Green Energy Smoothies
The race starts in 3.5 hours. I’m tucked up in the hotel bed with an ice pack on my knee, sipping my smoothie and looking forward to my pre-race quinoa flake bake. Technically I should be sleeping, but I couldn’t go another minute without sharing this recipe with you! When my Mom and Dad came…
Impromptu Dinner Party
I wasn’t comfortable having people over for dinner before starting the blog. I always thought the meal would end up burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad tasting. But like they say, practice makes perfect. While I might not be perfect, I am definitely a lot more confident. Plus, it doesn’t hurt having a blog filled…
Vanilla Almond Flax Butter
Oh do I have a treat for you today! A lip smacking, spread over anything, hide from your spouse because it’s just that darn good kinda treat. It’s loaded with fiber, omega-3s, helps to reduce inflammation, balance your cardiovascular system AND will keep you looking younger longer with it’s high phytonutrient and antioxidant content. You…
15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Fresh Tartar Sauce
Enjoying a cooling dinner after a long day in the sunshine is pure bliss. Having a fear of heights while climbing a wall is the exact opposite. Kind of a deal breaker, actually. Although I did get higher with each climb, set goals and pushed my personal limit, I think it’s fair to say that…
Where it Vegan: Gazpacho
I recently had my parents over for dinner while Kevin was traveling a couple weeks ago. It’s nice to have the house to myself every once in awhile, but after a couple of weeks I tend to get a bit lonely! When my parents called me on a Monday night to ask what I was…
Grilled Fennel Dippers
You have 60 minutes before a group of your closest friends show up for a dinner party and you forgot to make an appetizer. What do you do? a) Run around the house like a chicken with your head cut off [an expression my mom always used… and lived constantly]. b) Head out to the…
The Everything Awesome Frittata
Oh my gosh it’s so hot out. It’s been 81F or higher since Sunday and looks like today will be about the same. Living in a town that sees 8 months of snow makes 81 degrees feel like we’re living in the sun. Thankfully our neighbors have air conditioning, and I have plenty of treats…
Green Eggs No Ham
Back in May, we took my Mom out at one of our favorite restaurants in Calgary, the Coup. I’ve gone to the Coup probably twice a week for the past 5 years, so I’ve literally tried every gluten free item on the menu, except a scrambled egg dish they call “Green Eggs No Ham”. What…
Italian Greens and Grains Bombs + Empty the Fridge Salad
Congratulations, Alex + Claire – you’ve won 4 boxes of gluten-free granola bars! I’ll send you an email in a few! ———————————————————— I know that’s not a bowl of chia pudding above, and chia has absolutely nothing to do with the recipe I’m planning to share with you, but enlighten me… Has anyone had chia…
Vegan Sour cream & Chive Bacon Kale Chips
Oh.my.kale. Kale is one of those foods that many people shy away from because it’s green, looks like seaweed, and tastes funny on it’s own. Or, wait, that’s why I used to shy away from it. But nonetheless, there have to be others that feel that way, right? I was a kale hater until I…
