Yasodhara Memories: Eggplant Harvest Bowl
I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables. They’re easy, versatile, flavorful and make for amazing leftovers. You can blend them with chickpeas to make hummus, add them to a salad, eat them plain, or stick them in between 2 slices of gluten-free bread for a quick sandwich. They must have known I was coming, because…

I don’t know about you, but come the end of the week I have a bunch of leftover grains sitting in the fridge from a weeks worth of sushi and rice bowls. Grains stay good in the fridge for 3 days but the thought of throwing them out kills me every time. Until recently, I’d…
Green Godessphere Dressing
Kevin and I had quite the jam-packed day yesterday. We headed to fabric land, the local antique store, home depot, and the mall. All in the name of finding some new things for my food photos. I think the antique store was my favorite, it was like an interactive museum! We got home, took the…
Yasodhara Memories: Sweet Almond Pâté
Among all the food we enjoyed at Yasodhara ashram, the almond spread was everyone’s favorite and quickly became a popular topic of conversation during my stay. When I got home and tried to recreate it I found it quite challenging to replicate. I knew there was: almonds basil honey lemon juice? Along with it’s characteristics:…
Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pickles
Okay so I may have gone a little overboard on the Okanagan fruit and vegetable shopping on my way back from BC last week. I couldn’t help myself. I had a rented car with loads of extra space and the fruit and veggie stands were calling my name. For those of you who aren’t familiar,…
