Simply put; the smell of blueberry muffins in the oven has got to be one of the best smells ever enjoyed by humans. I could live on the smell alone. Not Really… But you get the idea! It’s blueberry season and there’s nothing better than finding fresh, seasonal produce to create new recipes. Blueberry pie,…… Continue reading Vegan Blueberry, Almond Butter & Oats Muffins
If you follow my Instagram feed… you may have noticed my food pictures are conspicuously “different”. It’s like am photographing in a brand new setting; because in fact, I am. The day before we flew out on holiday, some major pipes in our home burst and caused part of the ceiling on the first floor…… Continue reading A Refreshing Kiwi, Banana, & Coconut Water Smoothie
So we just stepped off the plane and are back from picturesque Cuba. It’s the largest island in the Caribbean Sea, and winds of change are finally blowing strong. Cuba has remained isolated from the rest of the world for over half a century; and the effects of this alienation are very palpable. Their cuisine, music,…… Continue reading Farmers Market Bounty: Ontario Cherries & Blue Curly Kale Smoothie
My husband is a die-hard cheesecake aficionado. That man scouts a slice of cheesecake at every possible chance he gets. When his birthday loomed around the corner, cheesecake was the logical choice. I started plotting a healthier version of the dessert, which unlike other raw varieties- did not contain cashew nuts in the filling, because he’s not a fan of “cashew cream”.

I would limit myself to half a Hass avocado a couple…… Continue reading Amazing Avocado Toast Ideas
If someone would’ve told me two summers ago that one day I’d top my homemade vegan smoothie with freshly sourced bee pollen for breakfast…. I would’ve exploded into violent, uncontrollable (scary-sounding) fits of laughter. The type of giggles that make your stomach hurt. Smoothies for breakfast? And wait- did you just say, bee pollen!? Um, you’ve got…… Continue reading A Berry Creamy Smoothie With a Side of Bee Pollen, Please!
I love chocolate probably a bit too much. I just added “chocoholic” to my Instagram bio for lack of a better word. If you come up with something better & stronger- am taking suggestions! Chocolate enthusiast doesn’t even begin to cut it. The best part about eating whole, unprocessed foods is that I can still continue to…… Continue reading Almond Butter, Oats & Raw Cacao: A Sip of Heaven
I have shared with you guys that my very busy household (composed of my husband + two toddlers + our very yappy pet dog) does not entirely partake in my gluten-free/dairy-free/sugar-free lifestyle. I made it a point when I started on this food journey that while I would incorporate a lot more whole, unprocessed, foods into their diet; I would not impose any…… Continue reading Beyond Blissful Bakes: Blueberry Buttermilk Spelt Muffins
There was once a girl who lived for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She thought it was the perfect marriage; creamy, salty peanut butter & sweet, sticky jelly. Not that I know who she is (or anything), whew! But she did like her sandwiches, a lot. Usually more than one at a time. And while peanut butter…… Continue reading Crush That Sweet Tooth: Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie
