Baby | Our Lake Country Orchard Photoshoot (34 weeks) with Danae Marie Photography

July 31, 2021

Danae took our fabulous pregnancy announcement photos back in June so things had changed a lot since then and we needed another photo session. Obviously I had a much more noticeable bump now! :)

And we are so in love with them! Once again Danae captured this precious milestone / life event for us beautifully.

The Easiest Gluten-Free, Vegan Apple Cake

November 7, 2020

Fortunately Autumn still feels like Autumn and our pantry is stocked with apples from orchards all around B.C. and since you can never have too many fruit-based desserts here another SUPER easy one—Apple Cake! Note: For the Americans following along, it would be an excellent addition to your Thanksgiving meal in the few weeks.

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Apple-Topped Goat Brie

October 25, 2018

We all know that cinnamon and apples were a match made in culinary heaven and that tart apples and creamy brie perfectly juxtapose each other, so it only stands to reason that all three would create a flavor explosion trifecta. Spoiler: It did!!!!

Puppy-Friendly Sweet Potato + Apple Cake

Fake It Till You Bake It with Hunter Premo: Classic Lattice-Top Apple Pie

November 20, 2017

I love to bake. And cook. And make. And eat. So when Hunter Premo asked me to assist her with a new series, which we’ve dubbed Fake It Till You Bake It, I jumped at the opportunity to help my newlywed future sister-in-law become more confident in the kitchen. Side note: I would have helped her anyway. :) Our first objective—A crowd-pleasing Thanksgiving dessert. Something impressive, but not overly complicated. The solution—a classic lattice-top apple pie.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts

Bake: Gluten-Free Caramel Apple Crisp

November 1, 2017

Anything more delicious than biting into something creamy, gooey and rich all at once? Not really! If that sounds like something you might be interested in than caramel is the flavor for you. And this recipe is the one for you.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple + Chicken Bake

October 20, 2017

These apples aren’t going to eat themselves! As you may have picked up on, I am much more confident in my baking skills than my cooking skills, especially since I prefer vegetables to meat. But occasionally I’ve got to show my man that I can make it happen, thus a fun new date night dinner recipe!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple Sharlotka Cake

July 30, 2017

I made this once for fun, but quickly realized how delicious it was and now it’s my go-to for an easy and insanely good sweet treat. Something a little different but with the comfort of apples, cinnamon, and sweet batter. But in a upside-down sort of way.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Morning Muffins

January 1, 2017

Breakfast food is my favorite genre of food; however, I love to sleep in late and therefore subject myself to sub-par breakfast options as I am running out the door. The solution: Making muffins ahead of time!

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.


Here’s what shakin’, bacon!
