Dijon Herb Salmon Salad + Behind the Lens
I’ve been collecting ideas for recipes for as long as I can remember. Since elementary school, I’ve had recipes scribbled down in my math workbook, tucked away in my safe keeping box, scattered throughout the drawers of my desk on little pieces of scrap paper, and most recently, organized in my outlook folder. With the…
Raw + Vegan Nanaimo Bars
I woke up yesterday craving Nanaimo bars – a dessert usually reserved for Christmas. But with the hubby gone to London, a day of absolutely no plans, and a craving for chocolate, I decided to just go for it. As we’ve learned from similar experiences in the past, I love my chocolate treats on the…
Key Lime Pie Green Smoothie
Who doesn’t like pie, smoothies and graham crackers? Or, limes, frothy toppings and sweet breakfasts? Big mugs, green things, and meals packed with goodness? All of these things? Can be your next green smoothie. Because green smoothies don’t have to be a “pinch your nose to scarf it down” experience. They can taste like pie…
Crispy Oven Fries + Kitchen Gadget Giveaway
Congratulations, Anna, you’ve won! I’ll send you an email in a few minutes. Thanks everyone for entering :) I went through a phase about 4 years ago where all I ever wanted for supper was homemade potato or yam fries baked in coconut oil. Even writing about it has me salivating. Did you know that…
No bake Frosty Chocolate Banana Cream Cups
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
Chai Spice Doughnuts with Almond Frosting
I’ve turned into a chai monster. Cold almond milk, chocolate protein cakes, hot rice, pancakes, porridge, muffins, doughnuts… all perfect opportunities to liven things up with a bit of chai spice, wouldn’t you say? It doesn’t end there. Since returning from India, I’ve gotten in the habit of adding generous amounts of chaat masala, cumin,…

Congratulations, Megan for winning the $50 Amazon gift card! Your feedback has already been used to make changes on the blog and will help me in future updates, too. Thanks for participating! Adding lentils to trail mix was a little out there. Adding lentils to granola is even more so. Oh ya, I went there….
Gluten-free Cinnamon Buns 2.0
They say good things come in threes. Over the course of last 6 days, I’ve developed two different cinnamon bun recipes yielding over 65 individual cinnamon buns, a stuffed freezer, and a very, very happy cinnamon bun loving boyfriend. I think it’s safe to say that good things can come in twos as well and…
Gift for Mom: Pea-not Chocolate Truffles
Mother’s Day has always been special at our house. Wait, let me try that again… We’ve always tried to make Mother’s Day special, whether that’s been the case for the past 26 years is another story. This especially holds true for the 3 year period Christina; my sister, and I were teenagers together. Our hormones…
South Indian Rice with Lentils (Bisi Bele Bhath)
One-pot meals are the bee’s knees, wouldn’t you agree? The prep time is minimal, ingredients are simple, your kitchen doesn’t get all messy, and dinner is ready in under an hour. I like that. If that’s not enough, one-pot meals leave you with leftovers; and from the feedback you’ve left on the meal planning giveaway…
