This is one those recipes that I make all of the time without ever bothering to write out “How” it’s done. So today, I’ve decided to change that! As with most things cooked, you can adjust this easily with whatever tomato products or vegetables you have on hand. Personally, I love adding mushrooms to this […]
This recipe has become a pregnancy favourite. Although, I can’t really say that it’s just the pregnancy, since my husband is also loving it, and I liked it before I got pregnant as well… So yes. Basically, this is just a favourite, and has been more easily found in my fridge since I got pregnant. […]
Tea parties at home are the best. I remember having them when I was a little kid; my mom would occasionally want to make something sweet (or just create a special occasion for us), and then she’d spruce up an ordinary day by surprising us with something like this. Being homeschooled has a lot of […]
Sometimes life is a bit of blur. You know what I mean? You’re going along, working, thinking, spending time with people, and doing the normal day-to-day stuff, and then all of a sudden your realize… whoops.

I mentioned last week that I have been on the lookout for some grain-free, sugar-free recipes, and… look what I found! This is the epitome of simple, healthy, and delicious – because what’s not to love about a cookie packed with coconut?? The recipe is 4 ingredients and only takes a few minutes to whip […]
So this past week I’ve been on the hunt for recipes that meet some of the dietary needs of family members… and during the search, I came across this gem from the Beaming Baker blog! These soft, chewy oatmeal bars are gluten free and vegan, and the only sugar in them is in the chocolate […]
Vegan, gluten free, easy, dark chocolate, and truffles. Need I say more? This recipe for coconut cream truffles is so simple, so delicious, and so beautiful that I think they pretty much make the perfect gift (for yourself or someone else!). Why this recipe A few years ago, well before my blog was called NaomiCakes, […]
