Beach Bum Lentil Trail Mix (nut-free)
My little sister, Christina, and I couldn’t be more different. When she went outside to rough house with the boys, I stayed home and played barbies. Her room was green, mine was hot pink. I wore dresses, she despised them. When my Mom would bring home treats from the grocery store; like a carrot cake,…
Chick-Un Tikka Masala Pizza
Thank you for your support and positivity on Friday. You’re such a great bunch ;) I’m so pumped to start this next chapter in my life and share my experiences with all of you. Knowing that there’s only 100 days between me and the first day of the rest of my life is so exciting….
Simple + Healthy Roasted Eggplant Curry (baingan bharta)
From the time I begin my day at 4am, I’m on the move. I workout, head to the office for 8-9 hours, come home to walk the dogs, make dinner, and prepare for an evening of nutrition consults. I’m strapped for time, all the time but I’ll never, ever be willing to sacrifice a healthy meal…
Fudge-Tastic Brownies (vegan, gluten-free, grain-free + nut-free)
Oh have I got a treat for you today! I’ve held on to this recipe for months and am wondering why the heck I waited this long to make it. I guess there just isn’t enough time in the day to try each and every single recipe I have pinned, tweeted and Facebooked. But there…
Grain-free Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Cake + Vegan Version
The day I realized that hemp protein powder could be transformed into a cake was a moment I’ll never forget. I wish I could say that there was a master plan behind it all, but I’d be lying. I found it by complete accident. It was a blustery November evening and I was craving a…
Homemade Flax Milk
This dairy-free recipes was inspired by my trip to India earlier this year… While I was walking along the road in the small village of Kallikadu, a random Indian woman invited me into her home for a cup of masala chai. Generally I would have said no to a stranger… but I was in India…
Apricot Delight Breakfast Rolls
The long weekend is just days away. Do you have any plans? Ours will be somewhere along the lines of cleaning the backyard, going over to my parents’ house for Easter brunch, and stuffing our faces with chocolate. I could fib and say I’ll only have a couple of foiled mini eggs, but I’d be…
Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie
The weather is getting warmer, days are longer, and all I can think about are salads, green smoothies and lemon water. Are you feeling the same? If so, it’s a good indication that your body is shifting gears from a Winter supporting diet to a Spring one. Spring is the season of purification. Greens, additional…
Baked Oatmeal to Go
Breakfast has always been a challenge in our house. I love dried fruit, Kevin has an aversion to it, I enjoy a sweet breakfast, he’d rather no sugar at all. Needless to say, it’s rare that we can enjoy the same breakfast together. And that’s if Kevin even has the time to eat in the…
Flavours of India: Dhal Aloo Kofta (vegan ‘meat’balls)
For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Aloo Palak, Payasam Pudding, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. A dish called malai kofta was one of the 6 meals we chose to make during our Indian cooking class. I’d never heard of it, but the name sounded cool so I shrugged it off and…
