It’s rare that I come across a recipe that I want to make SO badly that I literally run down to the kitchen to prepare it on the spot. The last time it happened was when I’d found Averie’s Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes. Just a couple of substitutions and it quickly morphed into what is…
I’m proud to introduce you to my new best friend, The kelp noodle. Just like the package says – healthful, delicious, easy to prepare, and fun to eat! You just can’t go wrong with this noodle! For those of you who have no clue what kelp is, let me break it down for you. Kelp…
Hubba, hubba, dairy-free recipes! But before we get to that… How is it already Sunday? And, the last weekend in September? Weekends have Life is just flying by. I spent most of the day yesterday running around the city. I took pictures throughout my travels to make the day a bit more enjoyable. After heading…
It’s been just over 2 weeks since I canned my first batch of pickles. I’m happy to report that no jars have filled with mold AND my pickles are to die for. Guess that about makes it time for another canning adventure, huh? Today it’s gluten-free, sugar reduced, pie filling. I created 2 versions of…

Pumpkins are filled with complex carbohydrates, fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamin A… but I’ve been avoiding them. I blame it on end-of-summer-denial syndrome.

As much as Kevin would love to have salmon everyday for dinner for the rest of eternity, I try to switch up our animal proteins on a daily basis. When I added animal proteins back to my life a couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would eat the cleanest…
Among all the food we enjoyed at Yasodhara ashram, the almond spread was everyone’s favorite and quickly became a popular topic of conversation during my stay. When I got home and tried to recreate it I found it quite challenging to replicate. I knew there was: almonds basil honey lemon juice? Along with it’s characteristics:…
Okay so I may have gone a little overboard on the Okanagan fruit and vegetable shopping on my way back from BC last week. I couldn’t help myself. I had a rented car with loads of extra space and the fruit and veggie stands were calling my name. For those of you who aren’t familiar,…
This long weekend has been so fantastic already. I’m thrilled to have another day today to continue cleaning the house, organizing our offices, and making a mark in the endless pile of laundry. It’s my first weekend at home in over 2 weeks so I’ve let a lot of things fall to the wayside. Sometimes…
