The recent cold snap has hit us in Williamsburg, though not so badly as our family in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Indiana (stay warm you guys!). The lower temperature has meant staying indoors more than normal, which calls for some creative play. Enter waffle making! Joe loves to help in the kitchen. I’ve never had him… Read More Banana Blueberry Flaxseed Waffles: Fun Activity, Fun Lunch
This recipe is definitely up there in my top 5 favorite salads: “Avocado, Corn, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad with Lime Dressing”. I can never seem to make enough of this dish. It’s always – poof – gone within 24 hours. Chris will even eat it for breakfast. Why do I like it so much? … Read More Avocado, Corn, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad with Lime Dressing // One of My Faves
I’m still enjoying having access to a full, complete kitchen once again. My cooking and baking senses have gone into overdrive, and Chris and Joe (and lets face it, me as well) are reaping the rewards. This is a photo of two meals that I made recently. The first is the one in the background… Read More Good Eats (and cookie dough that this pregnant woman can safely eat!)
I was packing Joe’s gear for our swim lessons on Monday morning when I realized, “Hmm… there’s nothing here that’s great to take for a snack.” Joe’s lessons are at 9:30am, which is prime morning tea time. I’ve found that if I wait to give him a snack after lessons, he’s grouchy and not as… Read More Oatmeal Applesauce Mini Muffins (egg-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free)
I’ve seen the recipe for chocolate avocado mousse floating around for the last few months. I even considered making it when I was doing my “30 Days, No Processed Sugar” challenge, but the thought of mixing avo + chocolate put me off. Then, I met a friend who made it and I thought, “If she… Read More Chocolate Avocado Mousse? More like Chocolate Avocado Fudge Frosting (and only 3 Ingredients)!
Most people think of scary, terrifying things when they hear the word “monster”. I’m sure that some of you might be a bit surprised to hear that I have my own personal monster, and I actually like it. I’m talking about a green monster, of course. A green monster monster smoothie! In my journey to… Read More My Monster
I’ve heard about overnight oats before. Thought, “Eh, that sounds interesting” and then moved on with my day. I’m not sure what inspired me this time around, but I decided to give them a try. Before Joe, Chris and I had a fairly even split as to who decided what we ate. I did most… Read More Overnight Oats: Vegan Version
I tried a new recipe tonight. And you know what? It was sooooo good. Healthy, too. And yes, it was pizza. And I love pizza. You should try it. It’s pretty easy. And the crust? There’s no grains in there – it’s made from cauliflower. Cauliflower. Check it out. This is what fresh cauliflower looks… Read More Pizza Made From Cauliflower? Yes, Please!
If you’re like me, then you’re often on the lookout for recipes that are filling, nutritious, easy to make, and easy on the pocketbook. Here’s one that satisfies all of those criteria, and it’s a cinch to modify based on taste. It can function as a side dish or, if you’re like us, work as… Read More Lentil Rice Supper
This week’s recipe is a good one – Carrot Raisin Breakfast Cookies. They remind me of a sweet muffin or bread, only in cookie form. And I love muffins and bread! They do have added sweetener, but the sweetener is real maple syrup – something that’s naturally occurring. I’ll admit that they’re a little on… Read More Easy, Naturally Sweet, Homemade: Carrot Raisin Breakfast Cookies
Hey everyone – I hope that you’ve had a great weekend! Joe and I have a few things going on this week. We’re going to a Plunket parenting class where we’ll hopefully meet some other mums and bubs. The menu for the week will be pretty low-key with lots of veggies and healthy options. Here’s… Read More Menu Monday
I haven’t done a Menu Monday in awhile. I was working a crazy schedule prior to our move: I worked, slept, and that was it. I ate once a day, if you can believe that {no, that wasn’t a diet plan – I was too tired to eat and too busy at work to take… Read More Menu Monday
