Pumpkin Donuts

October 20, 2016

I can’t say I’m a raving fan of donuts, but when cute little images of homemade donuts kept popping up on my Instagram feed, I was intrigued. Coupled with a sale on doughnut pans at William Sonoma, it was like a sign – Neelam make donuts – in my head it sounded like Homer Simpson. So naturally I obliged and made Pumpkin Donuts, ’tis the season after all!

Judging by the speed at which these disappeared, I’d venture to say this recipe is a winner. Easy, delicious and oh so cute! While denser and more like a cake than a fried doughnut, glazed or tossed in cinnamon sugar, they are the perfect weekend or mid week treat 😉

Pumpkin Cheesecake

October 5, 2016

In an effort to change things up and exercise portion control, this year we’re celebrating Thanksgiving with individual mason jar Pumpkin Cheesecakes. While I’m only half joking about the portion control, I just knew I wanted to do a dessert in these darling mini mason jars when I first spied them. And these cheesecakes are the perfect Holiday treat for them, light, fluffy and bursting with seasonal flavours.

Now before you convince yourself that making mini cheesecakes is going to be too much work, I assure it’s not. It’s the same process as a regular cheesecake, with just a few extra minutes required to fill the jars individually. Since mason jars lend themselves to a rustic feel, no skill or perfection required! And let’s be honest, individual servings instantly make a dessert appear so much fancier than it is 😉 However, if you don’t have mini mason jars, I’ve included steps to make a regular 9-inch cake as well, I wouldn’t want you to miss out!

Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Cake

August 1, 2016

There is so much to be excited about in the Summer months – longer days, warmer temps, and fresh produce – in particular blueberries, hands down my favorite berry! So it’s no wonder the abundance of fresh, delicious BC Blueberries at this time of year, has me completely tickled! For me blueberries have the perfect sweetness and texture – no seeds to deal with or furry, bumpy surfaces. Like most berries, they are incredibly versatile, from sweet to savory and everything in between. But you know me, I tend to lean towards the sweet, so this Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Cake was perfect.
