And I’m back! It was a short, but much-cherished mini vacation with my favorite people. I have decided to do a detailed post on it next week, and share some pictures with you all. Something I seldom do; but am taking into account your feedback of seeing a little bit more of me, my family…… Continue reading Spring is for Salads!
Raw Vegan Oreos Aleyda March 11, 2016 Cookies make people happy. And happy people are fun to be around with. That’s my central premise for continuing to make desserts that are mostly gluten-free, refined sugar-free & dairy-free. These heavenly, chewy, cacao-filled cookies are 100% raw, sweetened with dates & don’t require any baking. 30 min…… Continue reading Amazing Raw Oreo Cookies!
I am an ice cream girl. All the way. Giving up dairy two years ago meant switching to coconut ice cream, and believe it or not- I thoroughly enjoy it. Partly because it’s creamy and still has that density that we’ve come to expect from ice cream. It’s also healthier than ice cream because guess what:…… Continue reading I Scream for Nice Cream!
Can I say protein? This unassuming soup delivers a heavy protein punch that will leave you feeling content, satisfied & definitely- not hungry. I would never in a million years have considered a mere bowl of soup “a full meal”. But this one totally is. While I was never a “soup person,” soup didn’t bother…… Continue reading Curried Cauliflower, Potato & Chickpea Soup
What’s the weekend without a good slice of dense, rich chocolate cake? I like to call this particular recipe “Chocolate Cake 2.0” because it’s THAT good. That subtle hint of citrus stemming from the blood oranges that get pureed into the batter (pulp, skin & everything) after being boiled for 2 hours, is incredibly good- yet…… Continue reading Gluten Free Chocolate Blood Orange Cake
I started typing this blog entry surrounded by the strong smell of freshly brewed coffee, the friendly buzz of people, & a few, rare minutes of “freedom” as one of my best friends entertains my youngest child, Grace. So very thankful to the friends who make this blog possible; because through their help, they enable…… Continue reading Gluten Free Raspberry Clafoutis
I still crave Chinese takeout. There, I said it. I promised you this blog would be a brutally honest account of a person’s journey into eating and feeling well. But the Chinese food craving continues to hold true; at least for the most part. I am often strolling around Toronto’s busy streets; home to some world-class,…… Continue reading Brown Fried Rice Bowl with Veggies & Peanut Satay Sauce
Life without Fajitas would be quite dull. Wouldn’t you agree? Contrary to what some of you may think… although I grew up in a Spanish-speaking country; there wasn’t any Mexican food conveniently available at my house. Like, none at all. I wistfully wish there had been! Middle Eastern & Nicaraguan food were the predominant cuisines in our…… Continue reading Barbacoa Beef Fajitas!
There is something to be said about crispy, warm, restaurant-style tortilla chips. That delectable crunch & freshness that could never be paralleled or replicated by something (anything) that came out of a bag, really. The truth is; homemade chips are at a different level in the foodie stratosphere. I dig them. I crave them. I…… Continue reading Homemade Tortilla Chips!
