Food Insp: Avocado Toast and Sausage
You can’t go a day on Instagram without seeing someone’s take on the glorious avocado toast. It’s something that comes together in a pinch but feels so much fancier than the effort would otherwise imply. Toppings are endless and you can slice and fan it or mash it. But I highly recommend serving it with […]
Whole Grain Beetroot + Cardamom Pancakes
This was my second year having anything worth calling a garden, but still being the novice and poor planner that I am, we got off to a late start. Add in an unexpected “harvesting” of my first seedlings by some curious paws, I almost threw in the towel. Instead I casually tossed in a few beet seeds […]
Food Inspo: Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
My go-to pancake recipe is the Puffy Pillow Pancakes from PPK. But every now and then I like to mix up the flavors. With left over canned pumpkin, I mixed it in the batter along with traditional pumpkin pie spice. You may need to add a touch more flour if the pumpkin made the batter […]
Food Inspo: Well Rounded Breakfast
I woke up one morning after the holidays craving all the nutrients. I put together a balanced feast of green juice with celery, ginger, green apple, spinach, and mint, a simple tofu scramble, and half a slice of avocado whole grain toast with chili flakes and sprinkling of sesame.
Food Inspo: Acai Bowls
Acai bowls are easy to put together and instantly transport you to tropical lands. You can usually find acai packets in the freezer section of your natural markets, just take out a packet, blend it with a frozen banana to sweet, and maybe a splash of liquid to move it along. You can mix in […]
Granola Bars with Chocolate Drizzle – Vegan and Refined Sugar-Free
It’s that time of year when school is about to be back in session and I’ve portable snacks on the brain. Finding balanced snacks for kids is one of my biggest challenges. Most of the “healthy” snacks still contain refined sugar, even the homemade ones, and we get so much sugar outside of the house, I […]
Food Inspo: Roasted Plum + Hot Buckwheat Cereal
Roasted plum + hot buckwheat cereal served with a drizzle of coconut yogurt, maple syrup, and raw goji cacao bites. A nice change from the typical oatmeal.
Peaches & Cream Oatmeal with Homemade Sweet Almond Milk
It all started early in the morning, frustrated at the state of my refrigerator, I began organizing to make sense of all the unfinished meals and produce coming to their final days. It wasn’t until I made my way to the back of the top shelf that I found a forgotten bowl of soaking almonds […]
Food Inspo: Breakfast Sundaes
Sunday’s family breakfast sundaes – chocolate nicecream with whipped topping, chocolate sauce, salted caramel sauce, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and a cherry on top. Everything was made from nothing but fruit and nuts, and refined sugar-free. A touch of maple syrup in the chocolate sauce is as nefarious as it got and no animals were […]
