Jicama. I know what you’re thinking, what the heck is a jicama? I’ll show you!
Red Rooster Smoothie
I am in love with light smoothies right now. Just a touch of fruit, a little water, a bunch of veggies and; if my body needs it, a scoop of protein powder, seeds or healthy oils, and I’ve got a big, summertime smile painted right across my face.
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.
Pineapple Curry Coleslaw + Overcoming Fears
Trying something new can be scary, overwhelming and downright mortifying. Unfamiliarity makes our wildly active and fertile imaginations run rampant. The what-ifs start piling up and, before we know it, we have a mental list a mile long of why we can’t move forward with something.

Do you find yourself drudging through your work day? Maybe the 2pm energy crash is a bit too familiar? My favorite way to boost my spirits in the mid-afternoon is to sit out in the sun, for 10 minutes or so, and sip on a healthy, refreshing drink. AND I have just the refreshingly light…
Corn-free Tortilla Chips and Summer Salsa
The tortilla chip is a marvelous thing. It’s salty, crunchy, textured, and goes well with just about anything. If you’re not down with corn, or you’re looking for a light summertime snack, the classic tortilla chip just doesn’t fit the bill.

We made it to Calgary! The dogs are ecstatic, we’re overjoyed, and the car is happy to be resting. When I was in Calgary a couple of weeks ago to look for a home for us, little pieces aligned and, miraculously, Kevin and I were able to get our Airdrie home back. The universe works…
Healthy Lemonade
I got home from Calgary late Sunday night and all I could think about was lemonade. Not just any lemonade, the (good) homemade stuff. The 10 lemon crushing, finger stinging, water and sugar boiling, lemonade. And not just a glass of it, I wanted a big ‘ol pitcher of it.
No bake Cinnamon Raisin Granola Bars
I’ve never been evacuated from my home. I’ve never shoveled wet mud over my basement windows, or stacked sandbags in front of my garage. I’ve never had my home torn into pieces by a river. I’ve never seen my valuables soaked in 8 feet of water. I’ve never had to pick pine needles from my…
