These overnight oats are my new FAVE for one simple reason: what’s better than chocolate (in the form of cacao powder) and mocha thanks to 1/2 shot of warm espresso?! Plus I’ll be needing that tiny bit of caffeine! It’s probably one of the best combos, ever. Top them with all-natural peanut butter, a handful of raw walnuts, fresh banana slices and you’re set!
Well, hello there! How is everyone doing? I had quite the week. Like, quite. Flu season got the best of us, ALL of us that is. I’ve technically been calling myself a “mombie” after a sweet meme a blogger friend of mine sent me. Mombie = mom zombie. I am completely sleep-deprived but fuelled by…… Continue reading Persimmon & Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Is it a bit too early for pumpkin talk? Because am back from our holiday (AKA: my sister’s wedding was no holiday) and I can’t wait to embrace Fall & start making/crafting ALL things pumpkin. Am dreaming about pumpkin donuts, muffins, raw cheesecake, smoothies & granola. How does that sound? So yep, we’re starting the pumpkin party…… Continue reading Healthy Pumpkin Granola
Strawberry season is officially here! One of my goals this year is to try and eat seasonally, wherever possible. Not easy, I know, but definitely worth giving it a shot. Eating seasonally simply means eating whatever is in season right now; I want to avoid buying frozen goods every time impatience hits. [Ahem, says the girl who…… Continue reading Strawberry Yogurt Muffins
In a perfect world, we would all wake up to a freshly-brewed cup of coffee & an enticing breakfast that’s “calling our name”. That surely doesn’t happen (to me, at least)… But I need to make breakfast happen for the 6 beings that run my heart: my 2 and 4 year-old kids, my husband, a dog,…… Continue reading Creamy Raspberry Overnight Oats
If you love crêpes, I strongly encourage you to put off the urge to do other (clearly not as important) things & keep on reading… If you don’t like thin pancakes & happen to stubbornly prefer fluffy & moist, “buttermilk-style” pancakes; am sad to inform you this recipe may not be for you. But if the first…… Continue reading Sundays Call For Thin & Crispy French-Style Pancakes!
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
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
