Beetroot Cake
Carrot cake is a long time favourite, so I thought it would be fun to try baking with another vegetable, namely beetroot. I loved how the colour turned out, and I thought that the earthy tones from the beetroot were nice. I used a chocolate frosting, but when I bake it again I’ll try a… Read more »

Tofu Bowl with PB Sauce

Grapefruit & Pear Fruit Platter
I made this fruit platter for my oldest son’s birthday last weekend. It was gone in minutes!

Details: Slices of apple and pear, orange, pink… Read more »
