I’ve had a great time testing and perfecting this no-bake brownie recipe. I mean, I pretty much need a chocolate fix on the daily and this is it! Totally feels like a decadent treat but really it’s just an awesome source of some pretty important nutrients. Cacao is an amazing source of antioxidants, iron, magnesium, … [Read more…]
This here was (is?) my go-to postpartum lunch. I seriously ate this every day for about 3 months, maybe 6, and I’m currently eating it while writing this as my 1 year-old naps. Which is why I figured I should share it with any mama friends out there, and for those of you who just … [Read more…]
This soup. I’ve had this so many times lately and I’m just not getting sick of it. I’m thinking it’s about time I share it, no?! This butternut squash soup is my take on my Nonna’s “Milk Soup.” I know, it sounds odd, but we begged for this stuff as kids. And I never really … [Read more…]
Oh hey, it’s been like forever since I posted a recipe. Ya know that whole, having a baby is a chaotic life adjustment thing? Well yeah, it’s true. It’s awesome and raw and incredibly humbling and rewarding all at the same time and I’m loving it up. But it’s been hard to get back in … [Read more…]

And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Maybe just improve the health aspect of it?! That’s where these Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats come in. Super easy (hello, make … [Read more…]

But these Chewy Honey Nut Granola Bars are just as good, if not better, and just as customizable. I simplified the ingredient list a bit and you can use whatever … [Read more…]
Itâs about that time for another granola recipe!! And Iâm kinda kicking myself for not making this sooner, as in, for Christmas, because itâs got those quintessential Christmas flavours of orange, cinnamon and cranberries. Yes, yes and yum. But since winter pretty much goes on forever when you live in Calgary and Iâve been craving … [Read more…]
Happy Birthday to my momma! This cheesecake is an ode to her since she’s a lover of all things lemon! Unfortunately she’s in Chicago and I’m in Calgary (sad face), but next time I see her, this is what I’m making cuz it’s gooooood! And the best part? It’s naturally sweetened, full of mood-boosting omega-3s … [Read more…]
How tasty is cornbread?! Sweet and yet savoury, comforting on so many levels, dense and moist. Yum. How bad is it for you though? Well…that depends. I recently went to a community kitchen workshop and we made cornbread that called for a full cup of butter and a full cup of sugar. I think it only … [Read more…]
My in-laws make the best caesar salad dressing…it’s creamy, garlicky, lemony, and just perfect on that crispy romaine. We make it a lot ourselves in the summer and I wanted to try a vegan version that was similar in taste and texture for people who can’t or choose not to eat eggs, dairy, or anchovies. … [Read more…]
