It’s been awhile since I’ve made a new granola bar recipe, mostly because I always make my Peanut Butter Protein Bars cuz they’re just so tasty! 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…]
Ya know when New Year’s comes along, and you’ve got all these intentions to eat healthy in January? And then…you realize it’s still really cold and salad just doesn’t taste all that great and what you really want is anything hot? And then February comes and you’re like..OK, time to get serious again, but… same … [Read more…]
It’s about that time for another granola recipe!! And I’m kinda kicking myself for not making this sooner, as in, for Christmas, because it’s got those quintessential Christmas flavours of orange, cinnamon and cranberries. Yes, yes and yum.

I told myself … [Read more…]

Moving to Calgary, everyone told me I had to learn to ski to get through the winter. And guess what, I tried. I attempted … [Read more…]
Ahhhh.. lazy weekends. With a baby on the way I am soaking these up like nobody’s business. No alarm, delayed removal from the bed, and making a nice leisurely breakfast, or more like brunch by the time I get around to it. Last weekend I went for sweet with buckwheat banana pancakes; this weekend, I … [Read more…]
Is there really room for another dip for dip season? Of course there is! One can never have too many dips at a party. Especially when you mix it up with a creamy hot spinach, artichoke and white bean dip. And extra especially (that’s a phrase, no?) when it’s actually super healthy! The creaminess of … [Read more…]
Is it Pumpkin goodie time yet or what? I don’t think I can wait any longer! Enter: this Healthy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!
