I couldn't imagine starting the day without breakfast. From waffles to Dutch Baby Pancakes, making breakfast for my girls is one of the things that brings me the most joy in life. Which is why I'm so happy to be supporting Toonies For Tummies, an initiative made possible by The Grocery Foundation. @sobeys is helping this program, through donations made in store, raising funds for school-based student nutrition programs across Ontario and Western Canada.⁣
⁣
This initiative is dear to my heart for many reasons, but mostly because the thought of more than 1 million Canadian school children starting their day without breakfast is truly heartbreaking. That's 1 in 5 children going to school on an empty stomach every day. Now, how can we help? Well, as little as a toonie can help transform the life of a child in your community. Help Sobeys Inc. reach its goal of $700k by donating $2 in-store until February 26th. ⁣
⁣
It is by helping each other, especially children in need, that we can make our community a better place with fuller tummies. #ToonieChallenge #sponsored

✨ DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE ✨
Utterly creamy, with hints of vanilla bean and topped with a decadent caramel sauce. It's my go-to Cheesecake recipe ever since I tried it via my friend @yogaofcooking who by the way, is a baking queen.
Top it with berries and a few flakes of Maldon, or maybe caramelized bananas and pecans? Either way, you'll love it!

I believe that life is to be enjoyed every single day. Whether that is taking time to go through a new cookbook, going for a nice run, getting your hair done, or having an over-the-top avocado toast, it's the little things that fill our days with joy and excitement. ⁣
⁣
And talking about adding excitement to my day, I recently picked up a $10 INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER ticket for a chance to win $250,000 from @ontariolottery 🥂.

The idea of balance has resonated with me for as long as I can remember. It's what I strive for not only in life, but in the kitchen too.⁣
⁣
While at home we put wholesome vegetables first, my kind of balance will always and forever include something sweet. Whether it's baked at home, or bought at a bakery or a store.⁣
⁣
Which is why I'm so excited about @umobakery new Japanese-style cakes and donuts! What makes them so unique is that they're steam-baked and this gives them an incredibly light and fluffy crumb. So much so, that they got their name, Umo, by the Japanese name for feather. The donuts come in Cinnamon Sugar (my personal favourite!🙌🏽) and Chocolate. The cakes, in Original and Lemon. Both, absolutely delicious 🍩🍰⁣
⁣
Which ones would you try first? The donuts or cakes?⁣

Scones are the way to my heart 🥰 Soft, crumbly and chockful of berries, these are the ones I bake the most at home. ⁣
⁣
They're quick to make, and even quicker to disappear. And the best part? They take practically no time to put together. Whether you want to bake them for brunch, Valentine's day, or for a weekday treat, these Raspberry Lemon and Poppyseed scones will become your new breakfast favourite.⁣
