“I don’t like chocolate” – said no one, ever. It’s pretty apparent I am a die-hard chocoholic. And here goes a confession… I once used to eat some peanut butter chocolate cups that have an uncanny resemblance to the above image… Yep, I’d gladly eat a pack of three more often than not (I wince as I…… Continue reading Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cups
I guess I could’ve simply called this blog something to do with avocado & that would’ve been a fair representation of my love/love relationship with this creamy green fruit and its abundant inclusion in my diet. It’s like my “daily bread”. And half the time I eat it over bread, so yep- that sounds a bit…… Continue reading Summery Avocado Toast
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
There could very well be 2 cups of kale in your breakfast bowl and you wouldn’t even know it! Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, cold, nutrient-dense smoothie bowl with ALL the fruit & toppings under the sun? I was so thrilled to get some emails from you guys last week asking me about new smoothie bowl…… Continue reading Green Glow Smoothie Bowl
I am a child of the 90’s. Totally. I was obsessed with the Spice Girls, the Macarena, Seinfeld, Friends & Strawberry Nutri-Grain bars (in no particular order). Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts came in at a close second and will therefore get an honorable mention. Just how did big brand America ever convince our parents to give…… Continue reading Strawberry Almond Butter Oat Squares
Traditional spaghetti was a primary staple in my university diet. At least a once-a-week meal that we would eat, reheat and eat over the course of two days. Not very exciting to say the least; but hearty and affordable. During my 4th and final year of undergrad school, I moved into a brand new residence that…… Continue reading Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!
I was casually asked at a dinner party just last Friday what my blog is all about. It’s questions like those that make you step back and try to fill in the gaps with inside knowledge but outside perspective. I concluded that it’s the story of a life, told through food. I share recipes and…… Continue reading Buckwheat Tabbouleh
Mexican take-out meets healthy deconstructed taco bowl. Except there’s no rice. I’ll do you better, it’s got protein rich quinoa which like rice; is also naturally gluten free. And it’s highly addictive kind-of-GOOD. Sans meat or with it; it’s totally customizable to your preferences. I enjoy this sans meat simply because the quinoa and black…… Continue reading Mexican Quinoa Casserole
I am an ice cream girl. All the way. Giving up dairy two years ago meant switching to coconut ice cream, and believe it or not- I thoroughly enjoy it. Partly because it’s creamy and still has that density that we’ve come to expect from ice cream. It’s also healthier than ice cream because guess what:…… Continue reading I Scream for Nice Cream!
