This watermelon ice cream recipe was first posted in 2014 and has since been revamped and rephotographed for relevance and quality! It’s general consensus that the all-time-favourite summer food for most people is watermelon.

Healthier Ice Cream Sandwiches
Thursday was the first “official” day of summer but I honestly feel like we’ve been enjoying summer goodness for at least a month and a half now. Isn’t it the best when summer comes early?! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I was born in the wrong climate. I’m a sunshine-loving, sandy…
Healthy Almond Pistachio Frozen Yogurt // Dairy Free
Dairy Free Frozen Yogurt… Yes Please! Several years ago a little frozen yogurt shop opened up close to our home. Surprisingly enough, this was a bit new for our city, so I had to check it out and I’ll admit, I developed a bit of an obsession. I was really hooked, I mean who doesn’t like…

It’s no fail that at least once every Summer, I eat my weight in fresh cherries. It’s just bound to happen…when these delicious, juicy, sweet, little red fruits come in season, there ain’t no stopping me.

5-Ingredient Vegan PB & J Ice Cream Popsicles
peanut butter… it’s a long time fave of mine. Even with all of the other nut and seed butters around in the stores now …almond, cashew, almond cashew, hazelnut, coconut almond cashew, pumpkin, and sunflower… I think I would still say that plain old reliable peanut butter is my winner. It just has a…
NITK’s FAVE COOL SUMMER TREATS
I love Summer. The other evening I was driving home from work… windows down, an awesome 8-tracks playlist on, hand out the window… face out the window (well, as much as I can get it without being a dangerous driver anyways!), sun shining down on me, smell of fired up BBQ’s and a little bit…
Healthy Dairy Free S’more Ice Cream + My First Vid!
I’ve been Summer dreaming a lot lately. I know, it’s only April, and Summer truly doesn’t make its way to YEG until the end of JUNE… seriously… but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t dream!
