Lemon Pound Cake with a Blood Orange Glaze

Not going to lie, recipe tasting this pound cake recipe was hard. Mentally hard. I had to wake up early in the morning so that by the time the pound cake was cooled and glazed, I immediately dropped it off at the office before I could think to take a slice for myself. It’s just that good!

Since I made this recipe close to Mother’s Day, my coworkers alluded to the fact that it’s the perfect Mother’s Day dessert! And, they are right - because what mother doesn’t love moist pound cake and citrus!? If anything, my mother first introduced me to pound cake - lemon pound cake in fact!

Winter Pear Salad with Citrus Dijon Vinaigrette

If you haven’t noticed, there is now a salad recipe for every season.

SPRING - Strawberry Fields Salad

Well, I saved the best for last because this one is mighty tasty! Made with seasonal produce like pears, brussels sprouts, pomegranates, kale, and citrus fruits, it’s like the essence of winter but in the healthy form!

Citrus Hibiscus Sangria

Having From the Roots just turned 1 yesterday and the website getting a face-lift, I wanted to celebrate with something, fun, fruity, and flavorful. What better way to celebrate than with a drink?

From the Roots has become way more than I have ever imagined. I started out just posting recipes I have created throughout the years and now it has turned into so much more. Within this year, we have been invited to do pop-up events, catered for parties and grand openings for businesses, collaborated with major health product companies, became a brand ambassador for Further Food, Banza, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods, and have connected with so many amazing people - YOU!

I couldn’t have done this without YOU, so thank you so much! Well, I could keep rambling, but let’s get to the recipe! I made this into a mock-tail form originally for a Galentine’s Day event. It was such a big hit! But TBH, it would be an even more hit if you added wine or prosecco to it…  But you can do whatever you like! ;)
