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…
5 minute Apple Quinoa Flake Bake + Cocoalmond Mania Butter
I’m 10 days into my cleanse and things are going well! To recap, my goals were: Increase water from 3 liters to 4 liters/day. CHECK Lemon water in the morning. CHECK 1000ml Ginger water in the afternoon. CHECK – I added grapefruit to yesterday’s batch. Add parsley to my breakfast shakes. 1/2 CHECK – I…
Cleanse Breaking Coconut Rum Balls
Okay so… rum is not part of my cleanse plan. And I know we’re so far away from Christmas that even the mention of rum balls may be depressing for some of you [sorry]. But with 12 inches of snowfall on Saturday, my mind + body was totally seasonally confused. It all started when I’d…
Peach Pancake Cobbler
Kevin and I love our breakfasts. When we first started dating I would soak flax, oats, millet, and quinoa in a pot overnight and cook them up in the morning with some apple juice and maple syrup. A couple of months later we were addicted to cinnamon buns. Then, it shifted to porridge. Then, french…
