Let’s have some chocolate, shall we? This Thursday was National Brownie Day, and in the spirit of that celebration, plus the holiday season, I figured a little good-for-you sweet treat was in order. As I’ve said in the past, baking is not really my wheelhouse and as a result, I tend to stick to cooking instead. […]
Last week I posted this DIY 3-ingredient vegan dark chocolate, and juuuuuuust in case you thought, “well that’s delicious, but what if I want to make it look a little more fancy?”, THIS post is for you. With Christmas coming up and a few more treats around, I was in the mood to create something that […]
Lightly spiced, lower in sugar and packed with greens, this vegan-friendly Cinnamon Ginger Pear Smoothie is a perfect fit for fall or winter mornings. Since pears are a lighter-tasting fruit, I recommend using milder greens in this recipe. (You will probably find that curly kale and chard will make it taste a little too green!) […]
Yes, I’ll say it again. 3 ingredient vegan chocolate. Sounds too good to be true, right? Great news, because it’s literally that simple. Chocoholics rejoice, and helloooooooo antioxidants! You may have observed in recent Sunday posts that I’ve been playing with a few sweet treats lately. While I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, […]
Real talk: Last week was a rough one. What specifically was the reason? It was more like a culmination of little things. Working in corporate retail means that we’re currently in the biggest quarter of the year – the one with the largest amount of work, the biggest demands, the highest revenue expectations and the […]
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been eating tons of root veggies, squash and all sorts of lovely fall produce lately. It seems to be around US Thanksgiving that everything on Pinterest switches from being all-pumpkin-all-the-time, to gingerbread and eggnog-flavoured treats. So with that in mind, I wanted to squeak just oooooooone more pumpkin […]
After having realized how easy it was to make these Pumpkin Pie Spice Almond Butter Cups a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t resist going for round 2, only this time, testing a more traditional peanut butter cup. You know how some foods are just really reminiscent of your childhood? Reese’s peanut butter cups were one […]
This summer I went to Boston for a work conference, and as is always the case when I travel to the US, I made a point of taking a trip to Whole Foods. There were two reasons for this. The first was to stock my hotel mini fridge with some healthy eats for the couple […]
Halloween is on Tuesday, so let’s celebrate with a chocolatey treat, shall we? I’ve been testing a LOT of nut-free sweet treats lately – some successful, and some very much not! The reason behind it all is that one of my lunch customers at work has a severe nut allergy, and she can’t eat sunflower […]
Chocolate. Coconut. Can you really go wrong with that combo? I don’t think so. The weather’s cooling off (at least here in Vancouver it is) so these days I’m into the less-fruity, more chocolatey smoothies. I’ve got a post coming up in a couple of weeks about ways to winterize your smoothies, but until then, […]
