Cranberry Mango Millet Salad
Have you ever fallen victim to a week that just wouldn’t end? Generally I’m against wishing the week away, but this week is an exception. In 3 days I’ll be lining up with thousands of other runners to participate in my very first half marathon. I just want the week to fly by so that…
Strawberry Cheesecake ‘Blizzard’ (No sugar added)
Before being introduced to banana soft serve I would have never thought to make ice cream out of frozen fruit. Sitting outside on a hot summers day soaking up the sunshine and cooling off with a cup of fudgy banana soft serve opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve never been the same…
Grain-free Coffee Cake Made With Love and Gratitude
I read Jennie’s story on Friday night while I sat relaxing on the couch with Kevin after a ridiculously long day. Halfway through, tears started trickling down my cheeks. Upon leaving a comment and looking over at Kevin with eyes of adoration, I closed my laptop and cuddled up to him. Instead of running around…
Gluten-free Sprouted Bread with a Spiced Pecan option
When I was getting tested for celiac disease my Naturopath recommended that I stick to sprouted breads to ease my way into eating gluten again. As an attempt to stay positive about the whole experience, I looked forward to trying out 100% sprouted bread – something I’d been recommending to many of my clients for…
Post Workout Creamsicles
Do you ever get a waft of a familiar smell and get sent right back to the moment you were introduced to that scent for the first time? If you haven’t, please don’t think I’m weird. I swear that there are people in the world whose memories are triggered by scent. And I just happen…
Impromptu Dinner Party
I wasn’t comfortable having people over for dinner before starting the blog. I always thought the meal would end up burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad tasting. But like they say, practice makes perfect. While I might not be perfect, I am definitely a lot more confident. Plus, it doesn’t hurt having a blog filled…
Oil free Protein Cookies
Our day of disconnecting was absolutely awesome. I managed to read through Tosca’s entire cookbook, placing post-it tabs on the recipes I want to make first – there are over 50 colorful tabs jutting out of the book now. I made endless batches of healthy doughnuts. They didn’t taste perfect and they didn’t look perfect…

It’s loaded with fiber, omega-3s, helps to reduce inflammation, balance your cardiovascular system AND will keep you looking younger longer with it’s high phytonutrient and antioxidant content. You…
Sweet and Savory Quinoa and Papaya Salad
Have you introduced any new foods into your life recently? Maybe you’ve given fennel a try? What about coconut flour? Or, maybe you gave kale a run for it’s money green(y)? [haha worst joke ever. I swear I’m actually funny in real life] While I was studying nutrition, I took it upon myself to buy…
Sleepy Basil Lime Mango Smoothies
Generally I wake up starving, but when it’s this hot all I want to do is lay under a fan, spraying myself with water every couple of seconds. … don’t judge… I have done this before and it’s absolutely refreshing. But there was none of that this morning, no, no. I peeled myself out of…
