Santa-Ready Dipped Gingersnaps (paleo, dairy-free, grain-free, sugar-free, egg-free + vegan)
Melt-in-your-mouth ginger cookie recipe with a chewy texture. Dipped in homemade vegan white chocolate for a Santa-ready cookie. No milk dipping required! Made with Epicure spices and baking tools. I promise, in January, I’ll make a lot of casseroles, high-fat meals, and whole food lunches. But for now, let’s do Christmas cookies, yes?
Roasty Toasty Coconut Ginger Squash Porridge
Healthy porridge made with fresh roasted butternut squash, gently scooped and surrounded with fresh cashew milk, toasted coconut and ginger chunks. I usually go for savory breakfasts over sweet only because if I start the day with an overly sweet breakfast, I’ll be craving sugar all day long.
Apricot Ginger Chia Chews
Cleanse day 5. Oh heck ya. We’ve done a full day of liquids, ate more veggies than we ever thought possible, and resisted cravings left, right and sideways. Nicely done! Make sure to check back over the weekend to view the meal plan for week two of our cleanse. Cravings got you down? You’re not…
Grain-free Ginger Spice Muffin Tops
The potential coconut sensitivity that I mentioned on Friday = false alarm. Thank goodness. I spent most of the weekend panicking that my love for coconut had eventually led to a sensitivity. (When you eat too much of one thing, especially when you’re prone to allergies, your body can begin to develop a sensitivity to…
Pumpkin Gingersnap Chia Breakfast Parfaits
Pictures like this make me miss home, and my kitchen. There’s something to be said for being able to mosey on down to your kitchen and create whatever tickles your fancy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time in London; there are so many amazing shops, great energy, and tasty food to be…
Raspberry Ginger Baked Salmon
As much as Kevin would love to have salmon everyday for dinner for the rest of eternity, I try to switch up our animal proteins on a daily basis. When I added animal proteins back to my life a couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would eat the cleanest…
How to make Homemade California Rolls
Homemade California rolls were a huge part of my life as a holistic nutrition student. The girls and I would get together on a Saturday afternoon; each required to bring one random sushi ingredient, and the host would be responsible for preparing the grains. Some weekends we’d have wild rice + yam rolls with spicy…
Happy Tummy Fruit Salad with Ginger Mint Glaze
Summer gets me in the mood to sit outside on a picnic bench and enjoy a bowlful of the freshest in-season fruits. Unfortunately for us Calgarians, it hasn’t exactly been warm this summer. But, just because the weather stinks doesn’t mean I can’t eat like it’s hot outside… while wearing my thick fall fleece and…
Sweet Nibbly Bits Yam Salad
Here I go, craving salads again. I may be in denial that winter is still among us. Just this morning I had a strong urge to get up early, throw on my running shoes, strap on my Garmin, and run down the country roads around our house. Problem is – as beautiful a run that…
Daal Inspired Ginger Beer Soup
You’ve heard the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”… but what if you’re OUT of wine? This was the predicament I was in today when I decided to make butternut squash & pear soup. What did I do? Well, the title says it all. I replaced the wine with ginger ale and began…
