Sketch Free Vegan: Fun with Blues!

Sketch Free Vegan: Fun with Blues!

Jaclyn and Jenn were the inspiration behind one of the blog’s most popular recipes, 100 calorie beary simple cookies. 7 months have passed since I made the first batch and they’re still made on a weekly basis around here. The thing I love most about Sketch Free Vegan Eating is their focus on simple ingredients…

Tasty Yummies: Gluten-free + Vegan Lentil “Meat” Loaf

Tasty Yummies: Gluten-free + Vegan Lentil “Meat” Loaf

I found Tasty Yummies over a year ago, right around the time I began Healthful Pursuit. In fact, Beth’s blog was the first to be added to my Google Reader; and later, the first to be posted to my blog roll. What can I say, she’s awesome! I’ve always been fascinated with Beth’s eye for…

Flavour Fiesta: Tandoori Salmon with Spinach, Cucumber and Pickled Onions

Flavour Fiesta: Tandoori Salmon with Spinach, Cucumber and Pickled Onions

I love to surround myself with strong and confident individuals who have found their passion, trust their instincts, and believe in themselves. I guess it just helps me stay positive and stay on track? When I came across Divya and Flavour Fiesta, it was inspiration at first site. I knew I just had to reach…

Fork and Beans: Chocolate Smooches

Fork and Beans: Chocolate Smooches

With all the planning it took for me to get ready for India; not to mention all the meals I preparing for Kevin for while I was gone, I didn’t get much of a chance to think about Valentine’s Day baking. Thankfully, Cara took one for the team and came up with a deliciously creative…

Apple Pie Green Smoothie

Apple Pie Green Smoothie

I should be beaming with excitement at the thought of my 3 week adventure (by myself) to India in just 4 days. But I have to share something with you… this girl isn’t beaming as brightly as she should be! I haven’t exactly shared my feelings about this trip on the blog because; well, I…

Rise and Shine Muffins

Rise and Shine Muffins

While visiting London this past November, a couple of colleagues and I quickly developed a morning ritual of meeting at the Starbucks on Berkeley Street before heading in to the office. Since Starbucks doesn’t offer any gluten-free baked goods; and even if they did, I’m not sure I’d be inclined to pass up a homemade…

Beloved Layered Sirloin Bake

Beloved Layered Sirloin Bake

We’re down to the wire. I leave for India in less than a week and have just a few last minute things to cross off my to do list – stop by the bank to grab some rupees, confirm my stay at the ashram, buy up some raw granola, pick up a pair of lulu…

Gluten-free + Vegan Chewy Carob Chip Cookies

Gluten-free + Vegan Chewy Carob Chip Cookies

Slide over dreamy cookie balls, there’s a new cookie in town and he’s a dangerous one! Super, freakin’ dangerous. Sneaky, really. Before you realize, you’ll have eaten 6 of these guys without even knowing it. They put a spell on you… At least that’s my excuse. Maybe I’m so infatuated with these cookies because I’ve…

Bacon Wrapped 2.0

Bacon Wrapped 2.0

We’re wrapping everything in bacon today. But if you don’t like bacon, feel free to stuff dried fruit with more dried fruit, nuts, and join us as we pig out on figs and dates. I won’t judge! But, if you’re having a bunch of people over this weekend, and those people like football, I can…

Caramel Apple Doughnuts

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…
