Nothing says summer quite like Blueberry Pie. When I came back from the East Lynn Farmers Market with my trusty stroller loaded with 2 pounds of Ontario blueberries; I knew I had to bake. And bake I did. I love Canadian summer; the cold, frigid winter months make me that much more appreciative for the…… Continue reading Gluten Free Blueberry Pie
You know how there’s certain foods you just kinda (totally) ignore? Like, for no particular reason. No grudges; just no interest, either. Well, that was exactly the case with me and sweet potatoes/yams. I knew all too well about this potato variety, but aside from my aunt Rosy’s epic Thanksgiving and Christmas sweet potato, cinnamon…… Continue reading Southwest Sweet Potato Salsa Salad
Every single Thursday afternoon, I pack my trusty stroller, my beloved munchkins and head down to the East Lynn Farmers Market. It’s about a 20-25 minute stroll under the sometimes sweltering summer sun. I’ve got the tan lines to prove it, friends! Last Thursday I came across the most glorious fuzzy peaches. Eating seasonally has been…… Continue reading Peaches & Kefir Smoothie!
A deliciously moist, entirely grain & gluten free banana bread recipe with the wonderful addition of creamy peanut butter & chocolate chips! What’s not to like? P.S. The recipe is embarrassingly easy!

Both of which are possible, let me explain. I strip them of white sugar, white flour and butter or other forms of dairy. But- I…… Continue reading Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes

Total win-win on both ends. OK, I think I am totally overdoing the hyphens with this entry?! Sorry. I get a…… Continue reading Creamy Yogurt Overnight Oats
Creamy fruit paletas (popsicles) take me right back to my childhood. I pretty much had a paleta a day (because quite frankly, who needs an apple?) during those hot, long breaks when school was out for the summer they were absolutely mandatory. But make no mistake, I did not make my own paletas back then.…… Continue reading Raspberry, Coconut & Chocolate Paletas
I guess I could’ve simply called this blog something to do with avocado & that would’ve been a fair representation of my love/love relationship with this creamy green fruit and its abundant inclusion in my diet. It’s like my “daily bread”. And half the time I eat it over bread, so yep- that sounds a bit…… Continue reading Summery Avocado Toast
Strawberry season is officially here! One of my goals this year is to try and eat seasonally, wherever possible. Not easy, I know, but definitely worth giving it a shot. Eating seasonally simply means eating whatever is in season right now; I want to avoid buying frozen goods every time impatience hits. [Ahem, says the girl who…… Continue reading Strawberry Yogurt Muffins
