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…
Double Chocolate Crunch Quinoa Flake Bake
I feel like the box should say: DANGER contains chocolate. When Alina at Enjoy Life told me they were sending me a couple of their new allergy-friendly chocolate products, I jumped for joy, then quickly started planning a recipe. As soon as the box came in the mail, I opened the bag inconspicuously and grabbed…
Almond Buckwheat Goji Raw Bars
There’s a couple of things I look for in a good snack recipe, naturally sweet freezable. So I can have snacks for weeks to come! on hand ingredients. I have so many goji berries, it’s unreal. fool proof. So what if I added a couple extra dates? The recipe turned out fine. The same cannot…

Layered Maple Oat n’ Apple Dessert Jars
Before we get to this drool-worthy recipe… guess what? Today is my 25th birthday! To be honest though, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the big 2-5. In preparation for the big day… I decided to look back over the last 6 years to remind myself of what I’ve accomplished, I ran my first 10km…
Berries ‘n Cream Parfaits + Homemade Coconut Yogurt
I don’t generally toot my own horn, but I have to say I was pretty proud of myself when I made this. Not because of the pretty parfait [although holy moly are these babies delicious], but because I made my own yogurt. Homemade yogurt. How cool is that? And… it was easy! I used to…
Willy Vanilly Protein Granola
Thank you for your supportive comments yesterday. Not only was the carrot cake loaf fun to photograph, but it’s also been great to have with me while I recover from this darn flu-bug! As some of you pointed out, satisfaction + happiness does strengthen our immunity! ———————————————————– One of the girls in the neighborhood I…
Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream “Cheese” Icing
This weekend was a lazy one. I’ve had a stuffy nose, fever, and headache for 2 solid days. As soon as I felt something coming on last Monday, I stocked up on camu camu and oil of oregano. It helped, but it wasn’t enough. On Saturday, I asked you on Facebook: What’s your strategy for…
