Apple Pie-rogies

Warm apple pie-ish bites of goodness, these are scrumptious dipped in a cinnamon-spiced caramel sauce! This combination tastes of my childhood memories: eating apple pie with lots of cinnamon sauce!  A sweet, alternative way to use extra perogi dough!  

Grandma’s Brown Sugar Cookies

Grandma used to make these for special occasions and the homemade flavour still brings back wonderful memories. A thin, lemony glaze is the perfect compliment to the richness of the brown sugar base; add some coloured glaze and swirl for extra fun!  A great activity for a house-bound day!

Chocolate Hazelnut Snowballs

Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate goodness combines with roasted hazelnuts to make a little magic! Roll them in icing sugar or dip them in chocolate and then roll them in some roasted hazelnut crumbs. Either version freezes well and they make great gifts!  

Thetis Island Ginger Cookies

A taste of summer! Ginger cookies were always a part of a summer on Thetis Island, a beautiful, isolated place off the coast of Vancouver Island. This updated version has some added goodness and wonderful flavour!      

Caramel Apple Cake

I always get a craving for caramel apples in the autumn! This vegan Caramel Apple Cake satisfies those cravings and it is wonderful to use fresh, local apples, peel and all! It’s a moist and flavourful dessert that is also quick and easy!

SunCrisp Tofu

Enjoy the sunflower seed crunch and flavour in this easy, crispy coating! The tofu, marinated with garlic and spices is dipped in some crunch and then quickly fried to crunchy perfection. It is great on a bed of romaine lettuce, drizzled with some Caesary Salad Dressing!

Blueberry Crumble Scones

It’s blueberry season again! Time to treat yourself and your family or friends to some fresh Blueberry Crumble Scones! These are made with applesauce for an extra dash of goodness and a sweet crumble in the mix for a sweet surprise! Great fresh from the oven or split and toasted […]

Maple Pecan Spice Cake

In honour of my Dad’s love of maple and cake, and in honour of marigolds, here is a wonderfully pecan-rich, applesauce-moist, spice cake. The maple fudge icing is a lovely treat, and pairs well with a not-too-sweet cake. Happy Birthday, Dad!
