15 Healthy Gluten-free Summer Meals
I was made for Summer. I was born to eat French fries and vinegar on the beach, chat with friends on the patio until 2am, and drown myself in barbecue sauce. Sure, I like stew, but I’d rather have a fresh salad instead. I enjoy a hot cup of cocoa, but would happily trade it…
Vegan Creamy Ranch Quinoa Salad
Did you have a good weekend? We had initially planned to go to Calaway Park, but it ended up raining all weekend so we decided to stay home and organize the house! Sounds much better than going to a theme park, right? *rolls eyes* It’s amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate over the…
Tomato Basil Salad
Just 18 days until the life I’ve always dreamed for myself begins. The suspense is killing me! Pushing myself to travel to India alone, despite my fears and reservations, helped me to believe in myself – a gift that no one can take away from you. It also happens to be a gift that may…
Healthy Travel 104: Camping and Eating Well
For more on the healthy travel series, check out packing for success and staying on track away from home, backpacking essentials, camping and eating well. The days of camping trips filled with pop tarts for breakfast, bologna sandwiches for lunch, and canned veggie chili for dinner are long gone. This girl is a clean eating…
Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake
I try to supplement my chocolate cravings in creative ways that help me avoid succumbing to sitting on the floor of the pantry with my arms elbow deep in a family-sized chocolate chip bag. While sometimes I end up turning to the dark side, other times I surprise myself and come up with a creative…
Zucchini Blossom, Medicine Hat
Kevin and I spent one full day of our recent camping trip to Cypress Hills putzing around Walmart supercenter, eating out and touring Medicine Hat. What’s that? Campers don’t go out for lunch? Well, they do when their name is Leanne and all she wants for lunch is a panini. A little searching on my…
Vegan Gluten-free Almond Peach Bread
Oh my gosh did we have a fun time last night at the Calgary Stampede. The weather was hot, the grounds were buzzing with activity… and may I just say George Canyon is one sexy man? Yeeha to that! The four of us got down to the grounds around 6pm. We walked around, ate fries…
What to Pack for a Camping Trip
Good morning! I’m getting pretty excited for my visit to the Stampede later today. It looks like it’s going to be a hot and sunny day – I may actually get to wear my cowboy hat down to the grounds, yeeha! It’s hard to believe we were on our way home from camping in Cypress…
Sweet Potato Cooler and Summer Lovin’ Salad
We just may have a warm, rain-free weekend upon us! Oh I hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that. My sister, Dad and I are headed to the Stampede to hit up the gluten-free eats on the midway and rock out to George Canyon at the Coca Cola Stage on Sunday night. There’s nothing…
Banana Bread Super Foods Smoothie
Banana and I have been best buds throughout my life. I just couldn’t picture a world without them. They add sweetness to an otherwise boring porridge, lend their creamy texture to smoothies, and caramelize nicely in a pan with some coconut oil and maple syrup as a late night treat. Out of the 41 recipes…
