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…
Communitea Cafe, Canmore
Nestled in the beautiful city of Canmore, with a healthy dose of gluten-free menu items, Communitea Cafe has been on our list of places to visit for a long time now. The cafe is in a great location, just around the corner from the main road that runs through downtown Canmore, and a couple of…
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…
Traveling Through India: Varkala Cliff
For more on my backpacking trip through India, check out Mumbai experience, Kallikadu, Sivananda ashram introduction, India, the basics, Sivananda ashram I, Sivananda ashram II, waterfalls and temples, the streets, and varkala posts. The plan, as I was organizing my trip to India, was to stay at the ashram for the duration of my time…
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…….
Raspberry Linzer Cookies
I hope you enjoyed your weekend! The highlight of mine was meeting my sister at our parent’s house early yesterday morning to treat our Dad to a Father’s Day feast. I brought along a basket filled with ingredients for pancakes and sausage scramble, and Christina, my sister, brought her mad chopping skills. Boy can that…
Vegan “Tuna” Salad
Oh do I have a treat for you today! It’s not a fresh batch of gluten-free doughnuts, vegan cake, or a fun green smoothie, it’s tuna… vegan style. Before you go thinking that this recipe may be a bit too granola for you, I urge you to check out the ingredients list. Everything is easy…
Be True to You
I can just about guarantee that when I get together with my Mom, she’s going to bring me a box of things from my childhood. From baby clothes to kindergarten crafts, I’ve seen it all. I don’t know where she gets all the stuff, it just keeps coming! I’ve never been much of a sentimental…
5 Ingredient Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
The first time I enjoyed a rice crispy treat was at my girlfriend Jenna’s house. We’d just finished chowing down on a pot of KD; the staple in any 8 year old’s diet, when she offered to make us a dessert. The marshmallow mixture never made it to the pan. Instead, Jenna and I sat…
2 minute Mango Citrus Sorbet
My attempts at making vegan marshmallows this weekend turned out to be a total fail, but that didn’t stop us from having a great weekend! I’m enjoying Instagram more and more for capturing our adventures, so here goes! I picked up Kevin from the airport early Saturday morning that left me feeling like a zombie…
