The side for the do-it-yourselfers, the adventurous bakers, and those that live a little to far away to make it to our bakery in person.

Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok.

Paleo "Snickers" Date Bites?
Make these stuffed dates for a super-easy, delicious, paleo, Snickers-like treat. Let me know if you try these with peanuts & PB. I used a pecan, and almond butter, since we're a peanut free facility. They even kinda LOOK like snickers inside too! This is WAY better than the VIRAL TikTok date bark recipe. Even faster, AND easier, BETTER texture, and BETTER ingredient proportions = 100% tastes like a snickers, even without peanuts (we used a pecan, and almond butter). Ingredie

Mary & Anjee's Oven Baked Falafel Recipe
Last week I flew to Grand Cayman to visit my friend, and she treated me to brunch at the South West Collective (Cafe) on the waterfront in Georgetown, where I ordered “Happy Eggs”, “Life Giving Toast” & Beet Falafel. (I made a YouTube short about it here: https://youtube.com/shorts/fEArBW3fgcI?feature=share ). They were sooooo good it inspired us to make falafel at her house later in the week, not once, but TWICE!! (TBH the first batch wasn’t falafel enough, so we HAD to give

🍒✨ Maple Syrup Orange Cranberry Sauce | Fresh & Easy
You have no excuses to use canned gelatinous cranberry sauce - making your own is super easy and you'll never go back to canned!! Watch how easy it is: https://youtube.com/shorts/b57pDkBj3Xc?feature=share Growing up with Dutch parents, we always had homemade applesauce on the table for Thanksgiving and Christmas—a bright, refreshing contrast to all the rich dishes.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe
In our house, zucchini season calls for double chocolate zucchini bread!! Back when I was little, my grandma would make us zucchini bread, using zucchinis they had grown in their backyard garden. Now we do it every time we get too many zucchinis, but with a healthier take on it. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and no refined sugar. No fancy steps or equipment required, and it's all mixed in one bowl, so easy clean up too. INGREDIENTS 1 large or 2 smaller zucchinis (after shredding y

Gluten Free & Actually Crunchy Battered Fish
Being English, fish & chips was a big part of my husbands' life. We used to have a "fish fry" almost every Sunday evening. But when I went gluten-free, I switched to pan-fried (unbuttered) fish that I would eat when he would do a fish fry. And slowly the fish fry tradition kind of fell away. Now, whenever my parents come to visit, he uses it as a "excuse" to do a fish fry, and I started working on a gluten-free batter. It took a few tries to get a batter that was tasty, and a

Grain-Free, Corn-Free Sorghum "Popcorn"
Photo: organic air-popped popcorn (left), with organic pan-popped sorghum (right). If you're looking for a grain-free/corn-free alternate to popcorn, give this recipe a try! It uses organic pseudo-grain sorghum in place of corn kernels, for a healthier alternative, and uses pretty much the same technique as stove-top popcorn. (We tried in the air-popper but the sorghum kernels are so light, they flew out before popping). Have you heard of sorghum? It's a nutrient packed pseud

Our Favourite Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Ever wonder what to do with all those seeds (after you've carved your Halloween pumpkins, or made some pumpkin pies)? Every Halloween we try different recipes roasting the pumpkin seeds. This year, this was the winner! We tried several different recipes from adding paprika & garlic powder, to everything bagel spice, to these guys. The secret... white vinegar! These were an attempt to make salt & vinegar flavoured pumpkin seeds (cuz our kids love S&V potato chips). And althoug

Chocolate Avocado Breakfast Pudding
Creamy, chocolatey pudding, made easy with only 3 ingredients. Add some optional toppings for crunch, and you’re all set for a sweet-tooth-satisfying breakfast, full of healthy fats to keep you full until lunch.

It's also great for when all your avocados and bananas go ripe at the same time, and you don't know what to do with th

DIY Tortilla/Pita Chips Recipe
Sticking with this week's "Creation Giveaway" theme, these make-your-own pita/tortilla chips are so quick & easy, you can make them in your oven in the time it takes to reheat leftover curry/soup. Or use them with your favourite dip or humus!! I don't know about you, but I totally miss corn. I used to put corn in my soups, our chili, and tortilla chips with salsa, dips or guac is just awesome. (And fresh Lafferty's corn on the cob!!! OMG. Don't we have the best corn here in E

This one is a little trickier and has a few extra ingredients than the pancake recipe, but its totally worth it! You will need: 2 cup almond flour 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tbsp cassava flour 1/4 cup tapioca flour 1 tbsp bak
