This noteworthy double chocolate beetroot cake is beyond good; it's sure to surprise unsuspecting palates. Beets are naturally sweet, and despite their distinctive flavour, they pair really well with chocolate...so well that they're practically undetectable in this recipe. Not only are beets full of fiber and other healthful nutrients, they can be surprisingly decadent. Topped with ...

Chocolate Dipped Olive Oil Biscotti
These chocolate dipped olive oil biscotti are a healthier variation of this traditional Italian cookie (what could be more Italian than olive oil). These Biscotti are high in fiber, contain omega three, and are made from a base of sprouted spelt flour.

Edible Vegan Gingerbread Cookie Ornaments
Gingerbread has a special place in my heart...perhaps it's the German in me, or the fact that I never really had the western variety growing up. Lebkuchen, or German gingerbread, was found aplenty in or home during the holidays, and while it's delicious on it's own, I prefer North American gingerbread any day. Today on BAKED the Blog, I'm sharing with you my recipe for vegan gingerbread cookies ...

Chocolate Matcha Tea Cupcakes [vegan]
This week, I'm taking the traditional chocolate cupcake to *ahem* greener pastures over on BAKED the Blog. Not that there is anything wrong with a good, old fashioned chocolate cupcake, however, there's something to be said for combining chocolate and matcha green tea. If you caught my baking with Matcha tutorial on BAKED earlier this week, you're hopefully feeling inspired to give it a try. The ...

Holiday Chocolate Bundt Cake w/ Peppermint Ganache [vegan]
Happy Holidays! Can you believe it's already December 19th? This girl is still a tad in shock! It's snowing a boatload on the island, and I'm so happy to be back inside from shoveling, what is in essence, wet cement! Every year around Christmas time, I look forward to making some sort of elaborate sweet creation; the holidays are my time to shine in the kitchen and the time when ...
Holiday Homemade Tea Blends + GIVEAWAY with AllClad
-This giveaway is now closed- December has arrived and with it, all the cozy holiday ‘feels’ associated with this most wonderful time of year. My heart gets especially glow-y when I hear the echo of Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby in the distance as I work away. I just love the holidays and the extra time at home with friends and loved ones! Our holidays are kept minimal and simple, but ...
