Operation: Kill the Yeasty Beasties
A little over a month ago, I had just finished my allergy testing and was preparing for additional tests/shots with my Naturopath. In an attempt to begin ridding myself of low energy, control my blood sugar, decrease my fuzzy brain and get rid of my bad skin while I went through additional testing, I set…
5 minute Strawberry Quinoa Flake Bake
This week has been crazy busy with training, consults, a flood of new work at the office, and a bunch of appointments with my coach, doctor, and Chiropractor. A busy week means literally no extra time to spend in the kitchen making fancy lunches. I had just 15 minutes a night to dedicate to packing…
Hidden Gem “Butter” Cookies
I’ve been having crazy dreams lately, and no, not about food… although this next recipe did come to me in a daydream! I’ve been waking up with a peaceful mind, clear head, and focused intentions. What have I been dreaming about you ask? Yoga. I haven’t visited my mat since November, but after a couple…
Vegan Creamy Honey Dijon Salad + Omega Croutons
Since starting my cleanse I’ve become obsessed with salads. Thankfully, it’s a great obsession to have coming from a girl that really could use more veg in her life. Problem is I get bored with salad dressings very quickly so I’m always trying to switch things up to keep it exciting. Creamy honey dijon, creamy…
5 minute Apple Quinoa Flake Bake + Cocoalmond Mania Butter
I’m 10 days into my cleanse and things are going well! To recap, my goals were: Increase water from 3 liters to 4 liters/day. CHECK Lemon water in the morning. CHECK 1000ml Ginger water in the afternoon. CHECK – I added grapefruit to yesterday’s batch. Add parsley to my breakfast shakes. 1/2 CHECK – I…
Cleanse Breaking Coconut Rum Balls
Okay so… rum is not part of my cleanse plan. And I know we’re so far away from Christmas that even the mention of rum balls may be depressing for some of you [sorry]. But with 12 inches of snowfall on Saturday, my mind + body was totally seasonally confused. It all started when I’d…
Peach Pancake Cobbler
Kevin and I love our breakfasts. When we first started dating I would soak flax, oats, millet, and quinoa in a pot overnight and cook them up in the morning with some apple juice and maple syrup. A couple of months later we were addicted to cinnamon buns. Then, it shifted to porridge. Then, french…
Spiced Flax Balls
Hi guys! Technically I’m not “here” right now. I scheduled this post before I left just because well, I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing this recipe with you. At this very moment I’ve probably just woken up to the sound of Tibetan chimes and am preparing for a quick jog around the lake…
Chica Cherry Pistachio Energy Bars
Happy April Fools Day :) I will not get tricked today, I will not get tricked today… While I was running yesterday morning I realized that I have a little over a week until my first 10k race! This is so exciting! Yesterday I was able to complete the longest interval since my injury. I…
