Simple, Nutritious Gluten Free & Dairy Free Recipes
How is it Wednesday already?! Geez, these summer days are just-a-flyin’ by! We’ve been busy, busy, busy with things so far this summer and I’ve also been trying to keep my eating on track as we are heading down to Seattle for a vacation in August, and well, I want to be in good bikini
I just had the best 4 days in a row off work! It was wonderful – I went with my hubby to his 10 year high-school reunion (we are gettin’ old!!), visited with the in-laws, golfed, baked in the sun at a local pool, and watched the fireworks for Canada Day! 4 day weekends are
So, we got a kitten. Yes, we already have a cat, Layla – she’s our baby, but my sister who lives out on an acreage, saved a cat who had a litter of kittens and she conned us into taking one home… totally against our will 😉 😉 Her name is Pip.. for Pipsqueak, and
Something about summer always gives me a hankering for tacos! Fish tacos, chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, and vegan tacos (thanks Deryn ;))! Every now and then our local Save-On-Foods gets Ahi Tuna, and I definitely have to splurge and go for it. Fish like this sure isn’t cheap in the middle of the prairies, and it
I’ve been getting tons of traffic on this post lately. Maybe it’s because it’s summer and people are looking for healthy treats that seem indulgent… or it could be that Udi’s Gluten Free recently shared it on twitter! (Thanks Udi’s!!) Either way, people are loving it, and that makes me very happy! So, I thought, why not
It has been UBER beautiful here in E-Town the last week (minus some crazy rain storms!)… summer is HERE – it’s HERE folks… seriously, if you live in Alberta, Canada, you KNOW that when summer is officially here, it is time to pop some bubbly and C.E.L.E.B.R.A.T.E. good times, Come On’!!! I’ve also been busy
Oh Hey! We are getting settled in our new home and taking it all in! Boy, oh boy, I forgot how much of a process moving is, but it’s all worth it in the end. That being said, it’s definitely time to resume focus on “de-stressing”! That’s totally my motto this summer… “rest and rejuvenation”… or learning
I was recently contacted by PRANA foods to share about their great products! This was exciting for me because I was already very familiar with PRANA as I use their products a lot! They carry dried fruits, nuts, seeds, superfoods like Goji, Cocao, Carob, Lucuma, and much more… a whole lovely whack of stuff to
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…. muffins can be dangerous territory. Out and about there’s not many muffins you can find that are truly healthy, most convenience stores, grocery stores, and fast food muffins are similar to donuts when it comes to nutritional quality, so therefore I always recommend you make yo’
Wahhh, I dropped the ball last week. Life has been throwing me a few curveballs lately and I just couldn’t get my shiz together to get a post up. Boo. I can’t promise things will change for this next month because…. We are MOVING! Woot woot! My hubby and I bought a new place and it’s just about
So, after multiple attempts at healthy Cadbury Cream Eggs that resulted in multiple fails, I gave up on that idea! Here’s a pretty successful looking version by the lovely Chocolate Covered Katie! Instead, healthy energy bars. Ha! Easy, literally impossible to fail, and delicious! Peach pie energy bars to be exact!
I have been getting a lot of requests for slow cooker recipes lately – I can see why too! They are easy peasy, make the house smell marvellous, and they are DELICIOUS! What’s not to love?! I can’t take full credit for this recipe however, as it was inspired by my lovely receptionist Patty! She
Last week the hubby and I took off to LA for a little week away! It was fantastic, but went by way too quickly! Oh vacations, why do you always seem to be on a totally different time continuum?! It’s like the minutes go by twice as fast I swear! While we were away we

Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday? Seriously… what is it about Leonardo Dicaprio that’s just sooooo…intriguing?! It’s OK, even the Hubby has a “man-crush” on him. Poor guy though, always a bridesmaid, never a bride! So, I spent my Sunday night curled up on the couch drooling over Leo… AND over this delicious chili
Someone come to my house and take these bliss balls away from me! Seriously, they are SO yummy!!! What’s better than dark, delicious, antioxidant rich chocolate, coating a delicious ball of coconut, cashews, fresh strawberries, and sweet vanilla agave?! Nothing. That’s what. ….nuuuuthin’! New World Foods makes these magical little delights called “Bliss Balls” which

If you’ve been following Nutritionist in the Kitch for a while, you’ll already know I love my oats for breakfast. I’ve recently switched it up to Kinnikinnik gluten free bread, smothered in peanut butter and warmed berries, but I know eventually, I’ll go back to my trusty oats. I tend to eat the same thing
Mmmm macaroons! Not to be confused with “macarons”, which are equally as delicious, but I’m not sure you can actually make those little delights healthy… I’ll look into that one! Who knew you could pack some extra protein into a delicious little coconut macaroon?! Yes, it’s possible, and my, oh my, it’s yummy! This little
Along with my cookie obsession as of late, I’ve been alllll over the slow cooker! My most recent recipes Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken Curry and Slow Cooker Seafood Paella were so darn delicious, I went on a quest in the blogosphere to find more slow cooker inspiration. Then I came across this… This Crock Pot Sesame
What IS juicing? Simply (wikipedia) stated, juicing is the process of extracting juice from plant tissues such as fruits and vegetables. Taking raw fruits and vegetables in their natural, beautiful live state, and juicing them (using a juicer!) keeps the vitamins, minerals and enzymes intact and makes them very easily digested and assimilated by the
So according to some of the fantastic NITK Facebook followers, a cookie obsession is totally OK. Which is good because I’d say I have one! Luckily, my cookie obsession is limited to healthy, delicious, guilt-free cookies! YAY! Not to say I don’t love a good Fudge-O now and then (oh my, when was the last
Eeeeee! Tomorrow is the 1st of December – which officially means Christmas music, Christmas shopping, Christmas baking… and all things Christmas for me.

This weekend was a busy one – I had a lot on my To-Do list, and it all got done (woo hoo!) – including making this lovely recipe for the Hubby on Saturday morning! I’d seen this recipe on Pinterest by Damn Delicious and I knew my Hubby would LOVE it (having Italian in his
Ok, so I’m going to be totally honest here… these are nothing less than amazing. I planned a little visit with a pal of mine, Nicole (and her amazingly cute little babe Kira), and we decided to turn it into a little treat making date! We were talking about different flavors for energy bars/balls/bites
Cookies…gluten free, vegan, healthy, eat-them-for-breakfast-cookies!! What’s not to love?! These cookies are LOADED, hence the name, with healthy goodness! I was inspired by these yummy cookies by Because I Like Chocolate, and packed them with even more than I thought possible! We’ve got GF oats, flaxseed, GF oat bran, banana, natural peanut butter, coconut, raisins,
So this bread was a bit of an afterthought after I had made that delicious Turkey, Sweet Potato, & Kale Chili the other day…. it’s a good thing I have leftovers because THIS bread, and THAT chili = a romance made in flavour heaven! Apples and cheddar just go well together – it’s something about

Can you guess what the secret ingredient to these brownies are? How are they ‘flourless’ … what holds them together? Why… it’s Sweet Potato!! Don’t cringe if you aren’t a sweet potato fan – I promise you can’t even taste the sweet potato one bit, but they sure do lend these brownies a delicious moist
Cinnamon, ginger, and pears! This is a trifecta of awesomeness I’m telling you. Awesomeness. Not only do these 3 flavors on their own just scream “Fall”, they work wonderfully together in these yummy little energy bites and each flavor truly stands out!
