We are officially hitting the road for our summer holiday today and I couldn’t be more excited! Summer is definitely my favourite season of the year for many reasons. It’s the sunshine, hot weather, bare feet in the grass, beach days, cold treats, and of course, road trips! Every summer we take at least a…
Dairy-Free Watermelon Ice Cream No Machine Needed!
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. Of course there’s the odd duck who doesn’t like watermelon (seriously?) but for the most part it’s a big crowd-pleaser and…
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 Aloha Chicken Burgers
How is it that two weeks at home can draaaaag by and two weeks in paradise is gone in a blink? Our Maui trip was absolutely amazing but went by way too fast. I could easily still be relaxing on the beach with my little nugget, sipping a mai tai, and taking in the stunning…

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…
Watermelon Turmeric Lemonade Slushies
Ah, and just like that our Summer holiday has come to an end. We had an amazing time as a family spending quality time together (quality time is totally my love language so this was especially wonderful for me!), sleeping in, visiting wineries, relaxing by the pool and checking out the beautiful Okanagan area. As…
Avocado & Spiced Hummus Sandwich
We’ve been thoroughly enjoying our time away for Summer holidays. If you didn’t see my note on my Instagram stories, I’ve been taking a complete social media “vacation” while away, which is why you may have noticed it’s been crickets over on my Facebook and Instagram. Justin and I even deleted the apps off of…
