They are definitely a treat because the smoked salmon can be spendy, but they are so delicious and everyone loves them. You can literally see people’s eyes light up when they see these salmon canapes (I know mine do!). I can’t resist the temptation of sneaking one before the party starts ;)....
For whatever reason, one of my sisters has brought a cheesy spinach artichoke dip to our last few family gatherings. It tastes quite good, but it’s so rich that 1/4 of that dip is a meal unto itself. I want to keep the spinach artichoke dip tradition alive during my Thanksgiving dinner this year with a dip of my own. I made a lighter version by leaving out on the cheese and sour cream and mixing in some cashew cream instead....

Sticky Toffee Pudding Recipe One of my favorite desserts to order at a restaurant are always these sticky toffee puddings.

It’s such a simple cake to make right at home and out of all the sticky toffee puddings I’ve tried, and I’ve tried many, I must say my version is the best....

He requested that I re-create his childhood memory and then just inhaled these as soon as they came out of the oven. I loved seeing that satisfied and very smug grin on his face as he was chomping into these. My son really loved them too so I guess this means we’re passing on the tradition!...
Why You’ll Love It It’s naturally sweetened. Instead of using refined sugar, sweet potato frosting gets its sweetness from baked sweet potatoes and pure maple syrup. Thanks to the addition of vanilla and almond extracts, it doesn’t taste like a “healthy” frosting. It’s colorful! Who needs artificial food coloring when sweet potatoes come in such beautiful hues? You can use orange sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, or white sweet potatoes to make different frosting colors with this recipe....

This Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe was inspired by Maui where mangos and pineapples grow wild and free (and where we’ve been hanging out for the past week). Even the pineapples in the Maui Costco are phenomenal. You could probably eat half of one and not have that burning tongue feeling. They’re locally grown and so incredibly sweet! We’ve been talking about taking a vacation for a loooong time....
Vegan Bread Pudding Recipe Because this vegan bread pudding is egg-free, it doesn’t have the same structure as a traditional bread pudding that fluffs-up when baked. Instead, it reminds me of a cross between a baked french toast casserole and the “monkey bread” I grew up eating. Which is a delicious combination! How to Make a Vegan Bread Pudding Sauce Traditional bread pudding is made with eggs and cream, so to replicate that bread pudding sauce I tried two different vegan egg substitutes....
