ByCeara January 8, 2015July 28, 2023

Since I’ve been home in Toronto my whole routine has been shot out the window. And you know what? It’s kind of nice to have a nice change of pace and switch things up a bit!

Everyday I’m more and more excited that I’m heading home SO soon (15 more sleeps but who’s counting lol!). I’m sure anybody who lives far away can relate.

Hearty Vegetarian Bolognese

ByCeara November 6, 2014July 28, 2023

The other day I sat beside a cheerful, chatty 11 year old on the train who spoke four languages – four. We conversed in French on the train (his third language) and he couldn’t get over the fact that A) I just spoke two languages and that B) my family just speaks English. He seriously couldn’t get over how…

My love for all things sweet and chocolate is no secret. I never say no to dessert and always look forward to the last and *best* course. And that’s probably why most of the recipes of #CearasKitchen are sweet eats. I love dessert and am all for indulging in decadent and rich desserts once in…

Grain Free Double Chocolate Cookies {Chocolate Almond Meal Cookies}

ByCeara October 2, 2014July 28, 2023

There is something about baking that is so therapeutic.

“I can’t believe it’s not peanut butter”: Peanut Free Peanut Butter

ByCeara September 25, 2014July 28, 2023

Peanut Butter was sacred when we were kids. It was never allowed in the house. So the moment we would visit grandma’s we would politely ask for a warm, melty peanut butter sandwich for lunch – or quite frankly for any meal/snack of the day. It was only a plus if it was spread on a…

Tropical Green Smoothie, Travelling and Fresh Starts

ByCeara August 6, 2014July 28, 2023
