Wow, what a great weekend I just had, my gosh. Did you have a good weekend? I know, it’s already Tuesday but I feel like it’s Monday so bear with me. It all began on Friday morning when I boarded the train at Montreal Central Station headed for Kitchener, Ontario. It was a long trek,…

Dairy-free Skor Bar Cups

Dairy-free Skor Bar Cups

It didn’t feel right ending Health-oween without paying tribute to the Skor bar. Just like the vegan Twix bar we enjoyed last week, I wanted to make a Skor treat that I could feel better about eating. Heck, I just wanted to be able to taste a Skor bar again. And taste I did… again,…

Devilish Eggs

Devilish Eggs

No healthy Halloween recipe collection would be complete without an appetizer, right? It was a toss up between bat wings, octopus, and witch fingers. In the end, the idea of making evil deviled eggs won me over. I think I put the mustaches on the wrong way though. They should be pointed down not up and…

No Bake Vegan Twix Bars

No Bake Vegan Twix Bars

I gotta say, I was a sight for sore eyes yesterday. I had chocolate behind my ears, my house smelled like bacon, there was grease all down my shirt and I was hobbling around with a slipper missing off my left foot. It wasn’t pretty. But it was all in the name of the Twix…

Stuffed Jack-o’-Lanterns

Stuffed Jack-o’-Lanterns

I remember getting absolutely frantic the day of Halloween. Scratch that… I was frantic the days leading up to EVERY holiday. Besides making my costumes, I would consistently devise a Halloween treat plan that would help our crew (usually my best friend, my sister and her best friend) tackle each street with precision. No house…

Pumpkin Orange Cream Smoothie

Yoga challenge. Are you doing it with us? Can I be honest? It’s hard. Not that I want that to deter you… but this is harder than I thought it was going to be. My body hurts, my heart can’t take it at times, and I’m sick of washing my yoga gear every gosh-darn day….

Witches Brew Breakfast Pudding

Witches Brew Breakfast Pudding

I had a history of choosing the same Halloween costume year after year when I was a kid. Did you, too? I was a princess, then a queen, Cinderella… well, you get the idea. Royalty was kind of my thing. My sister on the other hand liked to be scary characters a witch, goblin, ghost,…
