Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t grow up eating taco salad? It wasn’t until my husband introduced me to this delicacy that I started making it ALL. THE. TIME. Seriously….I feel like I lost so many years of deliciousness. Oh well. To be perfectly honest though, my first bowls of…
Zola’s Green Smoothie
I’m not Irish. Neither are most people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. But hey, any reason to throw a party AMIRIGHT?! When I first met my husband, Jared, I knew how fun HE was, but I didn’t realize just how much fun he and all his friends were. I came in as an outsider, was…
Apple Cinnamon Buckwheat Pancakes
When I was pregnat with my second daughter, Veda, I failed the glucose tolerance test miserably. What did that mean? I had full fledged Gestational Diabetes. UGH. I was not only shocked (I have none of the markers!) but I became utterly stressed and confused. I had no clue what I was going to eat. I…
Salted Caramel Chocolates
I have never really bought into the whole “Valentine’s Day” thing. I just don’t really like being told that I need to show love on a specific day because we should be showing our loved ones love every damn day! Ok, I never like being told what to do, period, but you get my point….
Matcha Latte
Most mornings come way to early for this mama. I have always been someone who prioritizes sleep. For my 27th birthday, we had a dance party in my house. It was EPIC. We had a friend DJ, we had a smoke machine, and, best yet, it was 80’s themed. Well, we danced our hearts out…
Creamy Mushroom Soup (Dairy Free)
If you are anything like me, then you probably grew up coming home after school, STARVING, and cracking open a can of cream of mushroom soup. The part that you probably didn’t do is sit down in front of the T.V. with that soup and watch Martha Stewart – but hey – to each their…
Cilantro Hemp Pesto
There is always room in my life for more sauces, dips and spreads. Seriously. I just love to have a long list of sauces to refer to. It keeps things fresh and tasty and not boring. Because you know what? I get bored of food. *GASP* It’s true. I get super excited about something and…
Healthy 4-Ingredient Chocolate Sauce
You know that feeling you get when you want dessert and you want it NOW? Yeah, I know you do. Sometimes, we just want something sweet after a meal! To be honest, we don’t do dessert a lot around our house, and a lot of the time when we do it is on a whim….
Easy Breakfast Cookies
I hate mornings. Yep. I said it. What I do love are quiet, slow mornings where I can not talk to anyone or do much when I wake. Well, that dream died the second I gave birth to my first daughter almost 5 years ago. Now, mornings are filled with so much talking and questions…
Creamy Curry Lentil Soup
I know I’m not the only one who feels like winter draaaags on. Once January hits I feel like we deserve summer. Right? We have already had two long months of winter…I am ready for the sun! Sadly, this just isn’t the reality for us (completely crazy) Canadians. We still have 3-4 months of this…
