Coconut Cauliflower Rice
Bits of cauliflower enveloped in a toasted coconut milk and cardamom sauce. Coconut “rice” without the grains or starch. My girl Melissa from Clothes Make the Girl just launched her new cookbook, Well Fed 2 – a collection of recipes for people who love to eat. People who love to eat? That’s ME! (And I…
Roasty Toasty Coconut Ginger Squash Porridge
Healthy porridge made with fresh roasted butternut squash, gently scooped and surrounded with fresh cashew milk, toasted coconut and ginger chunks. I usually go for savory breakfasts over sweet only because if I start the day with an overly sweet breakfast, I’ll be craving sugar all day long.
Quinoa Sweet Potato POW! Breakfast Cookies
Fresh roasted sweet potatoes mixed with dark chocolate pieces and winter spices to fill your morning with the goodness of sweet potato pie. I wake up at 7am whether my alarm is set or not. I stretch in bed, sit up, twist this way and that and jump in the shower, first thing.
Creamy Vegan Bone Bowl
Greens bowl loaded with steamed greens, paprika roasted almonds and a creamy mushroom sauce. When your body is not getting estrogen, it has a hard time maintaining bone density – a major problem for someone who hasn’t been producing estrogen for over 5 years (aka me).
Vegan Speckled Pumpkin Curry
A spicy pumpkin-based curry with pureed pumpkin, roasted pumpkin cubes and a coconut milk and vegetable-based broth. No tomatoes, grain-free and ultra soothing. Going to India last year (by myself) was the wisest, scariest, most satisfying thing I’ve ever done. I fell in love with the feeling of being free, I connected with myself in…
Fruit & Veggie Smoothie Leathers
A healthy vegetable and fruit-based smoothie, made into fruit leathers for the perfect portable snack. It will work with any of your favorite smoothie recipes! It’s hard to believe that I’m already on day 4 of my 5-day juice kit-cleanse from Total Cleanse. As nice as it is to have full control over the juices…
Cleansing Cashew Milk + Juice Cleanses
Perfectly creamy, velvety milk made from cashews. Perfect end-of-day drink when you’re on a juice cleanse. Every 3 months, like clockwork, my body craves a juice cleanse. February, May, August and October. Year in and year out. It’s quite cool. Last time I got the cleansing urge was in August. We had just moved from…
Healthy Halloween Recipes (gluten-free + vegan)
My favorite healthy (gluten-free and vegan) Halloween recipes from ant hills, to eyeballs and every brew in between. Like you, I can’t believe that Halloween is right around the corner. This year is flying by faster than the last. My parents warned me this would happen as I aged. Ugh. No matter how old I…
Rockin’ Roots Warmed Kale Salad
Cinnamon roasted root veggies, combined with soft greens, toasted squash seeds and a garlic dressing. Serve this salad warm, fresh out of the oven. Kevin, Lexy, Pebbles, my Dad and I are nestled in the fifth wheel kickin’ it camping-style this long weekend. We slept in on Saturday, snacked on grain-free apple cornbread (yum!), played…
Sexy Lady Smoothie for Balanced Hormones
It’s been almost 2 months since I began hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The first couple of weeks were a bit rocky with minor sleeping issues, nausea, nervousness and irrational thoughts & behaviors. But, I am feeling pretty good now. My body is changing and it feels… right. For more details, read through my The Last…
