Quinoa Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
I’ve often wondered what would happen if I replaced the oats in a classical oatmeal cookie with cooked quinoa. You know, for people that can’t have oats or want to liven up their cookie experience with a little high protein, quinoa action? Last week, I received a big box of Bob’s Red Mill Grain of…
Chai Latte Ice Cream (dairy-free)
When it comes to summer treats, a bowl of homemade ice cream is the very best thing. Whether you want your base to be made of cashews, bananas or beans, there is something for everyone.
Roasted Butternut & Arugula with Peach Rosemary Dressing
POWER POSSE POST BY SUZANNE HENDRIKS I love meeting new people. And, when I meet them? I know that there is no thought in their mind that I battled with a life threatening disease. 10 years ago, I was an energy filled, saucy university student who happened to go to the doctor for a stomach…

Macadamia Nut Hummus (paleo and oil-free!)
You know that unsettling feeling that you get when you’ve been away from home for awhile? You may enjoy where you are, but deep down you long to slide into your favorite pair of sweatpants, cuddle up on your couch and do nothing but watch sunbeams dance across the floor?
Triple Threat Green Smoothie
I always thought that a green smoothie had to be made with juice or milk. That it had to be sweet, thick and filling. And, because of the loads of healthy fats and protein, that a green smoothie just couldn’t be less than 300 calories.
Ultra-Easy Vegan Taco Salad
I went through this crazy taco salad phase a couple of months ago, right around my 27th birthday. No matter what I prepared for dinner, what marvelous things I baked for the blog, or the fabulous meals we enjoyed at restaurants, all I felt like eating was taco salad.
