Salad Challenge: Cucumber Dill Kale Salad
This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad, Green Goddessphere at Sea, and Spinach Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette I never was big into kale. I remember making a salad with it many years ago – replacing romaine for a bunch of kale in a Caesar salad and nearly died. It was so…
Berries ‘n Cream Chia Pudding
I’ve just chosen the 3 winners of the cacao powder giveaway! Be sure to check out the original post to see if you’re one of the lucky three! We’ve been back in Canada for 3 days, at home, with the dogs. Life is sweet! Although our diving trip to Dominican was fun, I really did…
Gluten-free Gingerbread House
Hi everyone, how was your Christmas? Ours was over in a flash! We got home from Dominican at noon on Christmas day. Both of us managed to stay awake until 7pm (minus a couple of unplanned naps throughout the day) before we fell asleep on the living room couch for over 14 hours. We didn’t…
5 Ingredient Chewy Vanilla Coconut Cookies
There’s nothing like waking up in a foreign country and knowing that there’s a little something hidden away in your hotel room that will make the world of difference to your stay. I’m not talking about extra sunblock, a fancy sundress, or the tens of tiny bottles of rum from the mini bar. I’m talkin’…
Crock-Pot Apple Crumble Breakfast Pudding

Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)
I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…
Chai Spice Roasted Almonds with Homemade Chai Spice Mix
I can’t seem to eat enough almonds lately. Crushed, roasted, raw, butter, it doesn’t matter. I’ll take it all. Maybe it’s the manganese, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, iron, or plant based protein that my body is so attracted to. Whatever the case, I’ve been trying to get my paws on as much of it as…
Eggnog Smoothie with 1 Minute Vanilla Whip
Oh my nog. It doesn’t get better than this. Creamy deliciousness topped with a high protein sweet whip… zomg take me away. I did two things with my leftover homemade eggnog – pancakes and a smoothie. And when all was said and done, I wish I had just made two smoothies and been done with…
Dairy-free Eggnog
I spent the weekend singing along to Christmas music as I flitted around my kitchen creating Christmas treats for…. myself. Ya, I dance in my kitchen and I’m proud of it. I’d like to think that it sufficiently revved up my appetite for a nice full cup of homemade eggnog… or two. But who’s counting,…
