Buffalo Cauliflower Salad + Vegan Cool Lime Ranch Dressing

Buffalo Cauliflower Salad + Vegan Cool Lime Ranch Dressing

At the moment I have a little  bit of time off before I start work for the summer. That means that I have time to create some fun new recipes and other posts to share here! Yay! I spent my evening last night scrolling through 

On-the-Go Greens Scramble

On-the-Go Greens Scramble

Now a days it’s all about ease and convenience. I can definitely relate. This semester has been a total whirlwind of assignments, midterms, exams, and a little bit of fun too, making it difficult to find spare time to do anything for myself. One commitment 

Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread with Walnuts + Life Updates

Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread with Walnuts + Life Updates

Hi Friends! I Know that it has been quite some time since I last wrote.. I’ve been completely swamped by the workload that accompanies first year university. I have really missed writing and creating, so I decided to take my study break tonight to write up a new (and super YUM) recipe. But first, a little update about my life recently.

Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree

Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree

Not gonna lie, this was a really fun recipe to create. I got to combine three of my fav things: bread, grilled food, and za’atar spice blend! Woo! I’ve made this recipe before using spelt flour (which worked great), but I wanted to try to 

Chocolate Crispy Treats

Chocolate Crispy Treats

I have very fond childhood memories of my older sister, Emma, whipping up a batch of rice crispy squares after school, which we would then devour whilst watching The Ellen Show. Oh, to be 9 years old again.. But seriously, rice crispy squares are a classic treat.

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I work at a bakery, which is pretty ironic considering that I can’t eat 99% of the product that we sell. Lucky for me we do have delicious gluten free and vegan muffins (yay!). Honest to God the vegan muffins that we sell are better than most regular muffins that I’ve had in my lifetime, no joke.  Since I love these muffins so much I decided to have a go at making them at home. In my version I swapped refined sugar for maple syrup and I used a blend of chickpea, almond and buckwheat flour to make it not only gluten free, but grain free as well. The three flour blend gives the muffins a very nice texture, I’m quite pleased with how they turned out. Continue reading Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Cranberry & Apricot “Buttermilk” Scones

Cranberry & Apricot “Buttermilk” Scones

By taking a quick glance out the window it looks as though it’s April out there. Everything is wet, there are only tiny patches of snow remaining and the sky seems to be eternally grey. In case you didn’t know, April is one of my 

Loaded Spirulina Smoothie Bowl

Loaded Spirulina Smoothie Bowl

I’m a big time green smoothie lover and recently I’ve been doing some experimenting with new ingredients. About a month ago I ordered a few specialty health food items that are a little bit difficult to find around where I live. One of those items 

Winter Vegetable Dahl

Winter Vegetable Dahl

As the holiday season winds down, it seems as though cold and flu season is just starting to rev up, for me anyway. I’ve ben waking up to itchy ears, a stuffy nose and a nasty sinus headache. For the last two weeks I’ve been teaching skiing to children under the age of five, which has left me exhausted (I’m partially attributing my oncoming illness to this). I’m also attributing my terrible back pain to the constant lifting and dragging of small children up and down a ski hill. I was at the chiropractor today and his comment was “wow, you’re really stiff”, I would like to call this the understatement of the year.  Continue reading Winter Vegetable Dahl

Welcome Home Mac ‘n “Cheese”

Welcome Home Mac ‘n “Cheese”

Lots of exciting news to share. First thing’s first, this past Friday my big sis left on her big Scottish adventure. Emma is on exchange in Scotland for the next five months. I am hopeful that I will have a chance to head over to the
