Cinnamon White Chocolate Chunk Cookies | EmmaEats

White Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies

January 23, 2015 by EmmaEats

When I think about treats for Valentine’s Day, generally, I aim to have a sweet for the girls and something savoury for G. I thought this year would be no different. As you might have guessed from the photo, sweet wins. I’m a victim of my chocolate love. Now, while we all know that white chocolate isn’t exactly chocolate (there are no cocoa solids in white chocolate), there is still room for its cocoa buttery creaminess. White Chocolate-dipped strawberries? White chocolate lattes? White […]

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Crumble | EmmaEats

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Crumble, Vegan & Traditional

May 23, 2014 by EmmaEats

Chocolate. Cinnamon. Banana. Delicious. The girls have been really into muffins again lately. Whether picking a treat from the bakery, at an event that has desserts or just because, muffins are in high demand here. Both girls also adore banana bread. In our house, if chocolate, cinnamon and banana are included, inevitably, a popular recipe is born. Do you have similar ingredients in your kitchen? A much beloved treat, some muffins are considered a breakfast food. These are a little sweeter and lean more to the dessert […]

Fun Ways for the kids to say Happy Mother's Day | EmmaEats

5 Ways to wish Mom a Happy Mother’s Day – with a little help from the kids

May 6, 2014 by EmmaEats

The sweetest Mother’s Day gifts tend to be homemade. It’s soon to be Mother’s Day and there are suggestions everywhere about all the things that Mom could want.  Although it is always appreciated, many thoughtful gifts feel like they just add to the already insurmountable piles of stuff around the house. Then again, something personal, creative and handmade by her little darlings is a different story. Knowing the effort and love poured into something fashioned by the hands of children makes a lasting impression, even if the gift isn’t intended […]

Vegan MeyerLemon Blueberry Muffins | EmmaEats

Meyer Lemon Blueberry Muffins, 2 ways

May 6, 2014 by EmmaEats

Bring mum breakfast in bed with these fresh and healthy Vegan or Classic Meyer Lemon Blueberry Muffins. They are surprisingly light and fluffy even though they are made with whole wheat flour and are just delectable. Tips and Suggestions: Easily convert this to a conventional rather than vegan recipe. Substitute one large egg for the ground flaxseed and water, skim milk in place of the rice milk and butter in place of the coconut oil. No Meyer lemons? Substitute regular lemons. […]

Mile-High Meyer Lemon Meringue Tart | EmmaEats

Mile-High Meyer Lemon Meringue Tart

April 24, 2014 by EmmaEats

Celebratory. Impressive. Delicious. And easy. The first time we had this was for a family dinner. We needed a dessert, and I made this on a whim not knowing when I started that it would be the end product. When it came out of the oven, even G was impressed. (He’s not normally a dessert person.) It effortlessly came together to be breathtakingly beautiful (effortless until I had to figure out how to get it out of a cake pan without flattening the fluffy cloud-like meringue!). Instead […]

Hot Cross Buns, Vegan and Traditional | EmmaEats

Hot Cross Buns, 2 ways – Vegan and Traditional

April 2, 2014 by EmmaEats

You need to make these right away.   Hot Cross Buns. They are as much of an Easter tradition as the Easter bunny and painted eggs. Although I didn’t try them until well into adulthood, Emma was born a fan of hot cross buns. I had intentions of making them for years but my aversion to working with yeast (I’ve gotten past that now – see here, here and here) and the raisins (she loves them, I don’t) has always resulted instead with us picking […]

Sky High Spelt Breakfast Biscuits

February 27, 2014 by EmmaEats

Often with children in the house, someone can feel left out. It’s not always the same person feeling left out either. Mum is cooking or tidying while the kids are wrestling with Dad, big sister is busy doing homework while little brother is colouring or Dad is at work while Mum takes the kids on an outing. Do you sometimes feel like the one missing out on the fun? In our family, the girls certainly influence a lot of what […]

The Ultimate Granola Bar [Vegan, Gluten-free]

February 4, 2014 by EmmaEats

We love to snack. What’s it like in your household? Are you snackers or is there one among you? Katie certainly is. When she’s on the move, which is always, she’s happiest when she has something delectable within easy reach. Emma loves to feel prepared for anything and so, in addition to tissues, hand sanitizer, spare books, an extra pencil and eraser, she often has a snack (or two!) in her school bag to enjoy during recesses. All this snacking […]

