Do you have any annual birthday traditions? My kids have their birthdays about a month apart from each other. So, June and July is affectionately known as “birthday season” around our household. (My birthday happens to be early August, but I don’t include myself in these celebrations!) One of our annual traditions is that we […]
Banana & Coconut Bread
October 1, 2012 by
A friend of mine sent me the link to a Banana Cake Recipe which she said was so good that when she made it for a friend of hers, she ate the whole cake before the friend even had a chance to try it! That was a good enough reason for me to gather together […]
Polenta Biscotti
September 21, 2012 by
I’ve had a bag of Polenta staring at me from the pantry for a little while, so I decided to look up what interesting dishes I can cook with the ingredient. The first dish I cooked was Polenta Biscotti. This was my first attempt at making Biscotti of any description and I was incredibly happy […]
Popcorn and Peanut Butter Cupcakes
June 20, 2012 by
Warning!! These Popcorn and Peanut Butter Cupcakes are terribly addictive… they are salty and sweet, crunchy and gooey… and you WILL find it a challenge to stop at just one. (but don’t let that stop you from indulging in these heavenly treats…) I’ve made the ‘sauce’ for this recipe a number of time and have […]
Double Chocolate Mini Muffins
June 1, 2012 by
My Mom asked me if I’d like to make a sweet treat to contribute to her work’s Biggest Morning Tea Event, which raises funds for the Cancer Council. I always jump at the chance to bake, and when baking for a food cause – even better. I wanted to make something delicious that would be […]

Gluten Free Oat and Apple Cookies
May 10, 2012 by
Through the week, I like to make the kids healthy snacks to keep them going between meals. I find at mealtimes they eat mostly wheat based dishes (including bread, cereals and pasta) – so for their snacks, I like to feed them non-wheat based ingredients – to balance their day out. This includes using nuts […]
Mini Pineapple Doughnuts
May 6, 2012 by
I tend to ask my Husband for my kitchen wishlist items each Mothers Day and Birthday, to take the guesswork out of it for my him! (and lets face it – to actually get something I want and know I will use!) A Mini Doughnut Tin was at the top of my wishlist and I […]

I posted a Huge Thank you out to all the loyal fans, asking if they would like to see more of anything on the Yummy Inspirations blog. The response was to see more WHITE CHOCOLATE! These cookies […]
Zucchini and Banana Muffins
April 23, 2012 by
When making baked treats for the boys, I like to include a fruit or vegetable in the recipe. They way, their morning or afternoon snack adds just a little to their daily fruit and vegetable intake. These Zucchini and Banana Muffins contain both a fruit and a vegetable. They also happen to be moist and […]
