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…
4 Ingredient Itty Bitty Strawberry Coconut Tarts
I’m constantly wracking my brain over what treats I can make that Kevin will actually like. He’s a simple guy. No dried fruit, no bananas, and definitely no lentils or crazy spices! Meat is good, MEAT is even better, and chocolate? Well, that’s a definite win. But I wanted to do something different this time….
Candy Apple Macaroons + Sugar Reduced Journey
We had some very mixed feelings about carob yesterday. I had no idea that people could hate carob, but now I know! As many of you mentioned, the best way to welcome change is to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it, that you will do it, and that whatever comes as a…
Raw Cashew Lemon Drops + Cleansing
Spring has sprung! [says the girl with 6 inches of snow on her front lawn] The birds are chirping, the cows are mooing, and our bodies are saying “please, please cleanse me!” We’ve been hibernating in our houses, eating earthy vegetables, and surrounding our organs with extra TLC [it’s perfectly normal and expected to gain…
Carrot Raisin Nut Muffins
My day off yesterday was awesome! Sometimes we all just need a day to lay low and recharge. I didn’t get to take pictures of the cow’s but the farmer said they’d be back out tomorrow so I’ll try again then [they were too far away from the fence!]. One of the activities I was…
Raw Blonde Nanaimo Bars
I can’t stop marveling at the weather change and how much sun I’ve been able to soak up since Sunday. I’ve even planned an outdoor long run for Saturday morning. I vote for no more snow until next winter, anyone with me? [It usually snows in May but I’m hopeful that this year will be…
Tropical Quinoa Health Bars
How is it that this weekend seemed to fly by even quicker than the last? I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday, which is good, including a bit of our taxes. I’m still regretting leaving it until the very last minute + not keeping things as organized as I should have. Here’s to…
Sweet Potato Carob Chip Cookies
Kevin and I watched TiMER [2009] yesterday. Leave it up to Kevin to come home with a movie that no one has heard of [or was I just left in the dark on this one?] Basically, the movie is about a society that builds a timing devise that will tell the user the exact time…
No bake Apricot Nut Fifteens
For all you new readers out there, fifteens are my way of combating a hectic lifestyle. Each fifteens recipe can be made in under 5 minutes, frozen in under 5 minutes, and enjoyed in under 5 minutes. Hence the name fifteens. [I know, I’m so clever! :P] Fifteens give us the opportunity to take 15…
Banana Drunk Macaroons
Is it Monday already? Bah! My rest day was fantastic yesterday! But I’m really not ready to go back to the gym or work today. I hadn’t realized it while planning this weeks’ posts, but there is an ongoing theme for many of the recipes this week. fiber + healthy and happy digestion I just…
