Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Out of all the things I missed while I was in India – hot showers, blankets (it’s too hot to sleep with any but I missed the cuddle factor), and my kitchen, cookies were at the top of the list. Always. If you’re not allergic to gluten, you can find countless biscuits and cookie-like treats…
Tasty Yummies: Gluten-free + Vegan Lentil “Meat” Loaf
I found Tasty Yummies over a year ago, right around the time I began Healthful Pursuit. In fact, Beth’s blog was the first to be added to my Google Reader; and later, the first to be posted to my blog roll. What can I say, she’s awesome! I’ve always been fascinated with Beth’s eye for…
Flavour Fiesta: Tandoori Salmon with Spinach, Cucumber and Pickled Onions

You mentioned that you weren’t keen on cleansing in the winter. This is the first I’ve heard of this,…
Crock-Pot Chicken and Rutabaga Greens Stew
Cold weather has hit Alberta. Over the past couple of months I tried to remind myself that the Spring-like weather was a treat for us in January.

This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad, Green Goddessphere at Sea, and Spinach Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette I never was big into kale.
