I am not a breakfast person, never have been. I like my coffee in the morning and that's about it. Problem is, it often gets to be 1 or 2 PM and I realize the only thing I've had is coffee; not a great way to start your day, especially when you're a breastfeeding mama. … Continue reading Tahini bliss balls
Happy Monday, hope you are all having an awesome start to your first week in December! Can you freakin believe it's December already? Seriously, where did the time go?

See what I did there, haha. They're cookies that are more like cake - so they're cakies!!! I know I'm a dork, but in fairness it was my dorky fiancé that came up with the name; but it works.

I was not into the texture at all, and any of the ones that I tried had very little flavour. But in the name of eating a healthy breakfast (which … Continue reading Raspberry Vanilla Chia Pudding
Beet chips are delicious - earthy, salty and just the perfect amount of sweetness. They are a great anytime snack, and are perfect dipping chips for hummus or a homemade dill dip - yum!

I don't love bananas, I don't hate them either - I just don't care about them too much. But, every now and then I feel like one - so I buy a bunch and eat one and then the rest tend to make it into the freezer overripe waiting for a banana bread recipe. 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
