Gluten-free chocolate chip almond cookies

Six years ago today, I met my sweetie for coffee for the first time. We had met two months before, seen each other a few times, but hadn’t yet clicked. The last time I saw him was at a holiday party I had organized at my apartment, where he accidentally left his scarf behind. The coffee meetup was meant as a way to return his scarf. I can still remember that timid, getting-to-know-you conversation over steaming cups of chai tea lattes and his cute reaction when I gave him a bag of homemade cookies.

Best-ever butter tarts

When I was young, my grandmother used to make butter tarts at this time every year and it’s safe to say they were a family favourite.

For my family, they were a highlight of special occasions.

Pumpkin spice granola

I meant to stop myself after the first five spoonfuls, but before I knew it, I looked down and saw only a small puddle of almond milk and few random oat flakes sticking to the edges of the otherwise empty glass bowl.

Brazil nut fudge

Happy World Vegan Day! Did you even know there is such a day? Well, it’s true.

To celebrate, I thought I’d share my latest fudge recipe, which was actually one of the contenders for inclusion in the Tiny Treats ebook but it didn’t make the cut for two simple reasons: we already had quite a few chocolate recipes, and I felt at the time that it wasn’t quite perfect. Since then, I’ve played with ingredient selections and varying ingredient amounts–the Treat of the Month Club members have received test samples over the last two months–and I have finally come up with what I think is a pretty damn fine fudge. And it’s made with only five ingredients to boot.
