Cake For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Eats
Bon Appetite is a beautifully curated magazine for the foodies of the world. The layout, the recipes, the pictures- they really do a fabulous job of capturing everything I could want from a magazine including this delicious carrot cake recipe Mikaela came across the other day while flipping through.

Magically Delicious

Eats
In my Youtube subscription box this week from TeenVogue, popped up this amazing video for Lucky Charm ice-cream sandwiches....Lucky Charm treats are something that I make on a decent basis using this super simple recipe here! Think Rice crispy squares but substituting one childhood cereal for the next. Amazing. Now taking something so gooey, sugary and delicious to the next level was almost too much for me to handle, which meant I had to share it with you!

Guinness Chocolate Cake

Eats
It's that time of year where second winter tends to hit this side of the hemisphere. It's that hope you feel in your chest that spring is just around the corner and then BAM, winter's back.

 Instead of crying and crawling back into bed and waiting for May to come around, you should bake this cake and then crawl back into bed. With St. Patrick's day around the corner, there's no better time to make a guinness chocolate cake.

In Theory This Was A Good Idea...

Eats
The plan for this weeks post was to make super yummy fruit cubes you could put into your yogurt for breakfast, or defrost them into a jar for a quick smoothie, or to snack on them throughout the day... but to be perfectly honest the did not turn out. So, what follows is my super cute photos of fruit and even mushy-er fruit!

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Eats
Monkey pull apart bread is a recipe I stumble across more times than I can count, yet I've never made it... mostly because it looks so complicated and I never take the time to actually read through the recipe. Good news all around though, it's extremely easy to make, 100% fool proof and it's pretty much a dream come true with bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter being the only ingredients. Need I say more?

Cookie Monster... Or Monster Cookies?

Eats
Anything falling under the category of dessert (and of course chips... lots of chips) is the key to our hearts. This is a chocolate chip cookie recipe I found while creeping Tanya Burr's blog! It is hands down the easiest recipe I have ever made, and to be honest, the most delicious. These cookies are so large that the entire recipe only makes about 10 cookies... and yes it's completely acceptable to eat an entire cookie, maybe even two!

Nothing beats the smell of christmas

Eats
There is something about the smell of Christmas that's like no other. Every year I always comment about how excited I am for the smell of the Christmas tree or the freshly baked cookies I've got going in the oven. By far though, one of my favourites is mulled wine!
Mulled wine is something I have never actually made myself, but have always enjoyed drinking! When I was searching for a recipe, there were so many variations that I couldn't choose between them, so I decided to mash a few together for the perfect recipe!

Shakshuka

Eats
This is one of those recipes that you're gonna make ten times over because it's way too easy and so satisfying. Shakshuka and I have been friends for awhile now but I haven't made a batch in what feels like ages.

So what is it? It's a Tunisian dish that involves cooking eggs in a spicy tomato sauce and the flavours pack a punch. It also smells so intoxicating, and warms you up from the inside out thanks to the chilis.

With the temperature dropping, I find myself coming back to this again and again these past few weeks and I think I've had it for breakfast almost every single day. It's super easy to divide up into ramekins and individually bake the eggs in the oven instead of finishing the eggs on the stove. Pre-portioning is my jam since it lets me grab breakfast on the go when I'm running late for work. This recipe comes from David Lebovitz who I've been following for a very long time now and I find it works perfect every time. Another fantastic shakshuka recipe to check out is Yotam Ottolenghi's who's recipe you can find in his book Jerusalem. Happy cooking!

And like that, Winter is Here

Eats
It’s the beginning of November and my Uggs and parka are here to stay and I am completely okay with that. To combat the dreary-ness of the cold weather that has graciously made its way into our lives, Pam and I have created a twist on the classic hot chocolate you know and love.

Note: Use good chocolate if you can find it, we used a super beautiful dark Varlhona chocolate here, it makes a world of difference! 
Lets get started!

Sour Cherry Gin Fizz

Eats
Summer is long gone and the breeze blowing around has been getting colder and colder every day. But a girl can dream, we're trying to make the most of the few warm days we have left around here. Sour cherries are something that come around here in August and with my backyard overflowing with them, I find myself putting these ubiquitous little gems into everything. 
One of my favourite things to do is make a sour cherry gin fizz, it's super tart and refreshing and just the lil kick of sunshine I need to salute these unusually warm October days goodbye.
