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…
Vanilla Nut Hemp Milk
Oh jeez, Calgary is rocking my world right now. I’m happy. I’m smiling. I’m all lit up. I attended my sister’s convocation (the scientific cookie of the family!), spent Papa’s day with my Dad, girls night with Mom… it’s been nourishing.
5 Ingredient Hazelnut Toffee Squares

June is shaping up to be one of those months. While everything that’s going on is a bit overwhelming, it’s also very exciting, momentous, and…
Lemon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
Celebration is a beautiful thing. Celebration is a surrender to what is; a wholehearted appreciation for the present moment. Celebrating our lives, our bodies, our circumstances, our food, our allergies; everything that has led us up to this point, is our choice.
Summer Mayo-free Potato Salad
Here in Canada, our long weekend was this past weekend. There were barbecues lit up everywhere, the smell of charcoal at every turn, and; because 3 days off warrants a visit from a special friend, Angela made the trek to Montreal to join in the long weekend festivities. We grilled to our hearts content, watched…
Vegan Lemonade Ice Cream
I made ice cream for us today… But it’s not just any ‘ol ice cream, it’s vegan ice cream with a heavy dose of magnesium. I call it, anti-stress ice cream.
