It’s been over a month since I’ve posted on Simply Pure Simply Fresh and man do I miss blogging! As a teacher, I always look forward to last weeks of June because I build all these great expectations for the summer months and before you know it, I am setting up my class and I’m […]
Ok I know the title is long, but each ingredient is so important to the creation of these muffins that I had to include them all! I love making muffins. I always find them the right size to devour (one is satisfying enough), they are perfect for travel and when I make a big batch […]
This Lent season has been moving along quite well surprisingly. I have been keeping up with this flourless and dairy-less diet better than I thought, but man do I still crave chocolate. Listen, I may have given up grain and dairy, but I’m still human right? I decided to research vegan and flourless cookies and […]
Ahh Valentine’s Day! The one time of the year where chocolate and roses are triple in price! I never really cared so much about this holiday until I became a mom. I know, I know, everything changes when you become a parent, but for some reason your attitude towards holidays completely change once you have […]
There is nothing like a buttery shortbread during the holidays or even with your afternoon tea. This cookie is so versatile that it’s no wonder so many people enjoy making them. You can make them sweet or savoury. Add herbs, fruit, chocolate, the possibilities are endless! I personally like them plain and simple. I have […]
I have been on a non-stop holiday baking ride these days! We are less than one week from Christmas! Ahhh!!! Have you got all your shopping done? If you’re hosting are you ready for your menu? Being home this year for the holidays I thought I would be way more prepared, but instead I am […]
A few weekends ago, I visited my in-laws to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday. I wanted to make a dessert, but to be honest it’s hard to make something new with different ingredients, hoping everyone will enjoy it. I decided to stick to two flavours I knew that everyone at the dinner would enjoy, […]
I am now entering my tenth month of maternity leave and I have to say I am in a rut. I was exclusively breastfeeding until five months, and up until then I was losing weight to the point where I was skinnier than my pre-pregnancy body. Now that Emilia is eating more solids and I’m […]
I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get enough of pumpkin spice and everything nice! I’ve busted out the pumpkin spice scented candles, got my glass pumpkins out and I’m ready to wear my extra layer of fall clothing. The other day I had made my banana oat muffins and decided to add […]
The first week of school has come to an end and being home it’s been really slow here at home. If I were at work, I’d be in bed by 8 up by 6 and always on the go. With Emilia around I need to start thinking about snacks I can prep ahead of time, […]
