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…

Honey Bee Meals

Did anyone else blink and 2017 was over?!? What the?!! Don’t get me wrong I am more than happy to see it in my rearview mirror as it wasn’t exactly full of sunshine and rainbows, but wow….too fast! Now I feel like I’m one of those “old people” that loves talking about how quickly time…

Almond Butter Bites

With Halloween fast approaching every parent is clearly in costume panic mode. Last minute swords, fake blood galore, and the restocking of  the handout candy. Cause that box you hid (out of sight and out of mind) we both know you found yourself visiting each night grabbing one, two, maybe three mini chocolate bars. But…

Pumpkin Pie Bars

Hi! Remember me?!? I’m that gluten free, dairy free, chocolate lovin’ foodie that used to fill your inbox with stories of my childhood and shenanigans. Ring any bells yet?! Yeah? No?! How about that food blogger who hasn’t posted anything in what feels like forever? Ha! Knew that would do it. I’ve been meaning to…

Sweet Potato Tahini Bowl

Rarely do relationships ever end on an amicable note. Most of the time the breakupee doesn’t even know that the breakupper was unhappy, but lately I’ve been stuck in first date land. I swear one of these days i’m going to write a tell all book called SERIOUSLY!!! But this conundrum gave me an idea… what if…

Carrot Cake

Easter was the weekend before last and it’s interesting when you compare the religious “reason for the season” vs. the “chocolate egg laying Bunny”. As children, my sister and I would dress in our Catholic Church best for Sunday mass. We always looked forward to the part where we got to greet and shake our neighbours hand…

Paleo Cashew Granola

Picky eaters… we all know them, love them, hate them, have been one, but I’m pretty sure I took the term to another level growing up. Hats off to my parents for putting up with me, wow, did I ever give them a run for their money. I had a defiant nature about me and I think that’s…

Vegan Cashew Alfredo

Remember a time where instead of spending hours upon hours of gazing at a glowing phone screen, we use to pick them up and hold them to our ear and then call one another?! You know what else I remember… Prank calls!!! And I’m not talking about the classic call and hang up.  Oh no no no, as a…

Paleo Chicken Parm

Eating and first dates, who thought this was a good idea when going face to face with a complete stranger?!? Personally I feel as though my main focus on a date shouldn’t be whether I’m taking dainty bites or look cute while chewing, plus sometimes I end up wearing a good portion of what I’m noshing. Takes me…

Oven Baked Ribs

Who doesn’t love a good road trip, am I right?!? When I was a kid these outings were common because we used to love spending the day in Buffalo for some good ol’ shop ’til you drop therapy. We would all pile into one car, and by “all” I mean me, best friend Trish, her…

Raw Cacao Smoothie

I figured it would be fitting after our chocolate indulged holiday that I address the idea of eating ‘Chocolate for breakfast’. You have likely done it once or twice in the last 5 days…secretly… But for me, no matter how early it is, in my mind, chocolate is always a good idea! Yes, I know this…
