Remember when I said my new years resolution was to eat more sweet potatoes in my post for Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Soup ?! And I wasn’t sure why, I just felt like my body needed it. I’m thinking this whole listen to your body and eat accordingly thing is legit, because I recently went to … [Read more…]
The Crossroads Farmers Market in Calgary has this little Mexican food booth with the most amazing dips and salsas. There’s such a variety too! I’m talking coconut salsa, corn salsa, super freaking hot ones, and my absolute favourite, the cilantro salsa. It’s more of a cilantro sauce, with a smooth and creamy texture. I get … [Read more…]
Morning Sunshines! Need a little pick me up?! Some spice in your life? Some comforting cinnamon spice? I’ve got just the thing! This super easy Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl came from a desire to use up some leftover quinoa in the fridge.

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.

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!

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…]
