Light Quinoa and Avocado Tabbouleh Verrines
As a teenager and young adult I was anything but comfortable with myself. I’d cry at the thought of being left alone and avoided as many silent moments as possible. I guess I was never taught how to appreciate my own personal value and how to build a relationship with me. After years of fear,…
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats + BBQ Kale Chips
Yesterday was so much fun! I was a bit discouraged at first: what foods can I make that will taste great, are high in coconut, 0 sugar, and high in protein? The best way I’ve found to approach changes to my diet is with an open [and creative] mind. Reminding myself a couple of times…
5 minute Apple Quinoa Flake Bake + Cocoalmond Mania Butter
I’m 10 days into my cleanse and things are going well! To recap, my goals were: Increase water from 3 liters to 4 liters/day. CHECK Lemon water in the morning. CHECK 1000ml Ginger water in the afternoon. CHECK – I added grapefruit to yesterday’s batch. Add parsley to my breakfast shakes. 1/2 CHECK – I…
Sweet Potato Carob Rice Pudding
My mind was going a mile a minute yesterday. There’s lots of change, opportunity, and set backs brewing in our life right now. Although change can be scary at times, it brings with it new opportunities, lessons, and chances for us to amaze ourselves. Many of the things that are happening are very exciting, I…
Black Bean and Ginger Pasta Fry + Spring Cleanse Plan
Yesterday was great. Kevin and I made pasta and watched movies all night long. Back to the grind today. I’m just about to head to the gym for 1hr swim + 40min spin + 6k run + 20min core work + a lot of snacking in between. There’s nothing better than snacking at the gym….
Exotic Spiced Lentil and Tomato Soup
Soup isn’t a popular meal at our house. I love it, Kevin loves it, but we both love different kinds. Kevin’s idea of a good soup is broth + MEAT. My idea of a good soup is vegetables, meats, lentils, and spices. Kevin wont have anything to do with eating the soup that I like…
Nutritious and Delicious Apple Fiber Bars
Something you should know about me… I love packing lunches! It started at a very early age for me. My mom was big into homemade lunches, so we grew up believing that’s all there was. By the time I was 7 I was coming home from school everyday and making my lunch for the following…
Sesame Socca Crackers + Creamy Tahini Salad
Holy moly! It’s March already, can you believe it? Let’s kick it off with some awesome eats. I rarely enjoy raw veggies during the winter [its too darn cold!], but today is an exception. Some days a girl just needs her raw veg. And other days, she needs hemp. Lot’s of hemp. Lucky for me,…

Smooth and Flavorful Sautéed Veggie Hummus
Many lessons have been learned over the past couple days. Taking pictures of food before you’ve tried it can lead to disappointment. You can never make too many brownies. Unless of course you’re going on your 4th run at it in 3 days. I never want to see chocolate again, is that bad? And my…
