There are always a couple of bananas on the counter that go just a little too ripe. Yesterday, instead of letting them sit there any longer, I decided to turn them into something comforting—a whole wheat chocolate banana loaf (soft, moist & easy recipe). It felt like just […]

I made these easy whole wheat apple muffins just yesterday, and as I sit here typing this, I have to admit—I’m definitely tempted to reach for another one. There’s something about them that’s hard to resist. Maybe it’s the soft, moist crumb, or the gentle sweetness, or simply […]

Not everything I make this season is about sweets — though those certainly have their place! Sometimes, it’s the savoury nibbles, like these baked, seeded lentil crackers, that bring just as much comfort, especially when they come warm from your own oven, full of good things and no […]

This Peanut and Banana Bread was made quite some time ago. This is a wonderful smelling and tasting bread. It had a sort of spongy texture and had a nice bite from the bits of peanuts. I love baking bread- kneading the dough, watching it rise and smelling […]

This Baked Lemon and Garlic Cod is a very light, quick and easy dish to rustle up. It is perfect dish to rustle up on busy weekdays. Every time cod makes its appearance in our house, D eyes light up at the thought of some deep fried battered […]
