Do you work out in the morning?! If so, do you have to eat beforehand!? I can get away with some cardio without eating before, but anything more intense, I need to eat something! If not, I’m getting dizzy, slightly nauseous, and cutting my workout way short. Enter: these amazing protein bars! Just grab one from the … [Read more…]
So here’s my beef with regular beef burgers (see what i did there?!). Other than the fact that the World Health Organization has basically deemed them possibly cancer causing, they are only good when topped with a bunch of sauces, toppings, and a bun. Whether it’s a beef burger, salmon burger, chicken burger…the toppings are what make … [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…]
Hi friends, how’s it going!? We got through January! Yay! It can be a tough month. The down that comes when Christmas ends is real…no more festive parties, no more family gatherings, no more glittering lights. It can be sad! I always get this sense of dread when I remember that winter is not even … [Read more…]
Oh. My. This is good. Tooting my own horn here, but I want everyone to know the deliciousness that is this soup! It’s really for your own good, I don’t want you to miss out! My number one New Years Resolution is to eat more sweet potatoes. I don’t even know why, I think I’ve … [Read more…]
Cheese-less pizza? Am I crazy? You’re all probably thinking that I am, and you might be right, but just try this pizza (flatbread?) and you will understand why I had to post the recipe. It’s just as comforting and flavourful as a cheese topped pizza, and I’d happily eat this every pizza night. We don’t actually … [Read more…]
Any time you’re looking for a dairy-free substitute for cream sauce, béchamel, Alfredo, even adding cream to thicken a soup, use this! It’s so rich and dreamy it’s hard to believe their’s no cream in here whatsoever. This cashew cream sauce was made for my Caramelized Onion and Roasted Mushroom Flatbread, but would also be … [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…]
Your liver is pretty important (aka, essential) for maintaining good health. It is in charge of clearing out all the toxins that we put in our bodies through food and drinks, plus what we ingest through polluted air, water, cleaning products, air fresheners, makeup and lotions, etc… That’s a lot of possible toxins going … [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…]
