Vanilla Pear Muffins
I’m pretty sure I’ve become obsessed with muffins. It feels like I’ve been posting a gluten-free muffin recipe each and every week. Hmm… I supposed I have been. But wait, these muffins are just as good as the last and they’re grain-free too which is a bonus, right? Perhaps I’ve been drawn to create muffins…
Bombay Banana Smoothie
Our recent trip to Montreal was filled with food. It was the first, and only, trip I’ve ever been on where I ate out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and still felt good about the food choices I was making. In fact, more often than not, I was having cleaner food than I do at…
Vegan Banana Split Popsicles
We’re finally getting to experience a bit of Summer! Perhaps we took a bit of Montreal’s warm weather home with us last week? Whatever the case may be, I’m loving being able to bask in the sun without fear of being rained on. Each Friday, I bake a couple of sweet treats for Kevin and…
No bake Lemon Cashew Squares
I enjoyed our mini vacation, but boy did I have a good time in the kitchen yesterday! It felt like it’d been ages since I’d cooked something. As nice as it was to eat out at fun restaurants in Montreal for 4 days straight, come day 3 I was ready for a simple home cooked…
Raspberry Mojito Popsicles
Goat Dairy is so versatile! Since partnering with Happy Days Dairies I’ve combined goat dairy with chocolate, chicken, dill, beets, and pears to make salads, pate, cooling entrees and appetizers. Each recipe has me proclaiming that it’s the best I’ve made with Happy Days products, until the following week rolls around and I begin saying…
Good-for-You Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love bringing along homemade muffins with me on hotel vacations. They’re fantastic for snack or breakfast, can be filled with protein and healthy fats (which I always seem to lack when I travel), and even if they get squished during my trip, they still taste great. Generally I rely on a mini bar to…
Chicken Waldorf Salad
I enjoy my fair share of chicken, fish, and wild game meats, but you’d never know it from the recipes that I share here on the blog. Although I’d love to document my meat eating action and share with you the balance I maintain between plant and animal based proteins, I’m sad to admit that…
Brilliant Beet Slaw
Happy Friday! It’s been quite the week. Tuesday marked my last official day at work. I packed up the things in my office, said my goodbyes, walked out the door for the very last time, and cried all the way home. Change is hard, saying goodbye to people is challenging, starting something new is a…
Blueberry Fiber Muffins + Extreme Green Salad Dressing
Did you have a great weekend? Ours was so jam-packed with activities that I feel like I’ve been away from the office in ages. Always a good thing :) Kevin and I attended an afternoon showing of Batman on Friday. We were a bit disappointed in the movie, a view we’re 100% alone on when…
Pink Pate and Creamy Pear Salad
I couldn’t be more thrilled to be sharing with you a new project I’ve been working on for the past month. It’s called Inspirations with Leanne, where I’ll be sharing a new goat dairy recipe on the Happy Days Dairies website every week. The recipes will be made with as little allergen ingredients as possible,…
