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…
Healthified Supreme Chunky Monkey Ice Cream
For those of you who guessed chunky monkey ice cream, you were bang on! Although you did cheat and look at the title of the picture. Fail on my part for not editing that. It was early and I was consumed by chocolate chunks and walnuts. Can you blame me for being sucked in by…
Happy Monkey
We got up early this morning to put the final touches on the backyard + tidy up the house. Once our breakfast was digested, Kevin and I started dreaming up a snack that had to be: Sweet, but not too sweet Quick to make Cool us down Make the neighbors jealous What says morning “snack”…
Berry Pastry Jam Rolls
I’ve always had a soft spot for pastries. I haven’t exactly been able to indulge like I used to since removing sugar, dairy, and gluten from my diet. That was until I tried my hand at a vegan, gluten-free version of Martha Stewart’s pie crust. First pastry creation – Grilled inside out apple pies *swoon*…
No bake Blueberry Cream Pie
I was so tired yesterday morning that I decided to skip my morning workout, treat myself to a 30 minute sleep in, and prepare a nice breakfast. After enjoying an apple quinoa flake bake, I set the intention that I would find the time in the afternoon for a run. Thankfully, 10 hours later I…
Grilled Mini Inside Out Apple Pies
Every time I step foot outside after around 3pm, I smell barbecues. Everyone’s out on their deck, enjoying the sunshine, a juicy burger, and an ice cold beer. Sadly, because of all the yard work we’ve had to do [aka pay for], there will be no barbecue purchasing for awhile. For this reason, I’ve been…
Vegan Peppermint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Kevin and I have been busy bees this week! The weather’s been hot, the sunscreen is running on empty, ice cream has been flowing, and our backyard projects are finally coming together. Among other things, we dug a 24″ deep trench for the conduit cable for our new bug zapper. Take THAT mosquitoes. Mwahaha. I…
Canada Day Dessert Pizza
Canada Day is a big event at our house. We throw some meat on the grill, gather up as much Kokanee as we can, and blare the tunes. All in the name of this beautiful country we call home. This year, I wanted to do something a bit different. Of course there will be potato…
Guilt-free Nuts & Seeds Toffee Squares
Remember these granola bars from JK Gourmet? My first bite of the nuts & seeds flavor was heavenly. By my second bite, I was mentally trying to create a homemade replica of the delicious bar I held in my hand. Technically I failed at recreating it. Luckily, I randomly made a healthy toffee recipe that…
Rich Chocolate Quinoa Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
After my race on Saturday, we rushed home so I could make a birthday cake for my dad. One of my infamous dairy-free recipes that wins the hearts of everyone who tastes it. For real. I had originally planned to make Angela’s no bake version of her Chilled Double Chocolate Torte, but the avocados I…
