Raspberry Lavender Ice Cream
Nothing like a cool treat after a long day, right? Yesterday was my last day at the office for 2 weeks, so there was countless things to wrap up. Not only that, but I had an insanely long list of things to do before I could go home: pick up wholesale grains [one of my…
Refreshing Basil Lemon-Limeade Slushy
A couple of us girls at my birthday lunch chose to quench our thirst with a freshly squeezed basil lemon-limeade. I was totally one of those girls! Basil? Oh yes… It was love at first sip, but man was it a challenging to recreate. I gave up after 3 failed attempts and the peel of…
Raw Tomato Basil Zucchini Pasta
It’s finally starting to feel like Spring around here. We’ve had a couple of Spring showers, and I even got to walk the dogs at 8pm last night with NO JACKET. Yay! Best part about Spring? Landscaping! We moved into our house just under a year ago and currently have a dirt mud pit for…
Maple Mystery Butter
I couldn’t stop saying…. M-m-m-m-m-m-maply goodness as I was slathering this nut butter on a handful of crackers last night. Be still my heart. No fats were harmed in the making of this nut butter Did you know? Roasting nuts at temperatures higher than 170F causes damage to their delicate fats? When the fat in…
Cinnibun Oat Streusel Muffins
I had no idea how much garbage was in the food I ate before I began studying nutrition. From the preservatives, unnecessary sugars, carcinogens, dyes, flavors and chemicals, it didn’t phase me.

Yeast Bustin’ Carob Clusters
I’m happy to report I had Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats yesterday for breakfast and my tummy was as happy as could be. It was definitely the caprylic acid supplement that did me in on Saturday. In other news, I have today off and couldn’t be more excited about it. My plan today: Spin class +…
Hidden Gem “Butter” Cookies
I’ve been having crazy dreams lately, and no, not about food… although this next recipe did come to me in a daydream! I’ve been waking up with a peaceful mind, clear head, and focused intentions. What have I been dreaming about you ask? Yoga. I haven’t visited my mat since November, but after a couple…
Peach Pancake Cobbler
Kevin and I love our breakfasts. When we first started dating I would soak flax, oats, millet, and quinoa in a pot overnight and cook them up in the morning with some apple juice and maple syrup. A couple of months later we were addicted to cinnamon buns. Then, it shifted to porridge. Then, french…
Spiced Flax Balls
Hi guys! Technically I’m not “here” right now. I scheduled this post before I left just because well, I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing this recipe with you. At this very moment I’ve probably just woken up to the sound of Tibetan chimes and am preparing for a quick jog around the lake…
