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…
Chocolate Banana Cake Bars (vegan + gluten-free)
I have a hard time walking away from a sale. I thought I’d learned my lesson from the 2011 canned pumpkin sale incident, but my freezer full of over-ripe bananas says otherwise. It’s just so challenging to say no to an over-ripe banana. They’re perfect for banana soft-serve, green smoothies, banana pops and can be…
Grain-free Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Cake + Vegan Version
The day I realized that hemp protein powder could be transformed into a cake was a moment I’ll never forget. I wish I could say that there was a master plan behind it all, but I’d be lying. I found it by complete accident. It was a blustery November evening and I was craving a…
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…
5 minute Breakfast Cup-cake
Sometimes all I want for breakfast is a bowl of apple sauce drenched in cinnamon and ground flax. I know it sounds gross; and I’m sure you’re already imagining how awful it may look, but it’s slop factor has never stopped me from slurping it up for breakfast on the daily. Placing it’s swamp-esque features…
Grain-free Vanilla Berry Protein Cake
We’ve feasted on microwave cakes, pancakes, and coconut sugar this week. So I just figured we’d keep the sweet going with one of my favorite go-to recipes that I’ve been enjoying as of late… Number one reason why I love it? They’re sugar-free! And that’s always a bonus, right? Since preparing my first protein cake…
Paleo Chocolate Fudge + Vanilla Bean Mug Cakes
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
Grain-free Carrot Cupcakes with Dairy-free ‘Cream cheese’ Buttercream
Every couple of months there’s a recipe that; no matter how many times I try, just won’t work out. I have a really hard time giving up on things and have a very strong desire to reach for my dreams, no matter how ridiculous they may be. Who dreams of making the perfect grain-free cupcake?…
5 Ingredient Jam-packed Protein Cakes
One of my biggest frustrations over the past couple of months has been my inability to build muscle. I changed up my workouts, tried out new activities, nothing was helping. As part of my shifting and staying motivated project, I decided to take a long hard look at my diet to see if there were areas…
Gingerbread Brownies
I’ve been dying to share this recipe with you for days and days and years! I exaggerate. It’s only been two days. I’m quite good at exaggerating though. My excuse? I’m a Taurus which naturally limits my ability to state the facts correctly. That, and my Mom was a pro at it too. It was…
