Creamy Lemon Squares
In this post, I’m going to pretend that there is no pandemic. This isn’t a pantry hack or a “what can you bake with 3 ingredients” quarantine edition. This is simply a fun, easy, summery dessert recipe. The long weekend being the official kick-off of summer inspired me to bake something bright, fresh and light.…

What I Eat and Drink in a Day
This may sound silly but as a visual person, my brain tends to associate a healthy meal with colour. If I see greens, reds, oranges or yellows on a plate, my mind defines it as nutritious. We’ve all heard that the more greens on a plate, the better. So I feel like that’s the main…
