5 minute Mango Tropics Quinoa Flake Bake
I’ve been drawn to these mango quinoa bakes this week because they’re fast and can be prepared the night before. That, and there was a mango sale at Superstore over the weekend. Let’s just say I may have gone a little overboard on the stockpiling. Bonus is, I’ve learned how to freeze multiple pounds of…
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…
10km Footstock Race Recap
Right around this time last month, I participated in my first 10km race. It was raining, but I managed. For this race, we experienced torrential downpour. No word of a lie, there were times where closing my eyes and running was better than keeping them open and drowning my eyeballs. But, I did it. Pre-race…
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…
Corn-free Nachos with Tasty Toppings + Mojito Drops Dessert
I may or may not be on a major Mexican kick right now. I can’t seem to get guacamole + fresh salsa in my tummy fast enough. In school, we learned quickly that when we didn’t know the answer to a question like, “list 5 foods that have Vitamin E”, or “List 3 foods that…
Strawberry Cinnamon Shortcake Sandwiches
I swear this totally constitutes as a breakfast item. Before I started the blog I wasn’t fully aware of my love for breakfast. Now that I have a recipe page that documents my daily eats, it’s clear to see that early morning eating is the way to my heart. Shortcakecut to my heart? These little…
Sleepy Raspberry Lemon Poppy Seed Smoothie
I wish I could say that I’ve played an instrumental role in the building of our fence, but I’d be lying. Although I did cook up some mean deer sausages for Kevin last night, so that has to count for something. …. right? I can’t believe how much they’ve gotten done in just 4 days….
I am Fit
I was blown away with the amount of feedback all of you left on Saturday’s positive affirmations project post. Some included: Chelsea: I believe in myself everyday and on days I don’t it’s only because I know I’m not pushing myself to be my best. When that happens I get up and do something about…
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…
Positive Affirmations
It wasn’t until recently that I noticed how often I spoke down to myself. From thinking I wasn’t good enough, that I couldn’t accomplish the task at hand, or that someone was better than me. I told myself these things without a second thought. Negativity and self sabotage had become such a huge part of…
