Berries ‘n Cream Parfaits + Homemade Coconut Yogurt
I don’t generally toot my own horn, but I have to say I was pretty proud of myself when I made this. Not because of the pretty parfait [although holy moly are these babies delicious], but because I made my own yogurt. Homemade yogurt. How cool is that? And… it was easy! I used to…
Willy Vanilly Protein Granola
Thank you for your supportive comments yesterday. Not only was the carrot cake loaf fun to photograph, but it’s also been great to have with me while I recover from this darn flu-bug! As some of you pointed out, satisfaction + happiness does strengthen our immunity! ———————————————————– One of the girls in the neighborhood I…
Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream “Cheese” Icing
This weekend was a lazy one. I’ve had a stuffy nose, fever, and headache for 2 solid days. As soon as I felt something coming on last Monday, I stocked up on camu camu and oil of oregano. It helped, but it wasn’t enough. On Saturday, I asked you on Facebook: What’s your strategy for…
Two-Bite Black Bean Fudge Cupcakes
Just my luck. Our good weather turned into a couple of inches of snow this morning + a bunch overnight last night. Bonus! Instead of spending yesterday afternoon working on our backyard, I changed into a big woolly sweater, made chocolaty cupcakes + worked on my knee strengthening physio exercises. FYI: these cupcakes would be…
Raw Tomato Basil Zucchini Pasta
It’s finally starting to feel like Spring around here. We’ve had a couple of Spring showers, and I even got to walk the dogs at 8pm last night with NO JACKET. Yay! Best part about Spring? Landscaping! We moved into our house just under a year ago and currently have a dirt mud pit for…
Maple Mystery Butter
I couldn’t stop saying…. M-m-m-m-m-m-maply goodness as I was slathering this nut butter on a handful of crackers last night. Be still my heart. No fats were harmed in the making of this nut butter Did you know? Roasting nuts at temperatures higher than 170F causes damage to their delicate fats? When the fat in…
Sweet Lemon Salad with Lemon Pepper Tempeh Croutons
I have a confession to make… I hate veggies. Wait, no… that’s a little too drastic. I just hate boring veggies. I’m not one to be seen snacking on a carrot unless it’s loaded with hummus. You’ll never have to worry about me stealing a slice of your cucumber. Wait, is that salt & pepper…
Tongue Twisted Buckwheat Berry Binge Bars
How was your Easter weekend? I’ll be quite honest with you, I’m not ready to go back to work today. I had 4 sweet days off and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more. Why does time fly when you’re having fun? It’s just not fair. Speaking of time off, only 4 more weeks until our vacation…
Emily’s Portabella Flatbread with Walnut “Cheese”
One of my favorite dairy-free recipes… are you ready? Yesterday turned out to be such an awesome day. I got everything done on my to do list + loads more! I wasn’t racing anywhere, I wasn’t panicking, and I even got to have a nap in my car in between appointments [if you know me,…
Bird Seed Granola
My dad is probably the last person in the world to be interested in eating healthy. He has always been madly in love with his Alberta beef, deep fried potatoes, meatloaf, perogies, kielbasa, licorice, [and his two daughters – but we’re good for his heart!] [me, my Dad, and little sister in ’90 having a…
