Good afternoon!
Glad you all liked my homemade raw almond butter this morning!
Crap Free Week: Day 6
I had a Green Monster to-go this morning as we rushed out the door!
Detoxifying contents:
- 3 organic kale leaves
- 1 cup Almond Breeze in Original
- 1 Tbsp flax
For a mid-morning snack around 11am, I had a couple handfuls of Amy’s Organic Crackers in Herb. So so good.
Lunch was a delicious Spelt veggie wrap!
In the skillet:
- 2 slices Tofurkey sliced up
- 1/2 cup tomato
- 3 handfuls baby organic spinach
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- sprinkle of organic pesto
- handful of cooked chickpeas
- Couple squirts of Kraft Light Balsamic Vinagrette
Directions: Place all ingredients in a skillet and cook over medium heat for about 10 mins. Heat wrap in a different skillet for about 30 seconds. Then place all veggies in the centre of the wrap. Fold quickly and ‘pinch at centre’. This step is very difficult and my wrap broke in a couple places, but I managed to keep it together. With a flat kitchen utensil slide underneath and quickly flip over. Cook for an additional 30 seconds and transfer onto a plate.
So delicious!
For dessert I had a mood-boosting banana with some of my homemade almond butter:
The almond butter was great!! It was a bit hard after being in the fridge so I am wondering if I can keep it at room temperature in an air sealed container. Anyone know?

Glo Bakery
I have received a couple questions about my Glo Bakery and how to go about registering a business.
I have submitted an application for incorporation of Glo Bakery. Prior to this I conducted a preliminary name search and then submitted a formal NUANS report. The NUANS report approves your corporation name and let’s you know if it is already taken. Luckily Glo Bakery wasn’t, but I suspected that it wasn’t since I did some research on the internet prior to creating the website.
After the NUANS approval, I filled out the formal application called the ‘Named Articles of Incorporation’ FEDERAL application. This means that I will be incorporated throughout Canada and not just my province.
My application is still pending, and I won’t be selling any goods until Glo Bakery is incorporated. I hope you will be patient with me throughout this process!
In the meantime, I will be updating the bakery webpage and adding new products. My Brother in law’s girlfriend is a FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER (!!!!!) and she has offered to help me with the photography on the website! Who hoo! :D Stay tuned….

I’ve played this before, but I really loved this slideshow of quotes :) Enjoy….
Lunch looks YUMMY! I love your travel mug!
All your meals look wonderful! I love Green Monsters now! I’m glad you inspired me to try the green stuff, it is so energizing!
Hi Angela,
I’m so glad the almond butter worked out for you!
And jealous that you didn’t need to add extra oil! You must have a better processor than I have!
Mine got too hard to mix, as I mentioned before.
You’ll get addicted, trust me. The possibilities are endless. I’ve also done cashew butter, which is wonderful. And macademia butter would be very decadent….
I always refrigerate my nut butters, by the way. It never gets hard, but maybe it’s because I add the oil! lol I’ll have to try again without it — maybe using less almonds???
Your wrap looks superb! I got so excited when I saw how easy it was to make almond butter. I’m going to try it today! Thanks Angela
Congrats on day 6 of cfw!
I love the wrap…looks delish!
Your wrap looks great! And I want to try the homemade AB…you’re so clever.
Thanks for the info on the business – I’ve always wondered about starting my own business. Lots of things to work out, but it will be worth it once it’s done. Can’t wait to see the new “food photography”!
Kaneil, balanceisbest
The wrap looks delicious! That is so exciting about the Glo bakery!
Woah that’s one green monster!
the almond butter i buy says to refriderate after opening, so i would recommend you refrigerate…
lunch looked very yummy!
I’m sure it would be fine if kept at room temperature!
I had almost the same wrap for dinner tonight! :)
I love the skilleting of the wrap. Just wondering I’ve been on the Glo Bakery website and there are no prices for the products, will you be posting those soon. I understand shipping will vary, but is there a standard unit cost for each product?
thanks!
“If you want to be happy, be.” What a great quote!
yummy day – I need to make a green smoothie soon. i just want it to be warmer!
