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 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
I will be honest and say the when I first had chia pudding I did not love it; I didn't really like it at all. 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! So, why get store-bought ones when you can use the beautiful fresh bounty of beets this time of year. I'm a big … Continue reading Oven roasted beet chips

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

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 love tomatoes (except on burgers and pizza - that's not cool), I love them on their own with salt and pepper, I love old school ghetto … Continue reading Roasted tomatoes with whipped feta and fresh herbs
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. It's $11.65 for whatever you want. In Calgary where even the most basic of meals are … Continue reading Blaze Pizza on 4th
I'm excited about this post because I've wanted to try dehydrating food forever. I've made the odd fruit rollup before in the oven, but I've never really put a lot of effort into it until I bought my Nesco Dehydrator a few months back. I remember my mom having one as a kid and have wanted one … Continue reading Mango snacks
