Emily’s Portabella Flatbread with Walnut “Cheese”
One of my favorite dairy-free recipes… are you ready? Yesterday turned out to be such an awesome day. I got everything done on my to do list + loads more! I wasn’t racing anywhere, I wasn’t panicking, and I even got to have a nap in my car in between appointments [if you know me,…
Bird Seed Granola
My dad is probably the last person in the world to be interested in eating healthy. He has always been madly in love with his Alberta beef, deep fried potatoes, meatloaf, perogies, kielbasa, licorice, [and his two daughters – but we’re good for his heart!] [me, my Dad, and little sister in ’90 having a…
No bake Raspberry Cashew Granola Cakes
Have you ever set out to do something to benefit your health only to realize it’s made you absolutely miserable? Story of my life last week. I began my yeast killing plan last Saturday with the best intentions, but by Tuesday I was exhausted, stressed, consumed by guilt, and craving anything I could get my…
Light Quinoa and Avocado Tabbouleh Verrines
As a teenager and young adult I was anything but comfortable with myself. I’d cry at the thought of being left alone and avoided as many silent moments as possible. I guess I was never taught how to appreciate my own personal value and how to build a relationship with me. After years of fear,…
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…
5 minute Strawberry Quinoa Flake Bake
This week has been crazy busy with training, consults, a flood of new work at the office, and a bunch of appointments with my coach, doctor, and Chiropractor. A busy week means literally no extra time to spend in the kitchen making fancy lunches. I had just 15 minutes a night to dedicate to packing…
Hidden Gem “Butter” Cookies
I’ve been having crazy dreams lately, and no, not about food… although this next recipe did come to me in a daydream! I’ve been waking up with a peaceful mind, clear head, and focused intentions. What have I been dreaming about you ask? Yoga. I haven’t visited my mat since November, but after a couple…
Vegan Creamy Honey Dijon Salad + Omega Croutons
Since starting my cleanse I’ve become obsessed with salads. Thankfully, it’s a great obsession to have coming from a girl that really could use more veg in her life. Problem is I get bored with salad dressings very quickly so I’m always trying to switch things up to keep it exciting. Creamy honey dijon, creamy…
