Fact: summer isn’t complete sans Key Lime Pie. Tart & creamy lime goodness with a crunchy nut and date base that melts in your mouth & engulfs your senses. What’s not to like? I’ve eliminated sugar & gluten & give dairy-free & vegan options to this recipe. I made this dessert to celebrate being back home after a…… Continue reading Raw Key Lime Pie
Kind I say “obsessed”? This amazingly easy & nutritious breakfast is perfect for life on the fast lane. Mornings in our house are, well, hectic. There’s 2 children under 4 waiting for their breakfast, a yappy dog waiting to go outside and have some kibble & fresh water, & a husband heading off to work & breakfast on the…… Continue reading A Two-Minute Breakfast of Champions!
Today was a ponytail kind-of-day. A day so long that the lines as to where it began and ended are increasingly blurry. But am sitting down (for the first time today) enjoying a nice cup of fennel & peppermint tea and posting this entry before going to bed. After 7 grueling weeks of restorations & renos; we are finally back in our…… Continue reading Home, Sweet Home & Watermelon Pizza!
Parfaits and I go way back to my early days in Canada. It was a sinister love affair- as I sought them desperately hoping for a healthy alternative to college desserts & sugary pub breakfasts. But it was sinister exactly because I was consuming sugar & dairy nicely rebranded and served to me cold. There…… Continue reading The Perfect Pairing = The Perfect Parfait

I would look forward to coming home from work and tune into a long string of cooking shows, hers was my absolute favorite. It was the highlight of…… Continue reading Ode to Nigella: Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Am alive and well- (or so I like to think). I promise I have not thrown the written piece of my blog into long-standing oblivion. Writing is, and will always be, therapeutic for me. Sadly, today marks 5 weeks since the “grand deluge” (as I’ve come to refer to it) that drove us out of our…… Continue reading Berries, Vanilla Bean, & Oat Crumble Smoothie
It’s a lazy Sunday evening as I document my quest to develop smoothie recipes that are both; easy to follow & taste delicious. This particular one brings a new ingredient to my repertoire: Celery! My lazy Sunday introductory comment was not very accurate, actually. Not sure if I can quite have a lazy Sunday per…… Continue reading Kiwi, Celery, Apple, Pineapple & Mint Detox Powerhouse
As a child, Cookie Monster was my all-time favorite Sesame Street character. This may come as no surprise to those who’ve known me for years. Cookies are my love language and my passion for baking became known back in York University residence. I would hijack the common room kitchen and bake cakes, cookies, butter tarts & brownies- all with…… Continue reading Almond Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Tacos; one simple word that evokes so many mouth-watering variations! Tacos don’t necessarily have to equal junk/fast food, especially when prepared at home & stuffed with real, wholesome ingredients. It all starts with the shell: I ditched white flour & always opt for organic yellow or white corn tortillas. You can find them in the frozen section of most health…… Continue reading Easy Cajun Shrimp Tacos!
