Apple Cardamom Cake with Quince Frosting

No Bake Summer Fruits Cheesecake

August 11, 2013 by Elizabeth

One of the fondest memories I have of my childhood in Cape Breton, on the East coast of Canada, is that of berry picking. In the summertime there were so many varieties of wild berry to choose from.

June 21, 2013 by Elizabeth

Chocolate Cupcakes with Avocado Frosting (Vegan)

April 18, 2013 by Elizabeth
