Oh how I love freshly made granola! It's just perfect on its own, with my favourite almond milk, with non-dairy yogurt, with fruit salad, or, best yet, as a topping for ice cream! I particularly like this recipe because it's super quick and only calls for...
Who doesn't want pizza on a Friday night? Pizza was on my mind, and having a nutrient-dense, gluten-free base became my mission. I've made versions of this before, some with black beans, some with nuts...
On days when we get home late from the studio, nothing beats having dinner "mostly done". It's such a welcoming relief to walk through the door and be greeted by a lovely aroma and not have to frantically try to figure out what to make....
I've been known to enjoy chocolate. Enjoy it so much I experiment with homemade and often raw options. Most raw chocolate recipes rely heavily on coconut oil which is good and good for you; however, it can quickly melt and be messy to eat. Not...
When it comes to my water, I can't help myself. I absolutely have to doctor it up some how. It's a bit of a creative outlet and a fun challenge to figure out new ways to enhance my water. Ultimately, it ensures that I meet...
Do you ever have those days when your body is just craving greens? The last few days, Robb and I have had an unusually strong pull to get our greens (over and above our almost daily green smoothie). Maybe it's because it's spring, and our...

A friend of mine was raving about how delicious wraps made from plantain are, so I just had to give them a try. The recipe she used was a little more complicated than I was prepared for, so, thanks to Dr. Google, I was able...
This was a tough week for many, as when we "sprang forward" with Daylight Savings Time, I believe our bodies simultaneously transitioned to spring mode...
We went to visit Ben on the weekend and dine in the exceptional, student-run restaurant, Bench Mark, located on the Niagara College campus. We shared their beet hummus, which was delicious and gave me an idea for this week's recipe. It's the perfect time of...
Quinoa My favourite way to cook quinoa begins with rinsing it really, really well. If the package says "pre-rinsed", don't believe it. Rinsing well makes all the difference - trust me! I then like to melt a little coconut oil in our cast-iron pan and lightly toast...
One of my favourite things about autumn is the return of fresh, crisp apples! A popular treat at our house is apple crisp. We love how fragrant apple crisp makes the house smell - warm and welcoming. I wanted to experiment with baking apples, but wasn't interested...