Chocolate-dipped Classic Shortbread Hearts

January 30, 2014 by EmmaEats

More sweet treats for your sweets this Valentine’s Day. This year has been a veritable Valentine extravaganza at our house and we’re still weeks away from the actual day. We’ve got cards underway and have tested loads of treat options. Unlike years past, I didn’t want to be unprepared and uninspired as we got closer to Valentine’s Day. Emma and Katie are both very interested in celebrating whatever holiday is coming and so, it means we are baking, eating and […]

Chocolate Cinnamon Heart Cookies [Vegan]

January 28, 2014 by EmmaEats

Love, love, love. Hugs and kisses. Red and pink. Sweets and chocolates. There are a bunch of entities synonymous with modern Valentine’s Day. And, now these Chocolate Cinnamon Cookie Hearts equal Valentine’s Day for us. Chocolatey, with a warm hint of cinnamon spice, these vegan cookies are versatile. I have a few alternatives here so when we make them, there’s a version for everyone. There are ones dipped in deep dark chocolate (my personal favourite), ones filled with raspberry jam […]

Chocolate Cake Cookies [Vegan] | EmmaEats

Double Chocolate Cake Cookies [Vegan]

January 16, 2014 by EmmaEats

Chocolate. If Christmas and Winter are associated with mint, Valentine’s Day is definitely chocolate. And with Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about a chocolate treat for that little someone special. Although these cookies don’t look it, they are incredibly indulgent. Similar to quick cake mix cookies you may have seen elsewhere, these from-scratch cookies are simple to make and require only one bowl (make the flax mixture in a cup). These deep chocolate […]

EmmaEats’ Top Ten Recipes in 2013

December 31, 2013 by EmmaEats

2013 has been quite a year. As many have celebrated victories, grappled with political instability or coped with natural disasters, we have been fortunate to have had a relatively peaceful year. Looking back, I’ve had the good fortune to share experiences and traditions, as well as recipes we use as enjoyment, as comfort and as celebration. This year, you enjoyed both sweet and savoury tastes, both new and traditional foods. These were your favourite recipes this year – EmmaEats’ top […]

Chocolate and Olive Oil Truffle Cake [Dairy-Free] | EmmaEats

Chocolate Olive Oil Truffle Cake [Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free]

October 10, 2013 by EmmaEats

So it’s not paper, or silver. Not ruby nor gold. This post is an anniversary of sorts. It’s my 100th EmmaEats…and Katie too! post. Maybe we should have fireworks or champagne. No – let’s have cake.  And chocolate.  Mmmmm – chocolate cake. This particular cake was adapted from Molly Wizenberg’s Winning Hearts and Minds Cake over at Orangette.  Truth be told, Molly’s site and writing influenced me to start EmmaEats and to focus my culinary efforts here. And her cake […]

Spooky Halloween Cupcakes, 3 ways [Vegan]

September 26, 2013 by EmmaEats

Trick or treat! Halloween is a lively time at our house — one year, it warranted three costume changes on the big day. Even before we had a family, it was always a highly anticipated holiday. Hopefully, this year won’t be a triple-costume Halloween (there’s a habit I’d prefer to not encourage) but it doesn’t mean we won’t have some fun! These rich, dark, chocolatey vegan cupcakes and their “costumes” are quick and easy to make. This leads to a […]

Soft Breakfast Cookies, 2 ways [Vegan]

September 5, 2013 by EmmaEats

We haven’t the best track record for getting to school on time. For three years running. Summer was truly a wonderful time for our household. The girls and I leisurely wandered from outing to outing, meeting friends and casually making our way through our days. So easy. So relaxed. Here we are now, along with many of you, a week into back to school and adapting to a new routine. We’re doing well so far. What’s made the difference? First, […]

Vanilla Celebration Cake with Perfectly Pink Strawberry Swiss Meringue Frosting

August 22, 2013 by EmmaEats

Everyday should be a celebration. For us, August is a month of celebrations – from wedding anniversaries (3 of them) to birthdays (6 of them) to EmmaEats’ blogiversary. What have you been celebrating? Can we celebrate together? With so many occasions to mark, we’ll do so with a rich, elegant and splurge-worthy cake. This cake is reminiscent of a cake from my childhood combined with Emma’s dream cake. My childhood cake was layer upon layer of vanilla cake sandwiched between […]
