A slightly more nutritious version of this beloved sweet, these vegan cinnamon rolls are high in fiber yet still soft and super gooey. A simple brown sugar glaze drizzled on top makes for a super delicious indulgence with a cup of coffee or for Sunday brunch.

Strawberry Streusel Loaf [vegan]
It’s officially Spring! Rhubarb is just starting to emerge from its winter-y bed and strawberry plants are slowly waking up in this gorgeous sunshine we’re having. So far, it’s been a good start to the season and I couldn’t be more thrilled to get growing. Today, I’m sharing this simple strawberry streusel cake as an early homage to the season over on Baked The Blog. This cake is vegan ...
Spelt Shortcakes w Kombucha Macerated Strawberries & Dairy-Free Vanilla Whip
A new take on the traditional strawberry shortcake. Kombucha adds a great sour-sweetness to the strawberries which perfectly pairs with rich dairy-free vanilla whip piled high on a spelt shortcake. This recipe requires advanced planning for the vanilla whip (approx. 12 hours), or simply use your favourite brand of non-dairy whip for a faster prep time. This recipe was partially inspired by Dolly ...
Quick Pickled French Breakfast Radishes
An easy way to prepare seasonal radishes from the market or garden! Tart, sweet and salty with great crunch. The pickling process needs a minimum of 8 hours, but prep is quick and they make an easy condiment to keep on hand for sandwiches or salads! Because these are not canned, they need to stay refrigerated when not in use. I have a really quick recipe for you today! The radishes have ...
Rhubarb Cinnamon Oat Crumble

I've patiently waited for the perfect time to harvest the rhubarb. It's been on my mind the ...
CITRUS LAVENDER SCHORLE
A effervescent non-alcoholic traditional German sparkling beverage. Strong notes of citrus are accompanied by a beautiful sweet flavour and bouquet of lavender, created by infusing dried lavender flowers into a simple syrup mixture. This recipes makes extra lavender syrup so you can enjoy this Schorle all summer long! It's best to keep any left overs in a sealed bottle in the fridge to ...

SPRING ROAST POTATO SALAD w/ SUNFLOWER DIJON TOSS
Well, it's been quite the interesting week around here. Spring has officially arrived and with it, hasty last minute garden work. With the untrustworthy weather lately, it's been a slow start to planting any seedlings... moody high and low temperature swings made it seem we were headed for another frost. Nevertheless, it's certainly the right time to start digging, watering and nurturing; ...
