Healthy Pumpkin Bread with Maple Pecan Crumble

ByCeara October 9, 2014July 28, 2023

Things I learned since moving to Belgium: They do not sell canned pumpkin puree here. Chia seeds and a lot of other superrr foods are only sold in special shops. And everything in those special ships is wayyyy overpriced. I mean, who can afford 8 euros for a tiny bag of chia seeds that will last me less than…

Pecan Cashew Butter

ByCeara April 27, 2014July 28, 2023

I kinda have an obsession with nut butter. I love everything about it – it’s creaminess, nuttiness, and the way that it tastes devilishly good slathered on practically anything. One of my favourite all-time energy boosting snacks is a sweet banana dipped and slathered with silky smooth almond butter. Even though I love almond butter in…
