Happy Friday! It’s been quite the week. Tuesday marked my last official day at work. I packed up the things in my office, said my goodbyes, walked out the door for the very last time, and cried all the way home. Change is hard, saying goodbye to people is challenging, starting something new is a…
I couldn’t be more thrilled to be sharing with you a new project I’ve been working on for the past month. It’s called Inspirations with Leanne, where I’ll be sharing a new goat dairy recipe on the Happy Days Dairies website every week. The recipes will be made with as little allergen ingredients as possible,…
Oh do I have a treat for you today! It’s not a fresh batch of gluten-free doughnuts, vegan cake, or a fun green smoothie, it’s tuna… vegan style. Before you go thinking that this recipe may be a bit too granola for you, I urge you to check out the ingredients list. Everything is easy…
This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad, Green Goddessphere at Sea, and Spinach Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette I never was big into kale.

Kevin and I had quite the jam-packed day yesterday. We headed to fabric land, the local antique store, home depot, and the mall. All in the name of finding some new things for my food photos. I think the antique store was my favorite, it was like an interactive museum! We got home, took the…
Okay so I may have gone a little overboard on the Okanagan fruit and vegetable shopping on my way back from BC last week. I couldn’t help myself. I had a rented car with loads of extra space and the fruit and veggie stands were calling my name. For those of you who aren’t familiar,…
Happy Friday 13th! Good things always happen to me on Friday 13th, so I’m pretty excited to see what flourishes today! ————————————– There are a couple of requirements that a salad needs to have in order for me to want to eat it: a good [homemade] salad dressing. lots of spices and flavor. a vast…
Kevin had to work late last night, so the girls and I got to enjoy another ladies night. I came home to a clean house [couldn’t be happier that I busted my buns cleaning the house over the weekend], went for a snow-in-shoe-and-socks walk in the park, and made a Summery dinner to remind myself…
