Another morning, another green smoothie. But wait- it doesn’t taste any similar to all the other green drinks I’ve shared with you. I have come across an ingenious little hack to improve the taste of a green smoothie. I often get people asking me things like “Will I be able to taste the spinach?”. And I completely get…… Continue reading Redefining Greens: Honey, Mint, Avocado & Spinach Smoothie!
I love a good peach pie/peach cobbler/peach crisp/peach crumble. All slightly different names describing delicious variations you can concoct with tree-ripened peaches during the summertime. And let’s get technical here; isn’t a “crumble” the exact same thing as a “crisp”? I believe the wording varies depending on which side of the pond (hmm, the Atlantic) you reside. Either…… Continue reading Apple Crisp Can Wait for the Fall, Summer is for Peaches!
This is my second brownie recipe in just as many weeks. Pssst… I like chocolate, sorry. Not sorry. I think chocolate is a beautiful thing; especially when stripped down from dairy & sugar. You can seldom go wrong with brownies, and these are quite literally my 10 minute brownies. They take 10 minutes to prepare (25-30…… Continue reading Double Chocolate Espresso Brownies: Dark Chocolate With a Kick!
There’s something about the simplicity and phenomenal taste of this smoothie that’s led me to have it on repeat for the past week. It’s a glass of creamy goodnesss; packed with blackberries, coconut yogurt, raw honey & chia seeds. Just that- yes, quite literally 4 ingredients. I’ve become completely immersed in the world of smoothie-making and I’m a…… Continue reading Easy Does It: Blackberries, Honey, Chia & Coconut Yogurt
It should be common knowledge that on occasion, I like to make up words. I hope you find it as endearing as my friends do. And sometimes, friends make up words for my food, as is the case with this dish. A really close friend dubbed it “Quinotto” and I just loved the term she coined. Deliciously fluffy, warm…… Continue reading Quinotto: Quinoa Mushroom Risotto
Dates are nature’s sugar. They are a wonderful natural alternative to both; artificial sweeteners and refined white sugars. I wish I would’ve jumped on this “eat dates, not sugar” bandwagon earlier; much, much earlier. After all, my father is Middle Eastern & I am no stranger to dates, figs, and apricots. All those calories I earned on sugar! Well, I…… Continue reading It’s a Date: Banana, Cinnamon & Coconut Milk Smoothie
These brownies will melt in your mouth and so will all of your surroundings. They have become quite a hit at our home, and are gone in 60 seconds. That’s no figure of speech. I first tried fudge at one of my closest friend’s wedding at Niagara On The Lake about 7 years ago. I thought I…… Continue reading Incredibly Moist Maple Almond Fudge Browniesl
If I had to pick a Jungian “breakfast archetype”, a universal staple that is later individualized based on each person’s unique culture- that would most definitely be oatmeal. I often wonder how many bowls of oatmeal are consumed across the globe every morning; yet none of them probably tastes the same. Call it porridge or Scottish Oats- or Avena (where…… Continue reading Fruit Topped Creamy Oatmeal: Breakfast Comfort Food
Kale is the new black. It’s packed with vitamins A, C & K. It’s rich in potassium & essential irons. It’s low in calories, but high in protein. Let’s be honest- spinach can’t compete with kale. I once read that a cup of kale has over 1000 times more vitamin C than a cup of spinach. So there…… Continue reading Le Smoothie Vert
