Thyme
Breakfast Risotto With Bacon And Thyme is a hearty dish perfect for slow Sunday mornings and brunch gatherings. You can make the risotto the day before if you want. Just reheat it in the oven, then crack the eggs on top, and cook to your preferred yolk-doneness.

These Blueberry White Chocolate Scones were an unexpected treat in our house! My three-year old daughter and I were picking wild blueberries in Cape Breton last week while visiting family.

Charred Corn Couscous Salad With Feta And Basil
Charred Corn Couscous Salad With Feta And Basil makes a tasty light meal or side dish, great on hot days!

Substitute feta for tofu, red lentils, or chickpeas to make the couscous salad dairy-free and vegan.

Lilac sugar can add a soft and gentle floral note to your baking and desserts. All you need is lilac blossoms, white sugar, and a little time.

The same principle of making floral-scented sugar applies to any fragrant, edible flowers. Rose-scented sugar would be gorgeous!

Strawberry Rhubarb Bread Pudding With Raisins
This strawberry rhubarb bread pudding recipe is so easy to make and doesn’t contain any eggs or milk. Instead, sourdough bread is tossed with maple syrup, melted butter, and a little sugar and left to soak for a short time. Bread pudding is a go-to recipe in our house and we switch out the fruit based on what’s in season during the spring and summer. Rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, and peaches all taste terrific in bread pudding – consider mixing them together – while apples and cranberries are great options for the colder months.

The recipe yields about 3/4 of a cup.
