Dark chocolate and blood orange cake

I find blood oranges beautiful with their crimson peel and ruby centers, as soon as they are in season I use them where ever I can. They make lovely marmalade and brighten up winter salads, fresh blood orange and raspberry juice is amazing but they truly shine in this recipe.

Pinata cupcakes

These cupcakes are a wonderful surprise for kids and adults alike. They are perfect for a birthday party or you could fill them with candy hearts and they would be lovely for valentines, same for Halloween if you filled them with jelly worms or mini eyes they are just really fun and very easy.

                              Happy New Year! I hope 2016 is a great one for you all. In keeping with the ever popular New Years resolution of being healthier and losing a few Christmas/baby pounds in my case, I thought I would share this little gem of a recipe!

Zucchini Pasta

This is amazing, I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner! Not only is it a brilliant way to add extra veg into your diet but it’s honestly a great pasta substitute. It is nothing like spaghetti squash which I personally find to be too thin and more like a grated vegetable, zucchini pasta is silky, light, you can spin it around your fork and it is now my go to GF pasta.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer cupcakes

My youngest brother Gabriel loves Christmas, we always make extra special recipes like decadent hot chocolate spiced with cinnamon, vanilla bean and nutmeg then we put on a Christmas movie and bake something fun. This Summer my parents and Gabriel moved back to the UK so I really miss having him around. I was thinking about him this week as we would usually be cooking up something new so instead I decided to put up our favorite Christmas recipe.

We all scream for Dairy Free ice cream!

We’re already in September and after a couple of rainy days, the summer has made a comeback! This always seems to be the case in Vancouver, I like it because it reminds me to make the most of the last few weeks of sun.

Gluten and Dairy Free Red Velvet Cupcakes

 

I love valentines day mainly because of all of the things you can bake or craft! Like heart shaped tarts and pies, cookies, home-made chocolates,

Kefir my new favorite super food!

Being Dairy Free can make it tricky to get your probiotic’s which is why I was so excited when I found out about Kefir. It is a fermented milk drink made with kefir grains. It’s gluten-free and 99% lactose free and jam packed full of health benefits!

A bun in the oven

Well its been a little while since my last post and the reason is that I have been busy cooking up a…..baby!

Gluten and Dairy Free Key Lime Pie

A few years ago on a cruise with my family we stopped at Key West in Florida, it is one of the most charming place I have ever been! It’s a sunshine soaked town full of brightly coloured shops selling sea shells and candies, restaurants on the dockside and it’s all surrounded by clear blue water.
