I can’t believe that this month is coming to another close…. It has been a super busy month for myself between midterm exams, papers, projects, redesigning the site, developing new recipes for you, and the list could go on forever, but I won’t bore you with that! I forgot to mention however that I got…
Sweets
Chocolate Caramel Bars
So to end this International Chocolate Week and International Dessert Day I decided to create a healthier version of caramel chocolate bars that kind of remind me of Twix or Big Turk bars (literally my favourite growing up!). Since switching to a plant-based diet however I have significantly reduced my sugar intake and when I…
Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse
This chocolate pumpkin mousse has to be one of the easiest recipes, it’s perfect for serving to guests because it makes a large batch! The healthy fats from the coconut milk, the antioxidants from cacao, seasonal squash, and sweetened with maple syrup makes this mousse the perfect combination. I will warn you though….. it is…
Raw Hazelnut and Pecan Brownies
The first time I ever made a raw dessert they were peanut butter caramel squares and I was hooked. The fact that I could make something taste so delicious without using any white sugar amazed me! That’s when I decided to change my diet to a more natural and wholesome plant-based diet to see how…
Carrot Cake Muffins
The best cake (in my humble opinion) is carrot cake without a doubt. I recently spent my nineteenth birthday in Disney World (the absolute dream right?), well to make matters even better I was surprised with a vegan carrot cake from Erin McKenna’s Bakery which was amazing- I’ve been dreaming about it ever since so…
7 Ingredient Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

Date Squares
Hi everyone! So I am super super excited to share this recipe with you because it is a classic from where I come from! Living on the east coast of Canada comes with so many classic dishes and some might seem a little strange to others. Most traditional eastern Canadian dishes definitely aren’t the healthiest;…
Banana, Almond, & Cranberry Biscotti
Hi all, so today I am coming at you with a vegan BISCOTTI recipe! I have no idea why I had a sudden urge to create biscotti, but it happened and I am not complaining about it one bit. As a kid my mom and I would go to a little café downtown and I…
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cookies
First off, I want to start off by sending my condolences to those in London- my heart goes out to you and I hope that you are safe. It feels so challenging sometimes in this era to feel safe and feel like everything is going to be ok. However, do not give up hope for…
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Caramel Squares
Eating a healthy and balanced diet means treating yourself- it’s ok to have treats in your diet, and I have the most notorious sweet tooth! Whether you want to make healthier choices or incorporate healthier sweet options with no refined sugar is completely up to yourself! On another note, my first thing that I made that were…
The Best Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Bread
Since transitioning to a diet lead by veg, I have found it incredibly difficult finding a vegan banana bread recipe that is on the healthier side but doesn’t taste bad. I always find myself baking a loaf that is always not cooked completely through… Therefore I did some jigging around with recipes to make the…
