Rhubarb is one of my favourite Spring treats and I love creating recipes to use up my bountiful harvests. Some of our favourite recipes include Grandma’s Rhubarb Fluff (with Jello) and this great tomato free Rhubarb Barbecue Sauce which is amazing on grilled chicken and pork chops. Strawberry Rhubarb Greek Yogurt Cake Do you love a moist bundt bursting with loads of flavour? This cake has it all; a tender, moist crumb without being too heavy or dense and a tangy-sweet flavour that makes you crave another slice. The classic Spring flavour combination of strawberries and rhubarb adds enough flavour for the cake to stand on its own, however the sweet pink glaze really is icing on the cake. It’s...

I absolutely LOVE this twist on a traditional chocolate cake! The SO Delicious Unsweetened Plain Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative is the star of this recipe. It makes this cake SO moist and delicious! To keep it gluten free, we used a mixture of my favorite grain free flours: cassava, almond, and coconut. The cocoa...
I woke up yesterday with a little more lightness in my heart than had been there earlier this week. And when I’m feeling lighthearted, my first instinct is to bake. There are so many things I might have posted on this Easter Sunday. Hot cross buns, which I’ve been wanting to make (and make well—my last batch was a total fail) for a while. Pie. A brunch dish, like French toast. Chocolate eggs. Any number of different cakes. But all I’ve been able to think about is carrot cake. Maybe not surprising, since carrot cake is my favorite cake. And since cake is my favorite dessert, that puts carrot cake at the top of my treats hierarchy. This isn’t my...
