One (scorching) hot summer afternoon, I decided to cool down with this super refreshing fruity bowl of goodness.This was probably one of the hottest Toronto summers on record. It was also pretty dry, too. Like, we barely got any rain and everyone’s garden was on life support. So making nice cream regularly for me and the…… Continue reading Blueberry Banana Collagen Nice Cream
I like my weekend mornings cozy and a tad lazy. Not in the sense nothing gets accomplished, but in the sense nothing gets rushed. Often times, I’ll bake the night before so I can wake up to a freshly-baked loaf of fruity bread & my favorite monogram “A” mug filled to the brim with warm,…… Continue reading Paleo Raspberry Lemon Loaf
Nothing says summer quite like Blueberry Pie. When I came back from the East Lynn Farmers Market with my trusty stroller loaded with 2 pounds of Ontario blueberries; I knew I had to bake. And bake I did. I love Canadian summer; the cold, frigid winter months make me that much more appreciative for the…… Continue reading Gluten Free Blueberry Pie
I am a die-hard chocoholic. No shame in my game. No desire to hide it, either. I just reinvent my favorite chocolatey desserts to make them healthier, and more chocolatey. Both of which are possible, let me explain. I strip them of white sugar, white flour and butter or other forms of dairy. But- I…… Continue reading Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes
Creamy fruit paletas (popsicles) take me right back to my childhood. I pretty much had a paleta a day (because quite frankly, who needs an apple?) during those hot, long breaks when school was out for the summer they were absolutely mandatory. But make no mistake, I did not make my own paletas back then.…… Continue reading Raspberry, Coconut & Chocolate Paletas

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
Summer is (almost) here although we’ve been declaring it for the past month. I welcomed June with an Instagram post of pretty sunflowers spotted while on my morning run. I have resumed a mild form of running; it’s been 6 weeks post-surgery and my pants feel a bit tighter…. Running clears my mind and I…… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Squares
Life without peanut butter (or any nut butter, for that matter) would be incredibly dull + boring, don’t ya think? There once was a girl (not naming names) that was seriously addicted to a certain peanut butter recipe (that was conveniently written) on the back of a certain peanut butter jar. By the way, sorry…… Continue reading Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!
My relationship with chocolate has been one of the most significant liaisons in my life. And I am not even kidding! Chocolate was uplifting, comforting, familiar and always there for me. Let me start by saying I was never a huge chocolate aficionado per se, until I started hanging out with the little Bulgarian posse…… Continue reading Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies
