Berries ‘n Cream Parfaits + Homemade Coconut Yogurt
I don’t generally toot my own horn, but I have to say I was pretty proud of myself when I made this. Not because of the pretty parfait [although holy moly are these babies delicious], but because I made my own yogurt. Homemade yogurt. How cool is that? And… it was easy! I used to…
Willy Vanilly Protein Granola
Thank you for your supportive comments yesterday. Not only was the carrot cake loaf fun to photograph, but it’s also been great to have with me while I recover from this darn flu-bug! As some of you pointed out, satisfaction + happiness does strengthen our immunity! ———————————————————– One of the girls in the neighborhood I…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Cinnamon Raisin Flatbread
Yesterday was a really, really good day. It started off with a Sleepy Berry Fiberlicious Smoothie – there’s nothing like waking up and not having to measure my smoothie ingredients. Then I got to catch up on some work blog reading before heading to my Monday morning spin class. Yesterday’s class was time trials aka…
Sweet Potato Carob Rice Pudding
My mind was going a mile a minute yesterday. There’s lots of change, opportunity, and set backs brewing in our life right now. Although change can be scary at times, it brings with it new opportunities, lessons, and chances for us to amaze ourselves. Many of the things that are happening are very exciting, I…
Goldilocks Scones
Happy Thursday everybody! What do you have planned today? On my to do list this morning: shoveling the driveway. Am I going to do it? Nah… I’m in denial over the snow we’ve been graciously given, so I think I’ll just ignore it and head to the gym instead. It’s great to hear that all…
