Chocolate Layer Cake with Peanut Butter Glaze

The perfect combination of chocolate cake and peanut butter glaze. Don't forget the peanut butter cups on top!

For some reason, I thought this year would be easy.

This year I would be solely focused on teaching. No tutoring on the weekends, and spares during my school day to prep at school. But we all know how it goes. Lessons to write, class websites to set up, tests to create and then mark.. the work never ends.

Especially since if you do finish a week's worth of lesson planning.. well, there is always next weeks that can be planned out.

Healthy Potato Soup

Hearty potato soup that is very easy to make. Made without butter or cream to make it healthier than your regular potato soup recipe.

Does it feel like September yet? With the increased humidity and the grey, rainy days, I am craving more soup than I have in a looooong time.

And by taking a look into my pantry, I knew right away that the first soup of the pre-fall season will be potato soup!

Ginger Pear Baked Oatmeal

Even oatmeal haters will love a good baked oatmeal. Made with pears and ginger, this is perfect for fall.

Okay, before you say anything, I know.. I know a lot of you out there are oatmeal haters, but TRUST ME. you will be oatmeal haters no more once you have tried baked oatmeal!

And all of the various varieties of baked oatmeal I have made over the past few years. Like my caramelized banana, apple and original, just to name a few.

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Bread

Taste the flavors of fall! Pumpkin and apple come together in this deliciously moist streusel bread

Pumpkin season is here folks!

Okay, technically it is not fall, but the abundance of pumpkin spiced drinks in coffee shops I think it's safe to start cooking up some pumpkin treats in my own kitchen, don't you think?

Pumpkin spice and everything fall! This is my favourite season for its flavors, and I intend to make the most of it.

Nutella Drop Cookies

Shortbread meets Nutella in this deliciously soft and crumbly cookie.

Hi, favourite dish!!!

Have you two been acquainted? I present to you a healthy (-er) version of your favourite Chinese dish.

I have been looking for something healthier to make at home after coming back from vacation. Is it just me, or is it that every time I go somewhere new I only eat junk?

Chocolate Stuffed Muffins

Not so sweet muffins with a delicious chocolatey filling. Super easy to make as a back to school snack.

School is next week!! Is everyone excited??

I just started my new job at my new school today and I couldn't be more excited. But with the days getting busier, and my to-do list getting longer and longer by the hour, it is hard to find time to make healthy snacks for the school year. My hand will start to wander towards the salt and vinegar chips.

Good thing Secret Recipe Club is having an extra reveal day completely dedicated to back to school dinners and snacks.
