I hope everyone who was celebrating in the US enjoyed a wonderful, spectacular, lovely Thanksgiving! Now that Thanksgiving is over for all of us, it’s time to really focus on Christmas! Right? Right! One of my favourite Christmas flavours is gingerbread. There’s something about the mixture of sweet, spicy, and a little savoury that I

Mocha Nut Smoothie Bowl // Build A Better Smoothie
Happy Sunday! Are you all getting into the groove of September and back into your post-summer routine? I’m slowly getting there, although I really like to stretch summer out as far as I can! This past week we had a stretch of hot weather so it was the perfect time to make a

Easy Egg Muffins
This recipe was originally posted in August 2012 and has been revamped and rephotographed for quality and relevance! I have to admit, I’m a massive egg fan. Eggs are my staple go-to for breakfast as I find them filling, enjoyable, and I love savoury breakfast options once in a while! When it comes to eggs I

Easy Goji Berry & Hemp Acai Bowls
The other weekend my lovely in-laws (sister and mom) came to visit and we celebrated both mine and my sis-in-law’s birthdays! I love it when I can get together with family and we can all enjoy each others company. My mom-in-law has a gluten intolerance so we always try to pre-plan some yummy meals and

Cinnamon Spiced Paleo Pancakes with Mandarin Orange Compote & Pistachios
A couple times a month, if not more, I will wake up on Saturday morning and instantly think of pancakes. I don’t know what it is about this breakfast, but Saturdays just scream pancakes to me. They can be a little bit of a labour of love as they take a bit more time than my normal

Protein-Packed Hemp & Maple Pecan Oatmeal
The other day I found myself in Bulk Barn. If any of you don’t know what Bulk Barn is I’ll tell you…it’s a dangerous place. There are literally bins, and bins, and bins of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, grains, flours, candy, a heck of a lot of candy, chocolate, powders, potions, elixirs (ok, maybe not

Rich Cocoa Chia Smoothie Bowl
Just because it’s Fall doesn’t mean smoothie season is over all of a sudden, does it? While I’ll admit that I am less likely to whip up a fresh berry smoothie in the cooler months, I still love a good smoothie that’s maybe, let’s say, a little richer, deeper, and robust in flavour! Ha, I
