The onset of chilly Fall weather calls for a bowl of warm, inviting soup. That said, I wasn’t always a soup person. I prefer to chew my food, thank you very much. That was until I started making all sorts of savory soups that are packed with vegetables, protein & incredible flavor! They totally feel like a…… Continue reading Crockpot Classic Tortilla Soup
This is the stuff that smoothie dreams are made of; ultimate nutrition that tastes like dessert. If you enjoyed my “Raw Blueberry Cheesecake” recipe (April archives) or look for it under “Desserts”- you will absolutely love this drink. It’s not overly dense, just the right amount of sweetness & tastes like well, raw cheesecake. I had…… Continue reading Raw Blueberry Cheesecake Cashew Smoothie
We all need a go-to chocolate cake recipe. Fact. That no-fail recipe we could prepare eyes-closed, with full-trust placed in the delicious outcome & using mostly pantry ingredients. Because truth be told; it doesn’t get any more pantry-friendly than this chocolate cake: eggs, sugar, grass-fed butter & good quality dark chocolate. That’s it. Really! I don’t know…… Continue reading 4-Ingredient Fluffy Flourless Chocolate Cake
Next to lattes, soup is the ultimate comfort food during the 6 months of really cold weather we endure in the great, white north. From October throughout March, I like to get my soup on. When I have a little bit more time on my hands (which seldom happens), I like to roast my vegetables…… Continue reading Curried Apples & Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
In recent days, I have come across several articles that give smoothies a bad rep & talk about them as being high in sugar & carbs. It even misleads readers into thinking smoothies (as a whole) will make you pile on the pounds rather than help you lose or maintain your current weight. The truth is;…… Continue reading Papaya: The Fruit of The Angels
At a glance, this bowl may look like the ultimate naughty treat. “Look away!”- may be a common thought or impulse- but fear not. I will deconstruct this bowl of dark chocolate goodness for you, and there’s nothing in it that’s innately “bad” or unhealthy- so to speak. Unlike most granola recipes which call for crunchy turbinado…… Continue reading Life-Changing Dark Chocolate & Pecan Granola
Sunday night rolls along & am drinking a warm cup of apple cider as I start up on this post. It’s almost as if am celebrating that I just wrapped up folding an astronomical pile of laundry. The weekend was packed with wonder-FULL-ness & lots of activities & tomorrow is another glorious Monday. The temperature dipped & it…… Continue reading Crispy Pecan & Almond Flour Crusted Chicken Strips with Honey Mustard Dip
Beets me why we never thought of drinking this luscious, deep violet-tinted health food earlier! From juices to smoothies to salads, beets are experiencing what can only be dubbed as a “food revival”. After all, they’re embedded with a particular natural sweetness & the nutritional benefits to be reaped are endless. Truth is, not very many people…… Continue reading An Energizing & Cleansing Blackberries, Beets & Banana Smoothie
I still can’t get over the fact September is here! Sweater weather means my blog fare is soon going to diversify into casseroles, soups, multiple versions of chili, pecan pie galore & stews. In the interim, a heat wave continues to move across Toronto over the long weekend & icy cold smoothies seem like a great idea! Green Smoothies used to be…… Continue reading Not your Average Green Smoothie! Mango, Cilantro & Bee Pollen Dreams…
