Coconut Curry Socca Crackers
I can’t believe a month has past since I started working with my running coach. Oh how time flies when you’re not having fun. I kid. Even though there are days where I feel like nothing has improved, deep down I know that I have made huge progress since starting this journey in August. haha…
Carrot Raisin Nut Muffins
My day off yesterday was awesome! Sometimes we all just need a day to lay low and recharge. I didn’t get to take pictures of the cow’s but the farmer said they’d be back out tomorrow so I’ll try again then [they were too far away from the fence!]. One of the activities I was…
Cinnamon Rice Pudding with Cherry LARABAR Sauce
I never in a million years thought I would ever be interested in marathon training. Yet here I am, 6 months after tearing my patella(s), accomplishing the long recovery, pushing myself to the max, all with this large end goal. As with learning anything new, there’s bound to be a couple of bumps along the…
Raw Blonde Nanaimo Bars
I can’t stop marveling at the weather change and how much sun I’ve been able to soak up since Sunday. I’ve even planned an outdoor long run for Saturday morning. I vote for no more snow until next winter, anyone with me? [It usually snows in May but I’m hopeful that this year will be…
Warm Cranberry Balsamic Pasta Salad
I got to catch up with Sona yesterday afternoon over a hot cup of tea at a Starbucks in Inglewood. The original plan was to hit up Wildernest Dream Cafe but they were closed. It’s been a year since I’ve heard of the place but have yet to visit. Eh, what’s another couple months? Sona…
Sleepy Blueberry Muffin Smoothie
Happy Saturday! I’m just about to head to the gym for a 60 min swim + 45 min run + stretch/core. Woot! Tomorrow is my rest day. Words cannot express how giddy I am. Another thing that makes me equally as giddy? glass dharma straws. Gail over at glass dharma was kind enough to send…
No bake Apricot Nut Fifteens
For all you new readers out there, fifteens are my way of combating a hectic lifestyle. Each fifteens recipe can be made in under 5 minutes, frozen in under 5 minutes, and enjoyed in under 5 minutes. Hence the name fifteens. [I know, I’m so clever! :P] Fifteens give us the opportunity to take 15…
Exotic Spiced Lentil and Tomato Soup
Soup isn’t a popular meal at our house. I love it, Kevin loves it, but we both love different kinds. Kevin’s idea of a good soup is broth + MEAT. My idea of a good soup is vegetables, meats, lentils, and spices. Kevin wont have anything to do with eating the soup that I like…
Oil-free Blueberry Streusel Scones
Lately I’ve been playing with rice, chickpea, sorghum, and buckwheat flours, something I would have never had the courage to do until a couple of weeks ago. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since beginning HP it’s that you just need to dig in and test ingredients until you get it right! Each flour is…
Heart Healthy Omega Granola
I had to pick up a couple of groceries on the way home last night. As I was pulling up to the store there was a sign that said bison steak $5.99/lb. If you know me, you know I LOVE bison. So it should come as no surprise that the minute I stepped foot in…
