Lately I can’t seem to get enough zucchini, raw with hummus, spiralized into pasta, sautéed with coconut oil. Ooooo that last one is good one. But the one thing I’ve never tried my hand at is zucchini bread. If I’m being perfectly honest the idea has never really appealed to me. Zucchini… in bread… sounds…

Apricots, don’t leave home without them
I have this thing that I do on a nightly basis, after dinner no matter how full I am I have to have a treat, it’s the fat kid in me. That being said a very wise friend of mine once explained that dessert has a completely separate compartment in your stomach so there will…
Salmon Salad with Roasted Fennel, Peas & Asparagus
When I was younger eating fish was on par with eating liver and onions. Sorry for all you liver lovers out there but ewwww grossy. Lucky for me, in my old age I have learnt to love Nemo & Friends and it is now a part of my weekly meal rotation. I would still rather eat dirt…
Bedazzled Banana Bread
Remember when you were a kid and after school you would get home and your house smelt like the Pillsbury dough boy was just there? I always loved those days, especially when the scary looking bananas that were on the counter that morning were now gone. Because nothing makes a better after school snack then scary…
Yo Quiero Taco Salad
Do you ever stop and wonder where a craving comes from? Yes I know they say that if you crave chocolate you need magnesium, or if you crave salt you could be deficient in chloride or silicon, but what about if you crave something south of the border??? I remember back in my Sheridan College days…
Lettuce… so much more than just salad
I find I tend to be a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to the way I eat, and to be perfectly honest I think it’s a trait I’ve inherited from my father. My dad tends to go on these food kicks and eat the same thing day in and day out,…
Trifle… better than birthday cake
Today I want to dedicate this post to my mom, not only because I love her more than chocolate (and I really LOVE chocolate) but because yesterday was her birthday and I would not be the woman I am today without her. Mom I love you because even on my weakest day you are my…
Cuckoo for Cacao Crunch
I know, I know I have been a horrible blogger lately but I have an excuse; my life has been consumed by school, who knew that Anatomy was going to be a giant pain in my ass, or should I say gluteal. But enough about school, I have a little game I want you all to…
Fish and chips Makeover
You know how certain flavors can take you back to a food memory. For me fish and chips takes me back to a place filled with tartar sauce, tangy coleslaw, crispy French fries and fish galore. You could almost cut the smell of grease in the air with a knife. The booths had the old school flip…
Parsley Pesto Pasta Party
Say that three times fast… As much as I would love to take credit for this bomb ass creation, I need to give credit where credit is due. When I first started out on this joyous journey of health and letting go of pizza buns and beefaroni sandwich (yes I use to eat beefaroni sandwiches)…
Raspberry is the NEW Chocolate
When it comes to indulging or allowing myself a treat I NEED chocolate to be in the mix some way or another. A few years back my sister and I decided to pack up and ship out, we did our very own version of the amazing race only there was no cash prize in the end,…
Hummus… it’s a Smooth Criminal
Olive Oil, sesame seeds and maple syrup, exactly what I needed… More things that I can’t eat. Sometimes I want to punch Aunt Jemima right in the face. Stupid Maple Syrup… No wonder she’s smiling, she can still eat the stuff. For some odd reason I seem to be having a reaction to all of…
