Eggnog Smoothie with 1 Minute Vanilla Whip
Oh my nog. It doesn’t get better than this. Creamy deliciousness topped with a high protein sweet whip… zomg take me away. I did two things with my leftover homemade eggnog – pancakes and a smoothie. And when all was said and done, I wish I had just made two smoothies and been done with…
Maple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes with Glazed Apples
Kevin and I love Christmas. Each year around this time, we begin our gingerbread house building plans, decorate the tree, and we even go as far as planning exactly what we’ll make together for breakfast on Christmas morning. When you read together, instead read – Kevin playing with the dogs while I make breakfast. Team…
Gingerbread Brownies
I’ve been dying to share this recipe with you for days and days and years! I exaggerate. It’s only been two days. I’m quite good at exaggerating though. My excuse? I’m a Taurus which naturally limits my ability to state the facts correctly. That, and my Mom was a pro at it too. It was…
Putting Leftover Grains To Work: 3 Minute Breakfast Bowl
I don’t know about you, but come the end of the week I have a bunch of leftover grains sitting in the fridge from a weeks worth of sushi and rice bowls. Grains stay good in the fridge for 3 days but the thought of throwing them out kills me every time. Until recently, I’d…
Millet and Amaranth Porridge
Since getting back from the ashram late Tuesday night, all I’ve wanted to eat is millet. Millet, millet and more millet! You see, each morning after our yoga asana classes, we would head to the Mandala House for a bowl of hot millet porridge and fresh fruit from the garden. The toppings were vast, the…

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…
Snickerdoodle Quinoa Flake Bake
I asked my followers on Facebook a couple of weeks ago what quinoa flake bake flavor I should come up with next. Although there was a strong following for carrot cake at first, snickerdoodle ended up sliding into first base. A couple of tries later and I successfully landed on a cake that was perfectly…
Steph’s Online Bake Sale
As many of you know, my Dad battled with Leukemia in 2009. According to Wikipedia, Leukemia (from the Greek leukos – white, and haima – blood) is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells. Leukemia is a broad term covering a spectrum of…
Cinnibun Oat Streusel Muffins
I had no idea how much garbage was in the food I ate before I began studying nutrition. From the preservatives, unnecessary sugars, carcinogens, dyes, flavors and chemicals, it didn’t phase me. But, a couple of weeks into my training something clicked… The food I’m eating is slowly killing me. One of the foods that…
