Hey friends! I’m back after a hiatus of sorts. Things have been crazy since this new year started! First, my family got hit with Omicron, followed by a funeral (long story) and then work went haywire. Safe to say I’m so happy to say goodbye to the first three months of the year. I genuinely […]

Vegan Gingerbread Cookies with Royal Icing
What a week! Filled with late nights, buttercream cakes and dirty wine glasses. It’s been a while since I’ve had some time to write but hey, I’m back. Plus I’ve returned with a sweet recipe. The Internet is all a buzz with Christmas cookie swaps and I couldn’t help but include a bunch of new […]
Matcha Grinch Cakes & Bake Flops
I’ve been feeling under the weather ever since me and my brother finished the second vaccine dose. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had cold sweats. That strange feeling of heat and chill that makes your hair stand on end. To make matters more interesting, we were down to the last 3 anti-fever […]
The Best Ever Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of vanilla. Don’t get me wrong. Vanilla is great with its intoxicating scent and recognizable black specks. But despite vanilla’s best efforts, it has always been butchered throughout my life. It’s sad to say that fake vanilla is more commonplace than the real deal bean. I’ve […]
Earl Grey Lemon Tart with a Shortcrust Pastry
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I love citrus in all its springy, tangy glory. Like in this perfect crunchy calamansi glaze or in this herby lemon focaccia. Somehow, eating something citrusy always puts me in a good mood as if the sun just shines a little brighter on those […]
Zucchini Loaf Cake with Crunchy Calamansi Glaze
Is it just me or are the days starting to blur together seemingly in a never ending cycle of drudgery. Don’t get me wrong! There are benefits to staying at home and having a lot of downtime with my family. Yet, a part of me longs to see people, go places and experience something different. […]
Moist Vegan Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Hey there peeps! Easter is just around the corner and you know what that means? Easter themed treats! My family usually isn’t the type to go on easter egg hunts (our house is too small for us to be able to “hunt”) but we do enjoy themed baked goods no matter what the occasion. Plus […]
Dark Chocolate Chunk Toffee Pretzel Oatmeal Bars
Hi there! So I made this thing and it’s hands down glorious, insane and loaded with everything nice. Practically like kitchen sink bars but also partly deliberate? At first, I wanted to make some classic chocolate chip cookies then I realized bars would be much quicker (dump everything in a pan and bake sort of […]
Salty Sweet Toffee Pretzel Crunch Bark
I have always been a big fan of salty sweet desserts, from salted caramel to grapes and cheese and even to these miso chocolate chip cookies. Salt brings out the flavors of sweet desserts yielding a fuller, more well rounded flavor. If there’s anything that a good toffee can benefit from, it’s a generous sprinkle […]
Nutella Swirled Roasted Banana Bread
Doesn’t that sound amazing! Nutella and banana are some of my favorite flavors to combine. My search for the best banana bread has fallen into staggeringly silly territory. Involving me staying up late at night contemplating on optimum banana ripeness or whether I should top my bread with crumble. If there’s anything I’ve learned from […]
