Double Chocolate Crunch Quinoa Flake Bake
I feel like the box should say: DANGER contains chocolate. When Alina at Enjoy Life told me they were sending me a couple of their new allergy-friendly chocolate products, I jumped for joy, then quickly started planning a recipe. As soon as the box came in the mail, I opened the bag inconspicuously and grabbed…
Sleepy Smoothies!
Happy Saturday :) Stefanie over at The New Healthy invited me to write a guest post on how we can all make a quick + delicious breakfast. What better way to kick it all off than with a couple new additions to the sleepy smoothie family? Strawberry cheesecake or chocolate chip cookie dough anyone? Check…
Two-Bite Black Bean Fudge Cupcakes
Just my luck. Our good weather turned into a couple of inches of snow this morning + a bunch overnight last night. Bonus! Instead of spending yesterday afternoon working on our backyard, I changed into a big woolly sweater, made chocolaty cupcakes + worked on my knee strengthening physio exercises. FYI: these cupcakes would be…
Chocolate Hemp Runners Repair Bars
30 days ago I realized that having one huge fitness goal was dragging me down mentally and discouraging me from keeping up with my training. So, I opted for setting smaller goals so I could be encouraged by my ongoing progress. Let’s see how I did… Run for a consecutive 15 minutes without pain in…
Dipped Rose Shortbread Cookies
I may or may not have gone overboard on Valentine’s Day recipes. It kinda just… happened. I lost myself for 5 hours baking on Saturday. When I bake, I taste, I experiment, I taste some more… I made over 6 different things 1-2 times each. That’s a lot of taste testing in 5 hours. I…
Irresistible Chocolate Truffle Cookies
I was going to begin today’s post by saying “I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day”, but I’d be lying. Although I say that I don’t celebrate, or care, year after year I find myself running to a craft store on February 13th getting supplies for a homemade present for Kevin. I just…
Chocolate Almond Banana Spread
If you have celiac disease and live with others that consume gluten containing foods, chances are you’ll fit into one of the three categories below: You have 2 toasters at home – if so, luck you! You’ve tried to make your toast in the oven (and have failed miserably – unless you have a trick…
Chocolate Cups
Today marked my last day at the office until the New Year and the completion of our blondies in a jar Christmas gift project. I got to the office at 6am and hustled to get everything done so I could leave with a clear mind at the end of the day. I topped the day…
Cacao Macaroons
On Tuesday night I treated myself to a raw chocolate making class at the Light Cellar in Bowness, Calgary. When signing up for the class I was told I’d be eating loads of chocolate and if you know me you know I love my chocolate, so getting excited for this course was an easy task….
Chocolate Hemp Pudding
Thank you Tara for sharing this recipe! I can vouch at how well this turns out. It has a perfect balance of chocolate that satisfies cravings and is a great “dessert” for the morning. This comes out with a texture somewhere between a pudding and a mousse, but it does a good job of satisfying…
