Oh man, I love a good green smoothie. It gives me a sense of accomplishment having gotten a good dose of veggeis in to start the day. It’s almost as if nothing else you do that day matters because it started out good, am I right?!?!

30 minute Coconut, Cranberry & Almond Granola

January 12, 2016 by Diane 2 Comments
30 minute naturally sweetened coconut cranberry almond granola

Granola is one thing I’ve been making at home for a few years now because it’s SO easy and so much better for you. When I taste store-bought granola these days it’s actually shockingly sweet.

  Your liver is pretty important (aka, essential) for maintaining good health.

  This is my all-time favourite smoothie. I love the colour, I love the taste, and I love that it keeps me full all morning long.

Swiss Chard and Sweet Potato Quiche: Gluten Free and Dairy Free!

My husband and I are brunch people, hands down. Going out for a breakfast date is kind of our thang. We even went out for breakfast together on the day of our wedding, just the two of us, before all the crazy getting ready and picture taking began; it was cute. 🙂 We got married … [Read more…]

I’m kind of stoked about these muffins. When I was making them I thought they were going to turn out awful. I almost didn’t even cook them, and then I almost didn’t even bother photographing them and THEN, I took a bite of one. HOLY,  they are amazing!! I thought they would be hard as rocks … [Read more…]

What if, this Christmas, instead of giving friends and family a bunch of sugary, butter-filled cookies, you gave them a leg up on their New Year’s resolutions and gave them these chewy chocolate granola bars instead? They’re naturally sweetened, dense, chewy, and chocolatey; dare I say…they’re actually quite brownie-like! Plus that pop of dried cranberries … [Read more…]
