Fruit Crumbles
Nothing pleased me more than to find Enjoy Life granola about 6 months into my gluten free diet. “The things I could do with this!” I thought on the first day it caught my eye. Enjoy Life products are gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, soy free, egg free and casein-free. They’ve really tried to eliminate…
My First Turkey…And Gravy
Any time a member of our family cooked a turkey; or bird as we like to call it, it was always draped in a paper bag drenched in butter. The same story would be shared time and time again “When we were kids our grandma, your great-grandmother, would use a paper bag around her bird…
Cranberry Sauce
In preparation for the holidays, many of us decide to pick up a can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce to save on time in the kitchen. Believe me the thought crossed my mind, it was a fleeting thought though because: that cranberry sauce is absolutely nutritionally void. Evidence: Ingredients: Cranberries, glucose-fructose, glucose, water. Nutritional content…
Carrot Bites
Boy does December get ridiculous! In the last 48 hours I’ve been to 3 Christmas parties at colleagues’ houses, 1 nutrition seminar about seasonal eating, and 1 CAHN-Pro Christmas potluck.

Last week I wrote about my almond flour experience and how happy I was to have found a gluten free flour that…
Cacao Macaroons
On Tuesday night I treated myself to a raw chocolate making class at the Light Cellar in Bowness, Calgary. When signing up for the class I was told I’d be eating loads of chocolate and if you know me you know I love my chocolate, so getting excited for this course was an easy task….
Pumpkin French Toast
I have been preparing for this recipe for a very long time. The inspiration for this breakfast delight came from a Vegan Baked Pumpkin French Toast recipe I found on one of the blogs I follow but for the life of me, I cannot find which blog it was so I apologize for not properly…
Chocolate Hemp Pudding
Thank you Tara for sharing this recipe! I can vouch at how well this turns out. It has a perfect balance of chocolate that satisfies cravings and is a great “dessert” for the morning. This comes out with a texture somewhere between a pudding and a mousse, but it does a good job of satisfying…
