Recipe: Natural Red Velvet Cake
It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow! Perfect time for a natural red velvet cake – and it’s naturally coloured, not with a whole bottle of chemical food colouring – yuck. What’s the secret? Beets!

Recipe: Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
What else can you do with a box of cake mix? Make cookies!! Let’s get baking these chocolate cake mix cookies. Ingredients box of chocolate cake mix 2 eggs 1/2 cup of canola oil 3/4 cup of Skor bits 3/4 cup of Reese’s peanut butter chips Mix the first 3 ingredients together. I find that it’s better if you mix it all by hand – using your mixer adds in too much air. Next, gently stir in your candy. Roll into 1 inch balls and…

Recipe: Salad Rolls
I love salad rolls – yet paying 8.99$ each time at the store for them seems a bit ridiculous when they’re easy to make. Great for lunches, too! For these salad rolls, I used 22cm rice papers, they do make them bigger, but I find it difficult to make them tight when they’re too big. Your choice! Ingredients 7-9 rice wraps 4-6 leaf lettuce leaves a cucumber 2 carrots 1 avocado Dipping Sauce Ingredients 2 1/2 tablespoons of rice vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons of fish…

Recipe: Mini Corn Dog Muffins
Corn Dogs? Yes, please! This Saturday we were cleaning up in the basement – organizing and sifting though some old stuff. It was fun, especially all the memories that popped up. Since we were hard at work, I didn’t really feel like composing a time consuming lunch. We don’t often by chicken hot dogs, but we did have them in the fridge. I mixed up some of the best corn bread ever – you need to find this at a store near you! Always keep…
