Skillet cake

If you have blueberries around, this skillet cake is where it's at! Personally, I'm not usually very into sweets, so I made this cake with the least amount of sugar and it turned out so delicious. 🫐

The result is a not-too-sweet cake made with natural ingredients, in a skillet, perfect for sharing! 🫐

One week after the birthday celebration, the carrot cake seems to taste even better 😄 Maybe it’s because this is the last of it...?

Seriously though, when you use primo ingredients, sometimes the product ages well. I learned that this is definitely true for pound cake: even slightly stale, it is buttery and divine

Two of my favorite things combined so beautifully - flour and fabric

This is brilliant!

After a major mishap - dumping half of the unbaked pie into the oven - I managed to salvage the project by making another batch of filling, and turning the extra into a loaf of pumpkin bread. All’s well that ends well!

Bread is real food

English Muffins. I love how bread dough is so forgiving. Froze some leftover whole wheat dough, then left it on the counter to thaw, 2 days ago. Kept punching it down because I wasn’t ready! Then finally just decided to bake it on the stovetop. Voila!

Celebrating the day after Canada Day with a local food Sunday breakfast: Red Fife pancakes with artisan flour from K2 Milling, Murphy's Farm Market & Bakery strawberries, back yard rhubarb and 's Sugar Shack maple syrup from Lisle, Ontario. Divine!!!!

Very pleased with the results of my 100% Red Fife wheat bread. Amazing color & flavor thanks to artisan locally grown & milled wheat from K2 Milling Totally hooked.

Starting a batch of bread with this amazing artisanal flour that tastes sweet straight out of the bag. And look at the COLOR--gorgeous, subtle pink. My hopes are running high

My Butter Biscuits making the house smell like heaven

Fruit & Nut Bread -- this started as overnight oats that was left over. Oatmeal with honey and lots of dried fruit and nuts, yogurt and milk, cinnamon. There was about 1-1/2 cups left, so I brought to room temp, added yeast, flour, oil and salt.

Mini brownies with peanut butter swirl: these are a guaranteed hit.

I'm calling this lunch--Vegan Corn Muffins, spiked with whole kernel corn, garlic & onions, plus a little cayenne pepper, cumin and nutritional yeast. Egg substitute: aquafaba! My first experiment with it. instead of 2 eggs-- 6 tablespoons of the water drained from a can of garbanzo beans. Amazingly, the texture mimics eggs. This was for one bag of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread Mix. Sub'd unsweetened soy milk for the dairy. So, vegan AND Gluten free.

Savory baked things make for an easy dinner--add a tossed salad & maybe a glass of wine and that's it!

I saved a bit of dough from the Angel Biscuits I made on New Year's Day, and put it in the freezer. All I did today was let it thaw and rise, then baked off the biscuits. Dough is so easy like that! Yummy warm biscuits - mmmm!

These are now on my list to make this season - YUM!

Polish kołaczki are flaky little pastries popular for the holidays. These cookies are filled with fruit, cheese, nut or poppy seed pastes.

11/05/2016

Biscuits don't have to be round, and if you're in a hurry, just cutting the dough like this is quick and there's less waste. I simply patted these out - no rolling. Also, they're mostly whole wheat flour, so not as light but substantial and flavorful

09/30/2016

Definitely going to try this, but won't use Duncan Hines cake mix. I will try substituting an organic cake mix, such as Immaculate Baking Co. or Dr. Oeteker's.

Is it Fall yet? Apple Crumble with homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream makes me think it is, even though the days are still hot.

Hm....this seems worth a try, for sure

If you know me, you know I love some chocolate cake. Chocolate frosting is the only kind of frosting I’ll eat–everything else just tastes like sugar. So it came as the biggest surprise to me that I fell in love with this vegan, egg-free, butter-free
