Cow Crumbs

Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread

I’ve always been a fan of a road trip, but sometimes we hit a few bumps in the road and I have to say one of the most memorable was when me and Mary (my mom, I like to call her Mary) jumped in the car and headed down to Oklahoma. My sister was living out…

Pistachio Squash Soup

We are talking about a window of opportunity here to either seal the deal or your fate. Lucky for me I tend to show well, or at least that’s what my mom tells me, so I’ve always done well during my meet the parents interview. I can only think of one time where my cunning wit…

Quinoa Chicken Nuggets

I can still remember the excitement I would feel as a kid having a friend sleepover, but with adulthood in full swing there’s a different thought process that goes through my mind when I think about this event now, especially if it involves that special someone. 1. Time to look like an adult. Because you…

Apple Nachos

You know those sleeping beauties that you see on airplanes, or waiting in lounges, or even sitting next to you in a movie that are not only asleep, but actually look as though they’re comfortable??? I hate those people, I can barely get in a solid six when I’m in my own bed. My sleepless nights actually…

Nanaimo Bars

There is one thing I like more than Santa around this time of year, and that’s all the tasty treats. They seem to be everywhere for a good 3-4 weeks straight, plus is there any other time of the year when you can eat sweets non stop all day long and NOT feel the judging…

Spring Roll Stir Fry

Everyone LOVES cracking open a fortune cookie at the end of an MSG filled meal, everyone but me that is, stupid gluten filled cookies. But allergies aside, fortune cookies whether they taste good or not use to be my favourite part of ordering in Chinese food. I remember giving each cookie a good long look before picking out just…

Paleo Pumpkin Bread IMPROVED!

It’s crazy to think that “Cow Crumbs” went live in January 2014, that’s almost fours years ago… Do you have any idea how much has happened to me in four years?!? I moved back from the UK, jumped over many health hurdles, went back to school because of said health hurdles, took part in A…

Blender Banana Muffins

The text goes through and then it hits you, you’ve just sent a message to the wrong person. Sheer panic quickly sets in because now how do you make it stop before it gets to where it’s going?!? Thanks to good ol technology taking over communication these days I feel like this probably happens on…

Paleo Tuna Patties

When we’re kids we don’t always make the best decisions, we push the boundaries, make bad choices, stretch the truth, but looking back at my childhood I was actually a pretty good kid, BUT I was also a complete A HOLE from time to time. My mom likes to say that if I had been…

Breakfast Bake

I will be the first to admit that when it comes to being coordinated I lack that “je ne sais quoi”, for some reason or another walking always tends to be a bit of challenge. I’ve actually lost track of the amount of times I’ve “bit it”, and most of these instances I was just…

Perfect Pancakes

The other day I was listening to the radio and they were talking about what your younger self would be shocked to know about you now? Ha! Where should I begin?! For instance my younger self used to be able to whoop it up two days in a row no problem. Now, I need…

Brussel Broccoli Bowl

First impressions are always something that most of us worry about. That nerve-racking job interview, first day of school, but you know which one I love… introducing someone I’m dating to my friends. Boys always seem to sweat the meet and greet with the parents, but if the friends give you a thumbs down then…
