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, Dairy-Free Strawberry Cream Pie

July 27, 2020

This no-bake treat is super easy—a creamy combo of sweet vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries (or fruit of choice) with the scattered crunch. Essentially all the best textures in a chilled layered dessert. It’s definitely one to bring to a backyard party or family get together. It’s not so much a “pie” as a layered dessert, but that’s what we have been calling it so there you go

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

August 1, 2019

Hot Summer days call for a chilled, creamy childhood favorite! I love how simple ice cream cookie sandwiches are to make. You do have to have some patience to allow the ice cream to set back once it’s sandwiched in the cookies, but the cookies are simple as you just adjust a simple boxed cake mix. Less time baking and more time munching!

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!
