I know this isn’t the first time I’ve posted a recipe with chocolate and bananas (like Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Cookies, Chocolate Banana Ice Cream, and Banana Maple Brownies) but I just can’t help myself! It’s one of my favourite flavour combinations. Bananas make this loaf nice and moist, while the cocoa powder makes it a little more…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars
I like having a stash of chocolate treats that I keep all to myself, in case of emergency chocolate cravings. These little chocolate peanut butter coconut treats are stashed in my freezer, and I’m pretty sure nobody knows they’re in there but me. I’d like to keep it that way, because they’re way too good to share. …
Orange Yogurt Loaf
The first time I made this loaf was for Ayla to take to daycare to celebrate her birthday. I figured the daycare staff and the other parents might not appreciate me giving the kids a sugary treat, so I decided I’d go with something healthy and low in sugar. I still wanted it to be…
Apple Pumpkin Snack Cake
My boys are like eating machines lately. They pack huge lunches, but still come home from school ravenous, searching through the cupboards for something good to fill their tummies. They don’t mind snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables, but they really love baked goods like granola bars, cookies, muffins, and snack cake. I don’t have much time during the week to…
Zucchini Blueberry Muffins
I know, I know – I already posted a zucchini muffin recipe this summer (Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins), but these zucchini blueberry muffins were too good not to share. And I figure there are a lot of you with an overabundance of zucchini right now who would be grateful for finding a new and delicious…
Grain Free Scones
My mom shared these amazing grain free scones with me, and I’m sharing them at Health Starts in the Kitchen today. They’re gluten-free, high in fibre, low in carbs, and sugar-free. Please see my guest post to read more!
Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins
I am up to my eyeballs in cherries right now. Tony brings them home from work by the bucketful, so I’ve been trying to find ways to use them up. I decided to try using them in muffins, and I thought chocolate and cherries would go well together. And I figured why not throw a zucchini in…
Design Your Own Snack Mix #SummerWithChex
Summer is finally here, and my boys have already uttered the dreaded words “I’m bored” numerous times this past week. I work from home, so I’ve been trying my best to keep them occupied while I’m busy. They spend a lot of time kicking the ball around in the backyard, or if the weather isn’t nice, they’ll be inside playing Minecraft, Lego, or board-games….
Chocolate Cashew Cookies
I don’t think I fully understood how much my mom loves me until I became a mom myself. I’ve only been a mother for a small fraction of my life, and yet I can’t even fathom my life without my children now. In fact, I’ve felt this way from the moment I looked at the helpless new face of my first baby. The nurse brought…
Frozen Yogurt-Coated Grapes
Easter’s almost here and the kids are getting excited about all the candy that the Easter Bunny is going to be bringing them…oh goodie. Okay, so I’m a little less thrilled about the whole candy thing than they are. It’s not that I don’t like candy, but it seems like we are bombarded with sugary…
