Tangy Peach & Lime Popsicles for Lazy Summer Afternoons
Here are the facts: it’s August, it’s very hot, it’s very humid, and I think we’re all overdue for a good peach and lime popsicle recipe. I thought about posting a recipe for energy bites (that’ll probably be next) because that seemed very ‘back to school’ but pah! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I…

Summertime Balsamic Zucchini with Tomatoes and Caramelized Red Onions
More summer bounty recipes coming ‘atcha! One of the joys of summer is the availability of fresh, seasonal, local produce. The farmers market overflows with possibilities! The zucchini, the tomatoes, the cucumber, the beans! We know that eating (more, nutrient-dense) vegetables is one of the foundations of vibrant good health (not to mention clear skin…

Crunchy Chickpea Flour Crackers with Onion and Sesame Seeds
There is a reason I included chickpea flour as one of my ‘extra choice’ items for my April clean eating challenge – these crackers are that reason. These crackers, and all of the other awesome stuff you can make from chickpea flour, like socca, chocolate chip cookies, and vegan french toast. Chickpea flour is underestimated and…

Radiant Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric and Ginger Tea
“Yellow is the ‘lightest’ of all of the warm-spectrum colors and the color which most resembles the sun. It brings with it hope, and the feeling that everything will be all right. It has an air of radiance, brightness, cheerfulness, and gaiety. Yellow is open-minded and inspiring; it glows and illuminates, and at is most…

Chewy One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies (with Chickpea Flour) – v, gf
So who here thinks chickpea flour tastes gross? Show of hands. That’s quite a few of you, but I’m betting it’s from when you tried some adventurous gluten-free chickpea flour recipe and tasted the batter and thought, dear god, what monster have I created? Chickpea flour – un-baked – is kind of bitter. It does…

Back to School Cocoa Granola with Buckwheat and Cocoa Nibs – v, gf
Friends, I’m going back to school! Part-time, anyways. I’ve finally decided that now is the time, and I’ve enrolled at CSNN London to obtain my Registered Holistic Nutritionist designation. I’ve wanted to do this for years and I didn’t want to waste any more time – so now I’ll be working full-time and taking classes on…

Summer Strawberry Sherbet with Lemon Zest – v, gf
Strawberry season is upon us! The Farmer’s Market has row upon row of beautiful red strawberries, and given that we’re in a stretch of hot weather, a frozen dessert seemed really very advisable. I had some awesome sherbet last week from the ice cream shop in my neighbourhood, and inspired by that, I decided strawberry…

Healthy Rhubarb Oat Bars with Crunchy Almond Crumble (v, gf)
It’s rhubarb time! Actually, it’s probably almost past rhubarb time, but never mind that. Truthfully I typically have so much rhubarb in my freezer (that I’ve carefully hoarded from the rhubarb season the year before) that I don’t think I’ve actually ever run out, thereby ensuring that it is ALWAYS rhubarb time. I’ve made fruit…

Vegan Chocolate Maca Macaroons (gluten-free)
Sometimes I write posts about a recipe before I’ve actually tested the recipe. It’s true. I admit it. It’s risky, because sometimes it means I’ll test something, realize it’s not nearly as good as I’d hoped, and then remember I have an entire post already written that waxes eloquent about how delicious it is. On the other…
