Healthy Charms Cereal with 4 Flavor Variations
Do you ever buy a product at the grocery store and think man I could totally make this at home and save a bunch of money? That happens a lot around here. Like the day I found out we could raise chickens in our backyard. Note: before entertaining the idea, make sure your dog doesn’t…
Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
Saturday was the day of running around like a crazy person. I slept in by accident, tripped over my gym bag, stubbing my toe in the process, lost my toothbrush (how does that even happen?) and spilled a carton of almond milk on the carpet. By the time I got to the gym at 11am…
Oil-free Lemon Blueberry Buckwheat Bakes
When I shared my Fall training plan with you, I’d mentioned that I was hoping to switch up my diet to support a quicker race pace. I knew in order to do this, it would come down to two things: Shed fat Build lean muscle mass In a healthy way. No protein bars, no calorie…
Putting Leftover Grains To Work: 3 Minute Breakfast Bowl
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…
Millet and Amaranth Porridge
Since getting back from the ashram late Tuesday night, all I’ve wanted to eat is millet. Millet, millet and more millet! You see, each morning after our yoga asana classes, we would head to the Mandala House for a bowl of hot millet porridge and fresh fruit from the garden. The toppings were vast, the…
Happy Tummy Fruit Salad with Ginger Mint Glaze
Summer gets me in the mood to sit outside on a picnic bench and enjoy a bowlful of the freshest in-season fruits. Unfortunately for us Calgarians, it hasn’t exactly been warm this summer. But, just because the weather stinks doesn’t mean I can’t eat like it’s hot outside… while wearing my thick fall fleece and…
Snickerdoodle Quinoa Flake Bake
I asked my followers on Facebook a couple of weeks ago what quinoa flake bake flavor I should come up with next. Although there was a strong following for carrot cake at first, snickerdoodle ended up sliding into first base. A couple of tries later and I successfully landed on a cake that was perfectly…
The Everything Awesome Frittata
Oh my gosh it’s so hot out. It’s been 81F or higher since Sunday and looks like today will be about the same. Living in a town that sees 8 months of snow makes 81 degrees feel like we’re living in the sun. Thankfully our neighbors have air conditioning, and I have plenty of treats…
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
Holy dirt. It’s 6pm on a Saturday and I’m absolutely pooped. But hey, look at the progress we’ve made in just over 24 hours! Friday My goal on Friday was to get most of our front garden sorted out. What I quickly learned is that gardening isn’t exactly thrilling. That is until you blare some…
Peaches n’ Cream Overnight Oats
As a kid, I ate peaches and cream oats like it was my JOB! That, and apple cinnamon. My sister would get so upset when I’d raid the oatmeal variety packs and steal all of the good flavors. You snooze, you lose, right? Thankfully with overnight oats, you snooze and you WIN every time. Good…
