Combine oats and milk. Refrigerate. Eat. That’s where this post would have ended. Because overnight oats are THAT easy. Seriously the most convenient way to keep breakfast ready for those manic mornings where you’re sure you forgot to put on one item of clothing. But the thing is, even quick breakfasts need to taste great….

S’mores with Homemade Graham Crackers
I really never thought I’d want to buy marshmallows and eat them. I’ve tried them, decided they were too sugary and too gooey for me and oh my god, never again. But, if you sandwich them with melty chocolate and the most incredible honeyed graham crackers, plus call them ‘s’mores’, apparently I’ll eat anything. Despite them…
Oreo Cupcakes
We’re going all out today with cookies inside and on top of cupcakes. These are buttery little cakes, filled with chopped chocolate Oreos (I’m not a fan of the vanilla version, although feel free to use whatever flavour you like), topped with a quick chocolate buttercream frosting that’s not too sweet, made with Dutch-process cocoa…
Healthy Carrot Muffins
Every so often, a respectable dessert isn’t a bad idea at all. The less the guilt, the more you can eat. Or at least, that’s my logic. Bonus points when said dessert tastes like a million bucks! These carrot muffins are free of added fats and refined sugar, plus they’ve got….carrots. Veggies in cake, yay!
No-Churn Mocha Ice Cream
I’m in so much trouble. If making no-churn ice cream was even a teeny little harder, I’d probably not be getting into this every week. But I’m here now, and regrets are pointless. Plus, I get to eat ice cream at the end of it all. So let’s do this!
Date and Walnut Shortbread (Eggless)
I don’t know if it’s some sort of consequence of adulting, but all of a sudden, I have no objections to dates. Really, this was not an ingredient I thought of with even remote fondness or ever had a “hey, maybe today I’ll make something with dates” instinct. Because I mean, there are chocolate chips, you know? But…
Peanut Butter & Banana Granola Bars (Vegan/GF)
It’s a new week and having some good-for-you snacks on hand is a great way to begin it. Soft, chewy granola bars packed with peanut butter and banana, drizzled with just enough chocolate to elevate them from ‘nutritious breakfast’ to ‘socially acceptable dessert’. Yes please!
White Wine Risotto with Roasted Veggies
I am abnormally excited about this recipe. Mainly because this is finally a risotto that turned out exactly the way I hoped it would. Not that I’ve made it a ton of times or anything, probably because MasterChef made it sound like an impossible achievement? But no, it’s the way I wanted it to be…
Blueberry Streusel Cake
OMG, this cake!!! I dream of it, I really do. Soft, moist and so flavourful with butter, blueberries and a crumbly streusel topping. I mean, yum. Seriously, this is one of the best cakes I’ve eaten, EVER.
