I love cherries, I mean who doesn't love cherries? And it's cherry season in BC and I couldn't be happier. But I always eat cherries fresh, just the way they are. I've never really been a big fan of cooked cherries, couldn't get into cherry pie, or cherry sauce - you know like the kind … Continue reading Cherry coconut oat bars
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? So we like to eat a lot of dips and salsas and such during the summer months. They're great, because they're quick to put … Continue reading Roasted beet & orange hummus
Having a new baby and breastfeeding means I need to eat, like all the time.

So … Continue reading Oven roasted banana chips
Ok, so I'm not vegan, I'm not even vegetarian. I'm just more conscious of things now then I was before. So we try to eat vegetarian in our house at least 3 times a week, eat more fish and less red meat, pork and poultry. So far, I find that part to be pretty easy. … Continue reading Vegan almond salted caramels
Summer time is for sunshine and frozen treats. At least that’s one of the things I remember from when I was a kid. It seemed when school ended my parents were a little more lenient when it came to treats. Freezies, popsicles and ice cream became stables in our summer diet. Don’t worry, we counteracted … Continue reading Pineapple, coconut & mint popsicles
Sometime last year I went to Ten Foot Henry for the first time to have a few snacks with my girlfriend and we both immediately chose the tomato dish.

I've read the few reviews that are out there for Blaze Pizza and I have to say I mostly disagree. Now it's not the best pizza I've ever had, but for the price - you really can't beat it.
