Spring is here, life is good, opportunities are abundant, and we’re kicking off the weekend with a fresh recipe! There have been some major changes happening in our life recently, things I’ve dreamed of forever but didn’t think were possible… until now. I’m embracing opportunities that I was afraid of in the past, grounding myself…

Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)

Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)

I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…

Chai Spice Roasted Almonds with Homemade Chai Spice Mix

Chai Spice Roasted Almonds with Homemade Chai Spice Mix

I can’t seem to eat enough almonds lately. Crushed, roasted, raw, butter, it doesn’t matter. I’ll take it all. Maybe it’s the manganese, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, iron, or plant based protein that my body is so attracted to. Whatever the case, I’ve been trying to get my paws on as much of it as…

Gluten-free Multigrain Rosemary Crackers

Gluten-free Multigrain Rosemary Crackers

I’m so late in sharing this recipe with you, but I can explain. It all started with a craving for buttery crackers about a month ago. Now, normally I’m really good at the whole recipe development process. I’ve lost many a written down recipe, and felt I had learned my lesson. But low and behold,…

Vegan Banana Bread Animal Crackers

Vegan Banana Bread Animal Crackers

Yesterday I told you about all the cleansing foods I’ve been craving this week. I compared the bodies’ natural detox patterns to trees shedding their leaves in the fall, and we enjoyed a bowl of glorious green soup. But I kinda left a small detail out of the story and it’s time I let it…

Cranberry Turkey Meatballs

Cranberry Turkey Meatballs

Have you ever looked in your freezer and realized that you’ve created quite the collection of random meat, gluten-free flours, frozen fruit, and nuts/seeds? That’s the story of my life right now. Everywhere I turn there are unopened bags of products that I’d purchased months before with the intention of using, or under the assumption…

Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pickles

Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pickles

Okay so I may have gone a little overboard on the Okanagan fruit and vegetable shopping on my way back from BC last week. I couldn’t help myself. I had a rented car with loads of extra space and the fruit and veggie stands were calling my name. For those of you who aren’t familiar,…

Blackberry Crackers

Blackberry Crackers

I’m happy to introduce you to Kristina from Spabettie. For those of you who don’t know Kristina, she’s one of the warmest, most caring, and dynamic women I know. Although we’ve never met in person, it’s hard not to get a sense of what she’d be like in real life. Her personality pours out of…

Raw Spirulina Energy Crunch Bars

Raw Spirulina Energy Crunch Bars

I think one of my favorite things about blogging has been forcing myself to come up with new snack ideas. Of course I have my favorites, but I can’t very well be posting kale chip, strawberry shortcake, and cracker recipes every week, now can I? It’s been nice to start each week off with a…

Vegan Sour cream & Chive Bacon Kale Chips

Vegan Sour cream & Chive Bacon Kale Chips

Oh.my.kale. Kale is one of those foods that many people shy away from because it’s green, looks like seaweed, and tastes funny on it’s own. Or, wait, that’s why I used to shy away from it. But nonetheless, there have to be others that feel that way, right? I was a kale hater until I…
