In this continuous time of uncertainty, what better what to occupy ourselves by trying new recipes? I personally find cooking quitte meditative, especially baking as not much thinking goes into it. However, I need to be in the kitchen on my own without anyone bothering me or staring me down - I usually only accept … Continue reading Twix Bars
So I caved. I finally followed the heard and made banana bread. The overripe bananas were just staring me down one morning when I came down to make my breakfast smoothie! Lucky for me, there were 4 🙂 So I used 1 for my morning smoothie and 3 for this DELICIOUS Keto-friendly banana muffin recipe. … Continue reading Almond Flour Banana Muffins
Here we go again! 🙂 One thing that I'm quite happy about is that my brother is finally trying all the goodies I am making; he used to refuse as they are 'healthier' options to the 'normal' ones. But now it is taking him less time to finally try these baked goods I'm making to … Continue reading Double Chocolate Cupcakes
Since I can remember, I have always made 1 dessert for our family Christmas dinner. Recently however, it is not the same one every year. I find it an opportunity and a challenge to find a new recipe and give it a shot. Worst case scenario: there are always ice cream Christmas cake logs, Christmas … Continue reading Amaretto Almond Cake with Meringue Buttercream
This year I turned 24. For my birthday, I decided to combine it with two other of my friends who have their birthdays a few days apart.

Regardless, I am absolutely loving … Continue reading Gender Reveal Cupcakes! Chocolate & Vanilla 🙂

Banana bread!!! Generally we all have that one amazing recipe that is from our grandma … Continue reading Wheat Free Banana Blueberry Bread
After my last gluten free chocolate cake, all the comments I got from family and friends were literally, "they're so good but..." I hate but's. Anyways, "...but, we prefer brownie/fudge - like chocolate cakes." FINE. In their defense, I do too, but you have to try out different recipes right? Since that 'but' bothered me … Continue reading Arrowroot Brownies
So here's the catch: I recently discovered that I am intolerant to wheat and cow milk/cheese. Great 
Because of this I have to stop eating anything with these products for 6 months (I've yet to be able to keep it up for more than 6 days at a time - when I am ready … Continue reading Chocolate Coconut Cake
I am notorious for these chocolate chip cookies - they are literally the key to any man's heart, I kid you not! They tend to be quite the crowd pleaser, and the good thing is that you don't have to put choc chips, you can sub with any candy like M&Ms or Smarties for example. … Continue reading Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies
