Good-for-You Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love bringing along homemade muffins with me on hotel vacations. They’re fantastic for snack or breakfast, can be filled with protein and healthy fats (which I always seem to lack when I travel), and even if they get squished during my trip, they still taste great. Generally I rely on a mini bar to…
Blueberry Fiber Muffins + Extreme Green Salad Dressing
Did you have a great weekend? Ours was so jam-packed with activities that I feel like I’ve been away from the office in ages. Always a good thing :) Kevin and I attended an afternoon showing of Batman on Friday. We were a bit disappointed in the movie, a view we’re 100% alone on when…
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…
Onion Veggie Dip with Homemade Onion Soup Mix
Oh my goodness, I’m just waking up now instead of the 3 hours ago that I intended. Kevin flew in from Montreal last night and his flight was delayed to 12:08am. As much as I love seeing him at the airport and being there to welcome him home, waking up halfway through the night to…
“Breaded” Chicken Strips with Apricot Dijon Dipping Sauce
Let’s just pretend for a moment that you’re not sensitive to gluten, that deep fried chicken is nutritious, and that KFC isn’t bad for your health. Close your eyes and try to remember the last time you feasted on KFC breaded chicken complete with it’s secret blend of spices and golden, crispy skin. Now open…
Crispy Oven Fries + Kitchen Gadget Giveaway
Congratulations, Anna, you’ve won! I’ll send you an email in a few minutes. Thanks everyone for entering :) I went through a phase about 4 years ago where all I ever wanted for supper was homemade potato or yam fries baked in coconut oil. Even writing about it has me salivating. Did you know that…
Fruit and Seed Snack Bread
Whether I’m embarking on a backpacking adventure through India, a road trip to the coast, or living out of a hotel in London, you can just about guarantee I’ve packed a lot of food with me. Gluten-free, dairy-free foods are sometimes challenging to find when I’m away from home. To lessen the stress of searching…
Beach Bum Lentil Trail Mix (nut-free)
My little sister, Christina, and I couldn’t be more different. When she went outside to rough house with the boys, I stayed home and played barbies. Her room was green, mine was hot pink. I wore dresses, she despised them. When my Mom would bring home treats from the grocery store; like a carrot cake,…
20 Healthy Gluten-free Power Snacks
Whether you’re training for a big race, hiking, biking, or taking the dogs for a long walk, an increase in activity requires us to choose the right foods to fuel our day. There’s nothing worse than going for a hike and realizing the sugary granola bars you packed are making you feel tired and lethargic….
Baked Oatmeal to Go
Breakfast has always been a challenge in our house. I love dried fruit, Kevin has an aversion to it, I enjoy a sweet breakfast, he’d rather no sugar at all. Needless to say, it’s rare that we can enjoy the same breakfast together. And that’s if Kevin even has the time to eat in the…
