Tropical Lime Kale Salad
I made a batch of 5-Minute French Fries earlier this week, smothered the whole plate in mustard (yeh, I like mustard on my fries) and proceeded to chow down to my hearts content. I got halfway through the batch and just couldn’t have another bite. I was stuffed.
Chai Latte Ice Cream (dairy-free)
When it comes to summer treats, a bowl of homemade ice cream is the very best thing. Whether you want your base to be made of cashews, bananas or beans, there is something for everyone.
Fresh n’ Raw Pad Thai Salad
I love enjoying food. Like, taking my time preparing a bunch of different sides, salads and entree options with not a care in the world. Like, sitting leisurely as I pick away at my plate. Like, indulging in a simple dessert with absolutely no guilt.
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.
Macadamia Nut Hummus (paleo and oil-free!)
You know that unsettling feeling that you get when you’ve been away from home for awhile? You may enjoy where you are, but deep down you long to slide into your favorite pair of sweatpants, cuddle up on your couch and do nothing but watch sunbeams dance across the floor?
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.
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.
Watermelon Smoothie Cooler
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…
Deluxe Cherry and Fennel Salad
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.
