Goldilocks Scones
Happy Thursday everybody! What do you have planned today? On my to do list this morning: shoveling the driveway. Am I going to do it? Nah… I’m in denial over the snow we’ve been graciously given, so I think I’ll just ignore it and head to the gym instead. It’s great to hear that all…
Raw Cashew Lemon Drops + Cleansing
Spring has sprung! [says the girl with 6 inches of snow on her front lawn] The birds are chirping, the cows are mooing, and our bodies are saying “please, please cleanse me!” We’ve been hibernating in our houses, eating earthy vegetables, and surrounding our organs with extra TLC [it’s perfectly normal and expected to gain…
Coconut Muffin Tops
It’s time that I explain why I LOVE coconut and use it in so many of my recipes. I wasn’t always a coconut lover. In fact I thought it was bad for you! But while studying nutrition I quickly learned that if there’s one thing we could all benefit from eating, it’s coconut [and avocado,…
Coconut Curry Socca Crackers
I can’t believe a month has past since I started working with my running coach. Oh how time flies when you’re not having fun. I kid. Even though there are days where I feel like nothing has improved, deep down I know that I have made huge progress since starting this journey in August. haha…
Apple Pie Millet Breakfast Casserole
I love taking photos of my food but never, never like this. I couldn’t get enough of this breakfast dish that I ended up having for lunch + bedtime snack yesterday. Anyone care to share their tricks on how to get sticky goop off casserole dishes? It’s been soaking since 1pm yesterday. Caution: this recipe…
Carrot Raisin Nut Muffins
My day off yesterday was awesome! Sometimes we all just need a day to lay low and recharge. I didn’t get to take pictures of the cow’s but the farmer said they’d be back out tomorrow so I’ll try again then [they were too far away from the fence!]. One of the activities I was…
Baked Coconut Cream French Toast
You guys are quite the encouraging bunch! Thank you all for your supportive messages yesterday. Parsley said “remember, you are awesome!” It’s so important for all of us to remember this. Stefanie said “Setting small goals is so important to avoid setting yourself up for failure! I’ve been trying to increase my mileage (I seem…
Cinnamon Rice Pudding with Cherry LARABAR Sauce
I never in a million years thought I would ever be interested in marathon training. Yet here I am, 6 months after tearing my patella(s), accomplishing the long recovery, pushing myself to the max, all with this large end goal. As with learning anything new, there’s bound to be a couple of bumps along the…
Raw Blonde Nanaimo Bars
I can’t stop marveling at the weather change and how much sun I’ve been able to soak up since Sunday. I’ve even planned an outdoor long run for Saturday morning. I vote for no more snow until next winter, anyone with me? [It usually snows in May but I’m hopeful that this year will be…
Warm Cranberry Balsamic Pasta Salad
I got to catch up with Sona yesterday afternoon over a hot cup of tea at a Starbucks in Inglewood. The original plan was to hit up Wildernest Dream Cafe but they were closed. It’s been a year since I’ve heard of the place but have yet to visit. Eh, what’s another couple months? Sona…
