Welcome!

Hi! I’m Christy, a happy wife and mother to three boys, a nutritionist, a food lover and a Canadian. Creating and experimenting in the kitchen is my idea of an afternoon well spent. To me, a clean kitchen is an empty canvas of possibility and that means my kitchen never stays clean for long. My dream is that one or more of the recipes I share here will inspire you, perhaps even becoming a cherished family favourite.

Food Philosophy

I believe in reaching for whole foods, fermented foods, full-fat dairy products and sneaking nutrient-packed egg yolks into my diet whenever possible. I bake with healthy fats, healthy flours such as buckwheat flour, oat flour, spelt, einkorn and rye and natural sweeteners like coconut sugar, honey and maple syrup without sacrificing taste. However! That doesn’t mean the occasional indulgence won’t sneak in. Life is about balance after all.

      Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Brownies

      August 9, 2021 / 10 Comments

      These gluten-free buckwheat flour brownies are fudgy and chocolatey. They really call for a tall glass of ice-cold milk. In the big wide world of brownie recipes, you have three texture options: chewy, cakey or fudgy. These brownies are fudgy! And sweetened with only coconut sugar and semi-sweet chocolate chips. In my opinion, fudgy really is the best brownie texture.
