Can you believe that originally I wanted this to be a brightly purple-coloured, low carb slaw recipe? Well it’s true, though that plan hit a bit of a snafu when I couldn’t find any at the local grocer (unless it was moldy, ew). The green cabbage coleslaw you see above was therefore my backup creation, but you’d be mistaken for thinking of …

Sure, we’ve had plennnnty of sweet potato fries in this house (add Cajun seasoning and it’s been my go-to studying snack for years) but I had never really perfected the crunchy-on-the-outside and soft-on-the-inside result I wanted. Normal potato fries are a cinch, I just toss cut potatoes …

Who doesn’t love chocolately, gooey, fudgey brownies? Over my thirty-three years, I’ve never met a brownie yet that I didn’t want to eat and lately I’ve had an overwhelming desire to bake and devour some mint-choc ones. That plan would have gone a lot easier if not for my recent Homemade Mint Extract experiment that didn’t quite work as expected, but I …
