Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry
This time last year, I was putting together the final touches of my trip to India. I was just days away from boarding the plane to Mumbai and remember being so flippin’ scared that I was either going to die of fear en route, or get lost and never find my way home. But I…
Gluten-free & Vegan Meal Plans
Many of us want to nourish our bodies with healthy, home cooked meals that will make us feel good about ourselves, our bodies and our future. A bunch of you out there are also quite new to the vegan, gluten-free or grain-free eating style or are interested in learning more about it. And I just…
Soy-free Vegan Mayonnaise
It seems everyone these days has been personally affected by cancer in one way or another. When my Dad was diagnosed a couple of years ago, our whole world changed in the blink of an eye. It was rough on him, our family, and his love for bacon. Yes, you better believe his diet went…
Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls
300 calorie meal. Sounds tantalizing, doesn’t it? What if I told you that 1 serving of these cabbage rolls weren’t 300 calories, but 260? And I’m not talking about a tiny wee portion either. Ridiculous, right? Ah, I know!
Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)
When we first met, Kevin knew he was sensitive to lactose but ate it anyways because he didn’t think there were any other options and had no familiarity with dairy-free recipes. He had Parmesan on his pasta instead of nutritional yeast, shredded mozzarella on his pizza instead of vegan cheese, 1% cow’s milk in his…
Wash Your Fruits & Veggies + Bio-Vert Giveaway
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m terrible at remembering to wash my fruits and veggies before I eat them. I get so excited to prepare my meals that washing the produce just doesn’t cross my mind… but that’s no excuse. It should be important to me. Sounds like an opportunity for change, wouldn’t…
Oil-free Carob Swirl Brownies
These are New Year’s resolution approved brownies. They’re oil-free, chocolate free (for those of you who have given up caffeine in 2013), flourless, under 15 grams of sugar and only 200 calories each. Make a batch and enjoy the fudgy goodness of a traditional brownie without all the added stuff. You’ll stick to your goals,…
Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)
If the dessert crackers from last week didn’t entice you, I’m sure that these will. They’re crunchy, savory and taste a lot like Wheat Thins, believe it or not. Also, don’t let the flax-base scare you. They’re not your average flax cracker. In fact, they’re anything but. I remember the first time I made flax…
Coyotes Southwestern Grill, Banff
Of all the days I’ve spent skiing, partying, hiking and hanging out in Banff, I’ve never once seen or heard of Coyotes Southwestern Grill. It seems a shame that I only just discovered this little gem of a gluten-free friendly spot. There have been so many times that I’ve been in Banff, craving a good,…
Cranberry Sauce Muffins (vegan + grain-free)
Like you, I’m not a fan of the gummy muffin. You know the kind; especially if you’re gluten-free, egg-free or vegan. The uncooked center, hard exterior – it’s anything but a muffin. I want that pull apart gluten-filled consistency, the crisp, slightly crystallized sugar exterior and a fluffy inside… now that’s a muffin my friends.
