currently snacking on…
Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate (filled with) Speculoos Cookie Butter!!! From my last currently snacking on, you learned that I kind of LOVE Trader Joe's Cookie Butter. I saw that they had a chocolate bar filled with this stuff!!!! It is awesome. That gingerbread taste from the cookie butter mixed with the dark chocolate, yes please! I love this.

So, my Mama recently went to Target and Trader Joe's!!! And got some delicious things!! At Target... There was some Gingerbread TWIX!!! I don't really know what those taste like because we aren't allowed to eat them 'till Christmas. But I DID try these amazing White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's!!! They are SO good! They taste just like my favourite drink from Starbucks, a white peppermint hot chocolate. And from Trader's we got this Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl. This is a toast spread that is TJ's cookie butter blended with like a nutella!!! It's really really good!

Crispy Roasted Broccoli and Onions.
Yum! I love this! I have always loved roasted broccoli... And... In case you didn't know, I actually did not win the grand prize (an iPad mini...) in the Global BC Contest. But, the experience was amazing. Thank you to my awesome chef mentor, Chef Ned Bell from YEW Seafood + Bar in Vancouver. He really helped me through me journey in becoming Global's Junior Chef.

1/2 red onion cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt + Pepper
Combine all ingredients on a baking pan. Bake at 400F for 30 min. Enjoy as a side dish or on pizza or mixed into pasta...

Yum! Vegan Banana Cornbread
I recently had a box of Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix in my pantry (I loooooove cornbread!) and we were getting ready to go to a picnic at Centennial Beach and I wanted to make a little snack. I was out of eggs! I looked online for egg substitutes. I found a perfect one! Bananas. Yum. Off your measurements on your cornbread mix are different then you can change the measurements. I did 1/2 a banana per egg. If your mix calls for more eggs just use 1/2 banana per egg.
Vegan Banana Cornbread
1 box of your favourite cornbread mix
3/4 cup oil (if your mix calls for more oil, add more)
1/2 cup any vegan milk (soy, almond, hemp, rice, coconut, etc.) ( if your mix calls for more milk, add more) (if you don't need it vegan, use whatever milk is in your fridge)
1/2 a banana (read paragraph at the top of the entry)
Add your banana, milk, and oil to a blender or food processor, blend until smooth. Add to a medium mixing bowl. And add cornbread mix, 1 3rd at a time. Stir in between adding. Grease a mini muffin tin then add batter. Bake in a 350F oven for about 20 minutes. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. If you have any recipe ideas, leave a comment down below! I love reading comments!!
Bon Appetite!

welcome summer…
Finally!! Summer is here!! This is one of my favourite recipes of fruit salad, we have made it a lot in our family in the past summers.
Feel free to add 1 or 2 more of your favourite fruits to make it to your liking or your families liking (I personally think that cantoloupe would be really good because I love the sweet flavour).
Nectarine-Mint Fruit Salad
2-3 nectarines (depending on size)
3 tablespoons-1/4 cup chopped mint (depending on your liking)
20 strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 baby watermelon or 1/2 regular sized watermelon, diced
1 generous bunch grapes, removed from stem and halved
1 mango (kind of hard but not too hard that it is sour),skinned and diced
Mix all ingredents together, chill. Enjoy! (it's THAT easy!)
