Grain-free Tabbouleh with Chickpeas
Wow, I had such a great weekend, I don’t even know where to start. Kevin and I got lots done around the house, all 8 recipes that I made on Saturday turned out perfect on the first try, and the weather was nice enough on Sunday that we decided to visit the local amusement park…
Blushing Apple Smoothie
I’ve fallen head over heals for cherries. We found ourselves at the Farmers Market last weekend and within moments of getting through the door, I took a bee-line straight to the rows of fresh cherries. The fact that I already had 3 bags of them sitting at home didn’t phase me. Farmer’s Market cherries? Fat…
Vegan Creamy Ranch Quinoa Salad
Did you have a good weekend? We had initially planned to go to Calaway Park, but it ended up raining all weekend so we decided to stay home and organize the house! Sounds much better than going to a theme park, right? *rolls eyes* It’s amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate over the…
Tomato Basil Salad
Just 18 days until the life I’ve always dreamed for myself begins. The suspense is killing me! Pushing myself to travel to India alone, despite my fears and reservations, helped me to believe in myself – a gift that no one can take away from you. It also happens to be a gift that may…
Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake
I try to supplement my chocolate cravings in creative ways that help me avoid succumbing to sitting on the floor of the pantry with my arms elbow deep in a family-sized chocolate chip bag. While sometimes I end up turning to the dark side, other times I surprise myself and come up with a creative…
Vegan Gluten-free Almond Peach Bread
Oh my gosh did we have a fun time last night at the Calgary Stampede. The weather was hot, the grounds were buzzing with activity… and may I just say George Canyon is one sexy man? Yeeha to that! The four of us got down to the grounds around 6pm. We walked around, ate fries…
Sweet Potato Cooler and Summer Lovin’ Salad
We just may have a warm, rain-free weekend upon us! Oh I hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that. My sister, Dad and I are headed to the Stampede to hit up the gluten-free eats on the midway and rock out to George Canyon at the Coca Cola Stage on Sunday night. There’s nothing…
Banana Bread Super Foods Smoothie
Banana and I have been best buds throughout my life. I just couldn’t picture a world without them. They add sweetness to an otherwise boring porridge, lend their creamy texture to smoothies, and caramelize nicely in a pan with some coconut oil and maple syrup as a late night treat. Out of the 41 recipes…
Chickpea and Sweet Potato Burritos + Sweet Potato Hash
Preparing for a camping trip is always a big deal for us. I create lists, line up everything by the front door to avoid forgetting things, and still, we end up scrambling last minute. I swear I’m an organized person I just get distracted, and so does Kevin! The one, and most important, thing that…
Vegan Cinnamon Curry Quinoa Burgers with Gluten-free Burger “Buns”
It’s rare that I make a recipe more than once or twice. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the things I make, I just enjoy the thrill of experimenting with new recipes far more than relying on the tried and true. Call me risky. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed trying…
