Salad Challenge: Cucumber Dill Kale Salad
This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad, Green Goddessphere at Sea, and Spinach Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette I never was big into kale. I remember making a salad with it many years ago – replacing romaine for a bunch of kale in a Caesar salad and nearly died. It was so…
Berries ‘n Cream Chia Pudding
I’ve just chosen the 3 winners of the cacao powder giveaway! Be sure to check out the original post to see if you’re one of the lucky three! We’ve been back in Canada for 3 days, at home, with the dogs. Life is sweet! Although our diving trip to Dominican was fun, I really did…
Crock-Pot Apple Crumble Breakfast Pudding
Shortly after I started food journaling, I learned that my body does much better on fats and proteins than carbohydrates like grains and legumes. After making this realization, I was introduced; err more like fell, into a primal/paleo eating style. 4 days into it, I began missing big warm bowls of oatmeal. 8 days into…
Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)
I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…
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…
Crock-Pot Turkey & Navy Bean Pumpkin Chili
The last 24 hours are a complete blur. My head knows that it’s morning, but my body is telling me I should be getting ready to snuggle up in bed. Regardless, I’m sure I’ll be in tip-top shape tomorrow. We got into London around 11am local time yesterday (Sunday). By the time we checked into…
Tangy Dill Dressing
I’ve gone into another pickle craze. It happens every couple of months and has proven to be extra awesome when you have an entire shelf of homemade pickles in your basement. Gosh, making my own pickles has to be one of the best ideas I’ve ever had. Adding pickles to salad dressing? Another fabulous idea….
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…
Gluten-free Multigrain Rosemary Crackers
I’m so late in sharing this recipe with you, but I can explain. It all started with a craving for buttery crackers about a month ago. Now, normally I’m really good at the whole recipe development process. I’ve lost many a written down recipe, and felt I had learned my lesson. But low and behold,…
