Ok, so being the big liar that I am, I’m opting to do a “real” (aka what I’d actually intended to post last week) New Year’s post. It’s a week late technically, but if you really think about, today is actually my first post of 2018 so it’s really my first post of the New Year, so […]

A Boy Named Tiramisu
December 31 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Candy
I mean, who wouldn’t want that for a name? Oh Johnny Cash, things could’ve been so different for your titular song character if only a “Tira-” had been added to his name. There’s a reason people always nickname their loved ones after delicious treats (Sweetie Pie, Sugar, Honey, Babe….uh…that last one might mean your loved one […]
150 Eh? Let’s See Some ID: Don’t Be Blue About Grunt Work, It’s East-y To Do
July 23 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Bread, Other Desserts, Pie
It’s the final week! I know, I’m sad too. But don’t let it get you down. If you’re feeling blue, this recipe will take those blues and turn them into berries. Delicious delicious, east-coasty berries. This week, in an hômage to the maritime provinces, I bring you the blueberry grunt. I had technically never hear […]
Brittle Me This
May 22 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Candy, Cookies, Other Desserts
Let me just get right to it this week, because I can’t even begin to describe how in love with this brittle I am. In one of my many hours of online recipe stalking, I stumbled across a bunch of different sites that had recipes for quinoa brittle (the photos actually all look disturbingly like […]
Honey, I Love Your (Crunchy) Muffin Top
March 12 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Candy, Cupcakes, Other Desserts
We all know that I clearly have no illusions about this being a “healthy” blog. Despite common misconceptions, just because something is vegan does not mean it’s healthy. Now can we all please pass this message on to the blogosphere and/or the internet/world in general? To be perfectly honest, I’m sure more people would come […]
An Apple (Chip) A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
January 08 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Other Desserts
So I actually made these quite a while ago, back when, if you remember, I had an insane overabundance of apples to get through. After a couple of weeks, realizing the apples in my fridge were still taking up an inordinately large percentage of some much needed chill factor real estate, I started trying to […]
Oh Come All Ye Fudgeful
December 18 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy
The third time really was a charm with these. I almost quit after my first two attempts (of which there is no photographic evidence as I don’t think anyone needs to see my epic fails. I’m still telling you about it, but I have to draw the line somewhere 😉 Ok, that’s not even true really. […]
Game of Scones: Sundried Tested And True
November 06 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Bread, Cake
This was originally intended to be a one off post for scones. My decision making abilities being absolute nil however “forced” me to turn this into a themed month. What could I do? You see, I’ve never made scones in my life (and though I find them absolutely delicious, I’ve only even eaten them a […]
The Dixie Chick(pea)s: Cowboy Bake Me Away
October 21 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Brownies, Cake
Yes, you read that title right, and no, this is not a savoury concoction. The idea for these, as with many baked goods for me, came from all my previous experimentation with aquafaba (aka the brine from canned chickpeas). I got a little overzealous on that front, and many, many cans of chickpeas later, I […]
