Paleo Beef Kebabs with Chunky Tzatziki

Boy, it was tough to get up this morning! I stayed up far too late watching movies and chatting with Kevin on Skype. My routine always gets a bit mixed up when Kevin’s in the UK for work. Falling asleep on the couch in the early evening, waking up to chat at 11pm, and sleeping…

Vegan Creamy Ranch Quinoa Salad

Did you have a good weekend? We had initially planned to go to Calaway Park, but it ended up raining all weekend so we decided to stay home and organize the house! Sounds much better than going to a theme park, right? *rolls eyes* It’s amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate over the…

15 minute Maple Pepper Salmon Cakes

I have this thing for salmon. Craving? Mild obsession? I don’t know. Whatever it is, it’s strongest at work and will last all morning until I give in, ditch my lunch kit, and head to Joey’s Barlow to enjoy a $19.99 salmon fillet. I’m not the type to forgo an opportunity to enjoy a homemade…

Oh my goodness, I’m just waking up now instead of the 3 hours ago that I intended. Kevin flew in from Montreal last night and his flight was delayed to 12:08am. As much as I love seeing him at the airport and being there to welcome him home, waking up halfway through the night to…

Caramel Apple Doughnuts

I love caramel apples. I love dairy-free recipes. The gooey treat reminds me of the afternoons in the kitchen with my Mom, melting caramel for Halloween apples; and later, the endless hours I spent hanging out at the Calgary Stampede Midway as a teenager. Those caramel apples were upwards of $8 a pop, but that…

Thai Basil Pecan Pesto

Kevin got a new photography toy! They call it a beauty dish. It’s supposed to distribute light perfectly across the model you’re shooting. [source] Don’t let the name of the product fool you, it will not drastically improve the beauty of your subject. Especially if that subject just started up with spin classes after a…

Tangy Dill Dressing

Tangy Dill Dressing

I’ve gone into another pickle craze. It happens every couple of months and has proven to be extra awesome when you have an entire shelf of homemade pickles in your basement. Gosh, making my own pickles has to be one of the best ideas I’ve ever had. Adding pickles to salad dressing? Another fabulous idea….

Quinoa Salad with Smokey Bear Dressing

Quinoa Salad with Smokey Bear Dressing

Is it weird that the entire time I was enjoying this bowl of quinoa salad I was thinking of Smokey the bear? [source] Only you can prevent forest fires… Oh my gosh, blast from the past. But this recipe isn’t about bears, or forest fires, or PSA’s from 1950, sorry to disappoint. This recipe is…
