After spending the past couple of years fixing up old furniture I’ve come across a lot of rusted metal, it’s fairly straight forward to fix larger areas of metal with spray paint or just replace it with new hardware, but sometimes there’s smaller areas like the feet on furniture legs or accent inlays of metal that are rusted and you can’t replace them because you can’t source the parts.
I’m about to show you the easiest trick to make rusted metal look new again, anyone can do it!
Get yourself a metallic Sharpie pen, in this case I used gold.
I’ve become obsessed with dates. They are delicious on their own as a snack, but they’re also a great way to replace sugar in many recipes and baked goods or rethink the way you make traditional baked goods. This 2 layer no-bake date peanut butter bar recipe is refined sugar free but you’d never know because they’re so satisfying, chewy and delicious! Who knew a date peanut butter combo would be so good!
On weekends I like to indulge in a little baking and comfort food. This cheddar cheese scone recipe is one of my go to recipes for something quick and delicious for brunch or an afternoon tea.
I have a Kitchen Aid Mixer so I make them in 1 bowl and it takes no time at all with virtually no mess. I just throw all the dry ingredients in the bowl, mix together and then add in the butter, cheese and finally the milk.
When it all comes together I put it onto a cutting board and flatten the giant ball out with my hands until it’s even and then I cut into even wedges, transfer to a baking tray and about 10 minutes later, delicious crispy cheesy scones are ready!

Most macaroon recipes I’ve tried will tell you to use egg whites only, but the problem with that is figuring out what to make with the leftover yolks and personally I can’t be bothered, especially if… Read More »Recipe Adventure: Coconut Macaroons
Christmas is almost here and I like to spend my down time baking delicious things. My favorite cookie has to be a classic ginger snap. Nothing says Christmas like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove. My recipe is seriously simple and seriously good. The secret? I use fresh ginger! Using fresh ginger adds to the flavor and keeps the cookies moist. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center, they are to die for.

Do you own a juicer? If so, this recipe is for you. Occasionally I like to have a fresh juice for breakfast or lunch, but I get sad when I see how much pulp is left in the waste container when I’m done. I just can’t bring myself to throw it out! So yesterday I made a point to trim my fruits and veggies of any seeds before it went into the juicer so the pulp would be perfect for baking.
First lets review what went into my fresh juice:
5-6 large carrots
1-2 apples skin on, seeds removed
2 lemons peel and seeds removed
1 inch piece of fresh ginger
I took the juicer pulp from the waste container and set it aside while I prepared my ingredients for a fibre packed muffin. The muffins are perfect for breakfast or afternoon snack. If you’re curious, I have this Breville Juicer and I love it so much, it’s super easy to clean and makes great juice.
Here’s the recipe:

Holiday baking season is fast approaching, in fact I think it may already be here. Personally I don’t think it’s Christmas without cookies! Nothing is better than a home filled with the delicious smells of cookies baking. I’ve always loved shortbread because it’s easy to make and looks so pretty. This year I’ve added matcha green tea powder to the dough and thought I’d share the recipe with you.
These matcha green tea shortbread cookies have all the creaminess of regular shortbread, with a light flavour of matcha green tea.
Here’s the recipe:
