Summertime is the perfect time for easy, light and refreshing recipes, because who wants to sit in the kitchen over a hot stove for hours when it's 25 degrees outside, right?

I'm a day late on my post for YYC Growers, sorry guys! It was Clint's first Father's Day and I was busting my ass to make it special. And since I had Luna, my time management skills are simply not as good as they were before. Excuses aside - I did have the recipe written, … Continue reading Pink grapefruit, cucumber & basil lemonade
I think that May and June are two of my favourite months a year, when the weather is cooperating of course. I love that the air smells fresh, the sun is shining, and there are so many beautiful flowers blooming; like lilacs. I have a few lilac recipes that I've been meaning to nail down, … Continue reading Blackberry lilac chia pudding

But the best part about lilacs - they are edible and have an aromatic almost citrus-like flavour to them. Be careful though, don't … Continue reading Lilac infused syrup
This summer heat has got me dreaming up slushy cocktail recipes, because it's either that or a slurpee everyday. I'm from Winnipeg, so it's totally normal to drink a slurpee everyday.

Especially bathing suits; … Continue reading My favourite bathing suits

That being said, the more play around, the more I seem to like - most things that I used to dislike; this list includes: eggplant, zucchini, sweet potato, squash of any sort, beets...yeah I know … Continue reading Miso roasted eggplant with sautéed mushrooms
Having a new baby and breastfeeding means I need to eat, like all the time. So I've been looking to create some easy healthy go to snack recipes to ensure I'm actually getting a few nutrients here and there instead of shoving whatever happens to be lingering in my pantry down my throat because I'm about … Continue reading Raw lemon coconut chia bars
Summer is upon us, not officially for a few weeks but Mother Nature decided to skip spring and head straight to hot days and warm nights; and really who's complaining? Not me, that's for sure! It's perfect timing for this lovely recipe - carrot, apple and ginger coleslaw. Three things that go so well … Continue reading Carrot, apple, ginger coleslaw
I'm so excited to share this recipe with you guys. I actually used to have it an old blog I used to run called 365 Days of Salad and it was very popular. Sadly at the time I was running that blog, time was a thing I didn't have. I was working part-time, running a … Continue reading Pear, beet & feta salad
