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? I feel like this month is crazy for everyone, no matter what. It's the Holidays, it's full-on winter which means everything takes a little longer (especially … Continue reading Raw chai spiced coconut bars
You might have noticed I've taken a little break from food blogging over the last few weeks. I only have two months left with Luna before I go back to work and I really want to savour every minute of it, which means that recipe creation, testing, photography and blogging have taken a backseat; and … Continue reading Hasselback butternut squash
I don't know about you guys, but the weekends are my favourite time to cook - because I actually have time. I mean I always cook, often 3 meals a day and often every day of the week. But, what I love about weekends is that Clint wants to spend more time with Luna (as … Continue reading Sweet potato and black bean hash
Did you know that winter is citrus season? It seems strange doesn't it - but I promise you its true. And I for one LOVE citrus season. I mean its perfect timing because it happens to coincide with cold and flu season (thanks Mother Nature) and not only are these gorgeous fruits filled with immune-boosting Vitamin C, … Continue reading Simple seasonal recipes where citrus is the star
Well today I woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground, and then it kept snowing; and about now I'm guessing there's a solid 12-15 inches. Welcome to autumn in Calgary, ugh. I'm all for snow, I am Canadian after all, I don't mind the cold (within reason), but for the love … Continue reading Carrot, apple and ginger soup
I won't call it borscht because it isn't really made like traditional borscht recipes are; but I will say it gives good 'ol borscht a run for its money though! This soup is really good and I love the recipe. Although its a little time consuming, it is still quite simple and so worth it … Continue reading Roasted beet soup
Sorry guys, I'm a day late with this one...I'm trying hard to catch up with as many recipes as possible after my two-week hiatus, but I still have a soon to be 7 month old to look after so it's hard. But if you've been following along on Instagram then you know I have SO … Continue reading Root vegetable salad with parsley vinaigrette
Nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold autumn day. And if you're in Calgary like me, today is the perfect day. I love fall, I truly do - but I do not love this whole super short summer, barely a fall and into the longest winter ever thing that seems to be … Continue reading Corn Chowder with Fennel and Crispy Bacon
It's been awhile but I'm back!!! For anyone that's been following along on Instagram you'll know I was having just a few computer issues. But thankfully I have a new computer and I managed to save most of my photos, all the important ones anyways. I did lose a few hundred food ones, which seems … Continue reading Beet salad with pistachios, goat cheese and an orange vinaigrette
