Sunflower Cream Salad with Sweet Taters + Dill Chicks
Happy Friday 13th! Good things always happen to me on Friday 13th, so I’m pretty excited to see what flourishes today! ————————————– There are a couple of requirements that a salad needs to have in order for me to want to eat it: a good [homemade] salad dressing. lots of spices and flavor. a vast…
Baked French Onion Hummus
Thanks for all of the birthday wishes yesterday! You are such a great bunch! My birthday was filled with great things… I went out for lunch at the Coup with a couple of amazing ladies from the office, had an amazing salad with tofu, chickpeas, and sprouts, received my free coconut oil, courtesy of Averie’s…
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…
Sweet Lemon Salad with Lemon Pepper Tempeh Croutons
I have a confession to make… I hate veggies. Wait, no… that’s a little too drastic. I just hate boring veggies. I’m not one to be seen snacking on a carrot unless it’s loaded with hummus. You’ll never have to worry about me stealing a slice of your cucumber. Wait, is that salt & pepper…

Light Quinoa and Avocado Tabbouleh Verrines

Sweet Strawberry Ice Cream + Chocolate Sauce
I’m happy to report that I completed everything on my to do list, except for the photography stroll I had planned for the afternoon. I have a good excuse though. The minute I walked outside with camera in hand, it started snowing. Snow + Kevin’s DSLR = Leanne in a lot of trouble if something…
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 +…
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats + BBQ Kale Chips
Yesterday was so much fun! I was a bit discouraged at first: what foods can I make that will taste great, are high in coconut, 0 sugar, and high in protein? The best way I’ve found to approach changes to my diet is with an open [and creative] mind. Reminding myself a couple of times…
