Oh hey, thanks for stopping by! I want to talk about two things today: Jesus, and Mango. Wait, wait, before you get all uncomfortable and squirmy I want to say first off that I’m not planning to get apocalyptic on you and use my blog as a platform to be preachy or judgy. Although… I may

Maca Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles
I would love to say that I’m always sticking to my plan for the blog, but often I end up creating something spur of the moment and frankly, that really seems to be the time when the most magic happens! Not to say I don’t like having a blog plan – I do try to stick

Rich & Creamy Chocolate Chia Avocado Smoothie
Happy Valentine’s Day! Ah, the day of love (not that every day shouldn’t be a day of love…), but today, is especially a day to squeeze your better half, babies, or fur babies, extra tight – or really whoever in your life makes your heart warm. It also seems to be a special day that

30 Minute Meal // Roasted Vegetable Balsamic & Arugula Pizza (Grain & Dairy Free)
It’s not delivery… it’s not delissio… it’s a delicious, homemade, no-nonsense, healthy (allergen friendly) PIZZA! Every now and then I crave pizza like nobody’s business and I’ve been on a mission to find a dairy-free pizza that actually tastes good. I hate to say it, but every single dairy free “cheese” I’ve tried is… ehhhh… yeah, not to my liking.

Slow Cooker Thai Green Cashew Chicken Curry (Vegetarian Option)
The other weekend when my friend Brooke and I took a trip to Vancouver for a wellness conference we made sure to set aside a couple extra days to relax and hang out in such a beautiful city! We decided to spend our Sunday perusing around the Granville Island Public Market and I was in my
