Roasted Garlic Soup
We’re on to day 3 of our two week cleanse. How’s everyone feeling? I know you may be trailing behind due to having to get groceries and prepare yourself mentally, but whatever day you’re on, even if you intend to start next week, we’re in it together. Over 100 of us have committed to this…
North Pole Green Juice
I remember the day my Mom came home with a juicer… it was a scary. Her eyes lit up with excitement, she said something about beets, spinach… kale. I remember thinking, ‘Dad hates beets, what person likes spinach, and what the heck is a kale?’ I liked my veggies with butter, dressings and spices, not…
Creamy Bacon Salad Dressing (with goat cheese)
Happy Saturday! I’m just about to head to an early morning yoga class but couldn’t go without sharing this delicious salad dressing recipe with you. It’s not the healthiest thing I’ve posted on the blog, but it sure is tasty… and fabulous with a plate full of veggies! Bacon is a nutrient all on it’s…
Vegan California Rolls with Edamame Pate
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
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
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…
Can’t Beet This Smoothie
October and November are the perfect months to detox our bodies in preparation for the long Winter ahead. There’s a 3 week cleanse program going on right now with whole food eats and while I haven’t been following it fully due to all the Halloween treats, I’ve been upping my fresh juice and smoothie intake…
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….
Sweet Potato and Fennel Curry
India has been on my brain for the past few weeks. It feels like ages since I got on that plane and headed to Mumbai earlier this year. The waterfalls, the beach, the ashram… I returned home with a strong sense of self, a free soul and a happy heart. Maybe this yearning has been…
