Yasodhara Memories: Eggplant Harvest Bowl
I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables. They’re easy, versatile, flavorful and make for amazing leftovers. You can blend them with chickpeas to make hummus, add them to a salad, eat them plain, or stick them in between 2 slices of gluten-free bread for a quick sandwich. They must have known I was coming, because…
Raspberry Ginger Baked Salmon
As much as Kevin would love to have salmon everyday for dinner for the rest of eternity, I try to switch up our animal proteins on a daily basis. When I added animal proteins back to my life a couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would eat the cleanest…
How to make Homemade California Rolls
Homemade California rolls were a huge part of my life as a holistic nutrition student. The girls and I would get together on a Saturday afternoon; each required to bring one random sushi ingredient, and the host would be responsible for preparing the grains. Some weekends we’d have wild rice + yam rolls with spicy…
Lean and Clean Turkey Burgers
Although the scent of chai has filled our house with the transition to fall, and the homemade chai lattes are flowing freely in the kitchen, I’m not ready to say good-bye to summer. I can accept that the Canadian in me will be enjoying burgers on the grill throughout the depths of winter… so long…
15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Fresh Tartar Sauce
Enjoying a cooling dinner after a long day in the sunshine is pure bliss. Having a fear of heights while climbing a wall is the exact opposite. Kind of a deal breaker, actually. Although I did get higher with each climb, set goals and pushed my personal limit, I think it’s fair to say that…
Stampede Barbecue Lentil Sandwich and a Yeeha!
Late night partying, men in cowboy hats, and the smell of manure is in the air. [I swear when you grow up surrounded by the stuff, it doesn’t bother you at all]. Although we don’t join the Calgary Stampede festivities anymore, it’s hard not to miss out on the action from afar. [source] The Calgary…
Italian Greens and Grains Bombs + Empty the Fridge Salad
Congratulations, Alex + Claire – you’ve won 4 boxes of gluten-free granola bars! I’ll send you an email in a few! ———————————————————— I know that’s not a bowl of chia pudding above, and chia has absolutely nothing to do with the recipe I’m planning to share with you, but enlighten me… Has anyone had chia…
Pumpkin Pesto Pasta + Grapefruit Cranberry Fizz
We had quite the productive weekend! Kevin has been working with our neighbors on our many ongoing backyard projects. By the end of the week we should have a fence, full deck [with stairs!], grass, trees, and a fire pit! Before: Progress: Stopping for a much needed Corona. I couldn’t be more excited to finally…
Dinner in 10: Jalapeno Chicken Quesadilla
How is it June already? Are you enjoying the same nice weather that we’ve been having these last couple of days? I am so happy I ended up extending my vacation by a couple of days in hopes of getting caught up on things. I’ve been busy cleaning the house, putting away laundry [it never…
Spicy Mango Rice Bowl with Tofu (or chicken)
I’ve been enjoying these rice bowls in my lunch all week, but haven’t had the chance to share the recipe with you. I blame homemade yogurt, preparing for my race, and berries n’ cream parfaits. Do you forgive me? My eats this week have been marvelous. No complaints are coming from this stomach, that’s for…
