5 Ingredient No Bake Fudge Drops
There are certain days when a girl just needs her chocolate and yesterday was one of those days for me. Why I didn’t just have a handful of chocolate chips and be done with it is beyond me. Sometimes I over complicate things… I think it’s the Taurus in me. My chocolate themed day began…
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…
Our Little Monsters
Kevin and I spent the evening backing up the files on my computer, installing new software and setting me up on a new exchange server. Wild and crazy Friday night, right? Wooo!

Flavours of India: Dhal Aloo Kofta (vegan ‘meat’balls)
For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Aloo Palak, Payasam Pudding, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. A dish called malai kofta was one of the 6 meals we chose to make during our Indian cooking class. I’d never heard of it, but the name sounded cool so I shrugged it off and…
Grain-free Banana Bread Protein Cake
It seems like every time I go to the kitchen to prepare a meal or snack I end up with a bag of garam masala in one hand and a can of lentils in the other. I’m actually shocked that this recipe; prepared for breakfast on Monday, consists of just two spices, none of which…
Not our Average Sunday…
Kevin and I headed into the city yesterday afternoon to attend the Calgary Health Show using a pair of tickets I won on Facebook. We generally spend our Sundays hanging out in our pj’s, having pancakes for lunch, maybe indulging in a light nap in the afternoon, and if we’re feeling up to it, bath…
Living Open, Connected and Vulnerable
To read more on the living series; a selection of lessons I learned in India, be sure to check out living every moment, and living fearless. The ability to feel connected is coded in us on a neurological level. It’s what gives us purpose, meaning and ultimately the reason why we’re all here. Knowing this…
