Good morning! This weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving, which seems strange to me after the weekend madness, but I am just happy that I am not the one preparing the entire meal this time. ;) I have been thinking of something that I could bring for my in-laws that would make a fun Thanksgiving hostess […]

Good morning! Thanks so much for your awesome comments yesterday…you guys have me so excited about this whole process. I will try my best to do some update posts here and there during the process. Now onto the most important thing of the day: chocolate. They say PMS will do crazy things to a girl. […]

Good morning! No one wanted to get out of bed this morning…especially Sketchie! We woke up to quite the snow storm. I was feeling a bit congested this morning, so I came down to the kitchen and made myself a delicious Classic Green Monster amped up with a 1/2 cup of frozen organic blueberries (that […]

Last June, my blog buddy Ashley came for a visit! It was our first time meeting ‘in real life’. I was nervous and basically had hot flashes anticipating her arrival. Luckily, we hit it off.  :) We bonded over foodie gifts.. Oatmeal. [That would be my favourite VOO –> Cherry Chocolate Bomb Vegan Overnight Oats] […]

On Tuesday, Eric said the Enchiladas with Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce would be the best recipe all week. Today, I politely disagree. :) (And I secretly thought he would be right!)  After making this recipe yesterday, I announced it was the best recipe of the week. Eric rolled his eyes. He just doesn’t ‘get’ nut […]

I’ve always loved teaching. When I was a young girl, I used to play school with my stuffed animals and any friends that I could trick into being a student in my class. I made an Attendance List (the students didn’t always show up on time!) and I taught math, writing, art, and deep life […]

I can’t stop making fruit butter…help! This time, I adapted my go-to pumpkin butter recipe and added cocoa powder and pure maple syrup to create a lovely chocolate flavour. It’s a fun change if you are getting bored of plain pumpkin butter (not that that would ever happen). ;) [print_this] Chocolate Pumpkin Butter Because we […]

Before we left for our trip, I found myself with a couple pints of blueberries and a few spotted bananas to use up. I’ve been meaning to make my strawberry chia seed jam for a while now, so I ended up adapting my recipe using blueberries, all-natural sweetener, and a touch of vanilla. It turned […]

Between adding peanut butter in smoothies, spreading it on veggies and apples, and of course, baking with it, I can go through a lot of peanut butter in a month. Oh, and I like to eat it with a spoon sometimes too! I recently started to make my own peanut butter to save a bit […]

If you’ve been reading this blog for a year or longer, you may know that I’m head over heels for Homemade Pumpkin Butter. Not only is it one of the most popular recipes on the blog, but it’s also a personal favourite. I eagerly make several batches every fall and winter (umm, and apparently during […]
