On the Move
It’s all fun and games until a gigantic moving truck shows up at your house, spends all day loading up your belongings and heads out into the sunset. Huh, I guess we’re actually doing this. I woke up at 5am on Tuesday morning (the day of the big move) so that I could spend a…
Grain-free Chocolate Caramel Cannoli Cake with Cara’s Cravings
These last couple of days have been nourishing, relaxing and full of balance, a nice change from the stress and anxiety that was rocking our lives as we prepared for the move. All of our things were loaded onto the moving truck successfully, our visit with my parents has been fabulous, I’ve had time to…
Frozen Raspberry Banana Muffins from KatieDid
Kevin and I are so appreciative of the supportive loving comments you all shared with us yesterday in response to our next big adventure. We sat on the floor of our empty home last night and read them together. Thank you. We’re kicking off a series of insanely awesome guest recipes with Katie, the coconut…
Our New Life
We’re about as ready as we’ll ever be for the next big change in our life – a move across the country to Montreal… today. If you feel that this has come on quite suddenly, you’d be right. Kevin and I made the decision about 1.5 months ago and it’s been a whirlwind of craziness…
Gingerbread Protein Pancakes
We had quite the action-packed weekend! Kevin’s Mom, Renee, flew in from Victoria on Thursday evening. On Friday, we ate muffins, walked the dogs, and headed to the grocery store for a couple of items for dinner. Before we knew it, it was time to pick up Kevin from the airport and race home to…
Aux Vivres, Montreal
I’d never been to a full-on vegan restaurant until we visited Montreal earlier this month. There’s such a healthy, take-care-of-your-body, organic pulse to the city, it’s fabulous. Just as I had with Crudessence, I went to Aux Vivres twice. Partly because I was in the mood for another vegan meal, and also because I couldn’t…
Quick and Simple Whole Foods Recipes
When I became curious about clean eating, I found it difficult to get inspired to create healthy food for myself. I knew where to find healthy, whole foods recipes, but actually going through with it and making a meal was a whole other ball game. I was intimidated by hard to find ingredients, shied away…
Creamy Chicken Risotto
3 entrees in one week? I don’t think this has ever happened on the blog. I’m the girl that enjoys pancakes for dinner, gluten-free cupcakes in the afternoon, and chowing down on homemade granola… not gushing over a rib-sticking, comforting meal. Hypothetically if my sweet tooth were to never return, I think it’s fair to…
Paleo Beef Kebabs with Chunky Tzatziki
Boy, it was tough to get up this morning! I stayed up far too late watching movies and chatting with Kevin on Skype. My routine always gets a bit mixed up when Kevin’s in the UK for work. Falling asleep on the couch in the early evening, waking up to chat at 11pm, and sleeping…
Vegan Chili Mac ‘n’ Cheese Casserole
I have a real treat for you today. The team over at DeLallo has invited me to prepare a couple of recipes using their new line of gluten-free pastas and stop by their blog to share my thoughts on gluten-free living. At the beginning of the month, I made a pasta pizza with their corn…
