4 Ingredient Raw Lemon Pudding
Hubba, hubba, dairy-free recipes! But before we get to that… How is it already Sunday? And, the last weekend in September? Weekends have Life is just flying by. I spent most of the day yesterday running around the city. I took pictures throughout my travels to make the day a bit more enjoyable. After heading…
Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pie Filling
It’s been just over 2 weeks since I canned my first batch of pickles. I’m happy to report that no jars have filled with mold AND my pickles are to die for. Guess that about makes it time for another canning adventure, huh? Today it’s gluten-free, sugar reduced, pie filling. I created 2 versions of…
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Oh heavenly orange squash that marks the first day of Fall, how I’ve missed your versatility. Pumpkins are filled with complex carbohydrates, fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamin A… but I’ve been avoiding them. I blame it on end-of-summer-denial syndrome. Yes, it’s something many of us struggle with *tear* But in an effort to keep up with…
Green Godessphere Dressing
Kevin and I had quite the jam-packed day yesterday. We headed to fabric land, the local antique store, home depot, and the mall. All in the name of finding some new things for my food photos. I think the antique store was my favorite, it was like an interactive museum! We got home, took the…
Raspberry Ginger Baked Salmon
As much as Kevin would love to have salmon everyday for dinner for the rest of eternity, I try to switch up our animal proteins on a daily basis. When I added animal proteins back to my life a couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would eat the cleanest…

Healthy, grain-free, dairy-free, double chocolate, melt-in-your-mouth muffins with 110 calories, under 7 grams of fat, over 2 grams of protein, and (get this) 8 grams of sugar! Try saying that 3 times. Hard, isn’t it. You know what’s not hard? Eating 3 of these in one sitting. Not…
Yasodhara Memories: Sweet Almond Pâté
Among all the food we enjoyed at Yasodhara ashram, the almond spread was everyone’s favorite and quickly became a popular topic of conversation during my stay. When I got home and tried to recreate it I found it quite challenging to replicate. I knew there was: almonds basil honey lemon juice? Along with it’s characteristics:…
Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pickles
Okay so I may have gone a little overboard on the Okanagan fruit and vegetable shopping on my way back from BC last week. I couldn’t help myself. I had a rented car with loads of extra space and the fruit and veggie stands were calling my name. For those of you who aren’t familiar,…
Energy Smoothies
This long weekend has been so fantastic already. I’m thrilled to have another day today to continue cleaning the house, organizing our offices, and making a mark in the endless pile of laundry. It’s my first weekend at home in over 2 weeks so I’ve let a lot of things fall to the wayside. Sometimes…
Homemade Chai Concentrate + Iced Chai Lattes
It’s my Mom’s birthday today. Well, actually it was Friday, but we chose to push the celebration to today. I made my Dad a chocolate quinoa cake with vanilla buttercream icing for his birthday in June… so the pressure was on to come up with something: That didn’t involve a “baked good” because Mom doesn’t…
