Saturday Scenes: Family is Everything
Spending this last week and a half with my family has easily been the best Christmas present I’ve received this year. Heck, maybe even the best ever. Even better than the year Santa brought me a Dear Diary. Even better than my tamagotchi. Common, you had one too, right? The elves worked some magic that year,…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Turkey and Quinoa Balls
Christmas is just around the corner and my mind has been filled with appetizer ideas for the big day. Preparing the appetizer table has to be one of my favorite parts about entertaining. I like coming up with unique recipes that will entice people to try new things but be healthy enough for them to…
Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)
I have a weak spot for DIY chocolate bars. Given the popularity of the no bake homemade Twix bars I made for Halloween, I’d say that you all do too! The no bake version was made with a no bake cookie base, sunflower butter and medjool date caramel and allergen-free chocolate, but wasn’t safe for…
Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
I know what you’re thinking… ‘Brussels sprouts? Why would you waste a perfectly good post on Brussels sprouts?’ That’s a fair question. I don’t really like them either. That is unless they’re prepared using the recipe below or added to a grain-free veggie bowl like I did here. Maybe it’s all the roasted garlic, the…
Hot Apple Cider with Superfood Power!
I’m a Rocky Mountains girl through and through. The peaks draw me in with their magic, captivate me with their beauty and pull on my heart strings. I feel more at home in the shadow of a mountain than I do anywhere else in the world. When it came to decide where Mom, Dad, Christina…

While you can practice yoga in just about anything, wearing clothing that feels good; that bends and stretches with your body, keeps you cool and comfortable, just makes sense. What doesn’t make sense? Spending an arm and a…
Grain-free Christmas: Butter Tarts and Cinnamon Stars
< I love hearing Kevin talk about his childhood in Germany, especially the memories he has of Christmas. The traditions his family created during the holidays are so different from my own. The Christmas markets that one could visit for hours, visits from Christkind, children being kept from seeing the Christmas tree until the very…
No bake Vegan Cranberry Cheesecake Squares
We made vegan cream cheese and now we’re going to do something awesome with it. Are you ready? It’s one of my favorite dairy-free recipes to date! You’re going to start by making a walnut-based crust. It’s just four ingredients, none of which are dried fruit. As much as I love the no bake crusts…
How to Make Soy-free Vegan & Paleo Cream Cheese
A dairy-free cream cheese recipe that’s great on your ketogenic diet if you’re dairy-free and wanting the dairy feel. Serve with your favorite low-carb vegetables, boost your fat intake on your ketogenic diet, or smother overtop homemade ketogenic crackers. We’re making cream cheese! And, it’s fabulous if you’re doing keto without the dairy. Eating keto…
Jukebox Burgers, Montreal
Some may indulge in chocolates, candies or other sweet things but me? I’m a burger and fries gal. I don’t enjoy them often but when I do, I go all out. Kevin and I were on one of our weekend adventures recently when we heard an ad for Jukebox Burgers on the radio. I haven’t…
