North Pole Green Juice
I remember the day my Mom came home with a juicer… it was a scary. Her eyes lit up with excitement, she said something about beets, spinach… kale. I remember thinking, ‘Dad hates beets, what person likes spinach, and what the heck is a kale?’ I liked my veggies with butter, dressings and spices, not…
Two Week Cleanse Program
All I’ve wanted to do for the past week is drink water, prepare salads of epic proportions, and drown myself in homemade beet juice. Yes, beet juice. I’m taking this as a sign that my body wants to do a cleanse, so a cleanse I will do. But hey, doing a cleanse is no fun…
Creamy Bacon Salad Dressing (with goat cheese)
Happy Saturday! I’m just about to head to an early morning yoga class but couldn’t go without sharing this delicious salad dressing recipe with you. It’s not the healthiest thing I’ve posted on the blog, but it sure is tasty… and fabulous with a plate full of veggies! Bacon is a nutrient all on it’s…
Portobello Orzo with Dairy-free Lemon Mint Cream Sauce
Oh man, orzo is awesome. It’s pasta, but small like rice which means that you can eat more of it with each spoonful than say, when you eat spaghetti. Paired with a nice and creamy (vegan) sauce and you have a meal that even your picky boyfriend will eat. Yes, I said it… Kevin enjoyed…
Macro Greens Bowl with Green Dressing and Protein Boost Mix
I purchased the reFresh cookbook back in 2007 and was quickly introduced to the amazingness that is Fresh Restaurant in downtown Toronto. I’ve prepared almost every single one of their recipes over the years and have long since dreamed of sitting in their Spadina location sipping on elixirs and filling my belly with yummy vegan…

Vegan California Rolls with Edamame Pate
Wow, what a great weekend I just had, my gosh. Did you have a good weekend? I know, it’s already Tuesday but I feel like it’s Monday so bear with me. It all began on Friday morning when I boarded the train at Montreal Central Station headed for Kitchener, Ontario. It was a long trek,…
Dairy-free Skor Bar Cups
It didn’t feel right ending Health-oween without paying tribute to the Skor bar. Just like the vegan Twix bar we enjoyed last week, I wanted to make a Skor treat that I could feel better about eating. Heck, I just wanted to be able to taste a Skor bar again. And taste I did… again,…
Devilish Eggs
No healthy Halloween recipe collection would be complete without an appetizer, right? It was a toss up between bat wings, octopus, and witch fingers. In the end, the idea of making evil deviled eggs won me over. I think I put the mustaches on the wrong way though. They should be pointed down not up and…
No Bake Vegan Twix Bars
I gotta say, I was a sight for sore eyes yesterday. I had chocolate behind my ears, my house smelled like bacon, there was grease all down my shirt and I was hobbling around with a slipper missing off my left foot. It wasn’t pretty. But it was all in the name of the Twix…
