This weekend is special – it’s my birthday! I’m 31 years old and all I wanted to do to celebrate was eat fried chicken and ice cream. I guess I’m at that age where I don’t want to go out and party anymore I just want to chill out. Work has been absolutely draining me …
Most of my recipes are easy, because I like being able to whip up cookies or scones or any meal in my repertoire on a weeknight. Life is difficult enough, I like easy more often than not in the kitchen. This recipe, however, is not a throw together on a Wednesday night kind of recipe. …
This recipe does something special for me, and that is it makes me feel normal on keto. There are so many meals that are easy enough to keto-fy, and there are an amazing number of products on the market now that serve as keto-friendly substitutes to very carby things (such as bread or pizza crust). …
Have you ever had a broiled grapefruit? For me, it’s the only way to eat grapefruit. They are DELICIOUS. I always think of people on sad diets when I think of eating a grapefruit for breakfast but adding a little brown sugar and vanilla extract then popping it under the broiler of your oven turns …
My freezer woes combined with finishing up my degree and my honours program has kept me away from ice cream making for what feels like forever. However, the summer is here and this is prime ice cream time and I’ve been yearning to get churning. I wanted to do something relatively simple to get me …

After getting my new ice cream maker I kind of felt a little off my groove. Before it died I had about a million ideas waiting in the wings, now I felt a little lost after those couple months had passed. I turned to one of my favourite blogs for inspiration. Browneyed Baker is one of my …
This is my first time making frozen yogurt, but most certainly not my first time eating it! I tried Pinkberry for the first time when I was on vacation in New York City. It changed the way I thought about frozen yogurt forever. I used to lump froyo in with muffins… You know how a …
I do believe this is the easiest recipe I’ve done on the Scoop to date. It’s so easy, there’s nothing to it! You can go the extra mile and squeeze your own orange juice, but I find that a good quality not-from-concentrate OJ will do just fine. That’s actually how I came to create this …
This Monday is a holiday here in BC, it’s called… wait for it… BC DAY! I thought to celebrate the province I live in I would use one of my favourite British Columbian ingredients: PEACHES. Taking a trip to interior BC in the summertime is not complete if you don’t stop at a road-side fruit …
