Tis the season for candy, candy canes, candy corn and maple syrup(bonus points if you know what movie that is from)! And if you’re like me, you squeeze cookies onto that list as well.
Like orange cardamom cookies.
Dipped in chocolate.
That are also paleo AND vegan.
If you need me i’ll be over here eating cookies.

OK, this is decadence. It’s not a not your average hot chocolate kind of thing. I would more likely call this a dessert. It is rich, slightly sweet and a little bitter and oh so warming. You might be able to split this with a loved one by the fireplace. Huzzah! Are you ready to give it a go?
Do you have a favourite nut? Almond? Cashew? Brazil? Pecan? How about hazelnuts?? I do love my hazelnuts but honestly can’t convince myself to pick a favourite. It’s like picking a favourite child. HOW CAN I NARROW IT DOWN?! I LOVE THEM ALL. Which is why I love making my own nut butters. It is EASY and DELICIOUS with an added bonus of avoiding any unwanted fillers. weeee!!
Are you ready to give it a try?
Peach season is coming to a close. It’s sad but true. We had a good run this summer and I even managed to get some late summer popsicles in. I feel as though I need to embrace the start of fall and school and sweaters and boots and pumpkin spice lattes. However, it is still hot as a sauna outside so instead, I have decided to meet fall halfway with a little bit of summer. These Roasted Peaches with a Cashew Cardamom Cream do just that! Juicy, drippy, perfectly ripe peaches with a flavourful fall-like cardamom cream. Easy, simple and delicious.

Do you want to bring your brunch game to the next level in less than ten minutes? Do I hear a heck yes! IMO, adding rose to anything always takes it up a notch. Like this Honey and Rose Broiled Grapefruit. Not only does it take less than 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish but it has a beautiful, subtle hint of rose that comes across as super fancy. We all know by now how much I love my rose and cardamom (Rose Cardamom Latte, Orange Cardamom Caramel) and I think that cardamom, rose and honey combine so effortlessly together. You hardly have to do any work and the ingredients will mingle together beautifully. Are you ready to try it?
I spent this past weekend fighting the crowds at the One of A Kind Show here in Toronto. Despite the hoardes of people I still go each year because it’s jam packed with crafters and makers from across the country and is the perfect place to buy gifts for the holidays. I appreciate practical gifts or gifts that provide an experience but every once and awhile it is nice to give something just because it’s beautiful. Here are some of my fav finds from the One of A Kind Show that make great presents (including to your yourself!)
