Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake

Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake

I try to supplement my chocolate cravings in creative ways that help me avoid succumbing to sitting on the floor of the pantry with my arms elbow deep in a family-sized chocolate chip bag. While sometimes I end up turning to the dark side, other times I surprise myself and come up with a creative…

Vegan Gluten-free Almond Peach Bread

Oh my gosh did we have a fun time last night at the Calgary Stampede. The weather was hot, the grounds were buzzing with activity… and may I just say George Canyon is one sexy man? Yeeha to that! The four of us got down to the grounds around 6pm. We walked around, ate fries…

Sweet Potato Cooler and Summer Lovin’ Salad

We just may have a warm, rain-free weekend upon us! Oh I hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that. My sister, Dad and I are headed to the Stampede to hit up the gluten-free eats on the midway and rock out to George Canyon at the Coca Cola Stage on Sunday night. There’s nothing…

Banana Bread Super Foods Smoothie

Banana Bread Super Foods Smoothie

Banana and I have been best buds throughout my life. I just couldn’t picture a world without them. They add sweetness to an otherwise boring porridge, lend their creamy texture to smoothies, and caramelize nicely in a pan with some coconut oil and maple syrup as a late night treat. Out of the 41 recipes…

Oil-free Carrot Cake Protein Bars

Kevin and I had such a great time camping this weekend. It’s exactly what we needed. There were many good eats to be had (including these high protein, gluten-free, homemade protein bars) naps, and long, long roads to venture down. We had planned to stay at the campsite until this morning, but decided to head…

Chickpea and Sweet Potato Burritos + Sweet Potato Hash

Preparing for a camping trip is always a big deal for us. I create lists, line up everything by the front door to avoid forgetting things, and still, we end up scrambling last minute. I swear I’m an organized person I just get distracted, and so does Kevin! The one, and most important, thing that…

Vegan Cinnamon Curry Quinoa Burgers with Gluten-free Burger “Buns”

It’s rare that I make a recipe more than once or twice. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the things I make, I just enjoy the thrill of experimenting with new recipes far more than relying on the tried and true. Call me risky. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed trying…

Ultra Green Smoothie

Ultra Green Smoothie

Our weekend filled with adventures and socializing was a nice break from spending my time alone in the kitchen. I love cooking, but sometimes a girl just needs a break! It wasn’t until Monday morning that I realized I had absolutely no meals prepared for the day ahead. I had to wing it and pack…

15 minute Maple Pepper Salmon Cakes

15 minute Maple Pepper Salmon Cakes

I have this thing for salmon. Craving? Mild obsession? I don’t know. Whatever it is, it’s strongest at work and will last all morning until I give in, ditch my lunch kit, and head to Joey’s Barlow to enjoy a $19.99 salmon fillet. I’m not the type to forgo an opportunity to enjoy a homemade…

Happy Tummy Breakfast Pudding

Have you ever experienced one of those weeks where nothing is moving as it should? Your digestion is slow, your tummy is cramped, and you swear you’ve never been this bloated ever. I know, it may be a bit embarrassing to admit or talk about, but everyone goes through it at one time or another…….
