The year was 2002 and I had just turned 18. (If you can handle simple maths, I just about divulged my age). Yep, the clock turned 30 +1 somewhere.. I realize I’ve never felt more comfortable and happier with who I am than I do now. Part of it is because I feel healthy. I…… Continue reading It’s like a Mango Lassi- Except Better!
Salmon has quickly become one of my go-to, easy weeknight dinners. Total life saver. Fancy fare that’s so (SO) easy to make, it’s embarrassing! It’s incredibly versatile too; think salads, pasta, roast potatoes… you name it! The possibilities are endless. Not only does it deliver great protein, Omega 3’s & tastes great; but it’s literally ready…… Continue reading Tamari & Maple Glazed Baked Salmon
I often revisit an older recipe by making it time and time again and tweeking wherever I see opportunities for improvement. I was testing these delicious squares late last week and built this really impressive, carrot cake tower for the winning shot. I just about managed to get a top shot view and then a close…… Continue reading Carrot Cake Squares with Maple Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
These are little bites of heaven. I can’t get enough of them. Neither can anyone who’s tried them. Homemade chocolate is incredibly delicious and packed with all the goodness of raw cacao (think dairy free, refined sugar free). But let’s face it- just chocolate per se, is a little “boring”. I’ve tried a variety of things…… Continue reading Chocolate & Caramelized Pecan Cups

Think oats, almond flour, spelt flour, eggs, dark chocolate chips, coconut sugar, coconut oil, pure vanilla extract… But hey, it’s an incredibly easy recipe & it’s loaded with what I like to refer as “good for you” things. We…… Continue reading Gooey, Moist & Chewy Breakfast Chocolate Chip Cookies
Smoothie lovers rejoice, here’s another one for you! If like myself, you think kiwis are delicious, tart & just the right amount of sweet- you will love this drink. I do use creamy bananas to mellow out the tanginess a bit, as well as one of the best superfoods I’ve come across to up this…… Continue reading Creamy Kiwi, Banana & Chia Smoothie
During the colder months, I find myself reaching for one cup of coffee too many. It’s my little afternoon pick me up. But sometimes you just need to hit the reset button and reach for something more cleansing & just as energizing. The onset of fall/winter weather also signifies the beginning of “flu season”, AKA my…… Continue reading Apples, Beets, Carrots & Ginger Juice
I never thought the day would come when I would willingly pick a green drink over a cup of coffee because am feeling tired & in need of an energy boost. Well, I fuel up with smoothies these days. Not to say I don’t drink coffee, because I still do. I drink it out of sheer enjoyment, just…… Continue reading A Thick, Frothy Green “Milkshake”!
What’s your favorite thing about the Fall? Mine has got to be watching the leaves turn. I absolutely love seeing red/orange/auburn tree tops everywhere. And then from one day to the next, in an almost ephemeral fashion; it all turns fiery red or goes completely gold. Or both. I very vividly remember my first fall in…… Continue reading Fall in a Glass: Healthy & Delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
