Warm Taco Salad

Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t grow up eating taco salad? It wasn’t until my husband introduced me to this delicacy that I started making it ALL. THE. TIME. Seriously….I feel like I lost so many years of deliciousness. Oh well.  To be perfectly honest though, my first bowls of taco salad were build upon a mountain of doritos. Pretty standard fare in the land of taco salad. However, as I have always had a desire to try and make things tasty and more health supportive, this dish slowly started to morph. The first change was that I started using actual corn chips. BYE BYE ..read more

I’m not Irish. Neither are most people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. But hey, any reason to throw a party AMIRIGHT?!  When I first met my husband, Jared, I knew how fun HE was, but I didn’t realize just how much fun he and all his friends were. I came in as an outsider, was completely embraced, and soon started taking part in some pretty fun parties. Saint Patrick’s day was often accompanied by a hot tub rental, loud music, green adult beverages, and so. much. fun. Ahhh…the good old days. Now I make green smoothies and go to bed early. #adulting  After we got married, we carried ..read more

When I was pregnat with my second daughter, Veda, I failed the glucose tolerance test miserably. What did that mean? I had full fledged Gestational Diabetes. UGH. I was not only shocked (I have none of the markers!) but I became utterly stressed and confused. I had no clue what I was going to eat. I even had to go on stress leave because I became obsessed with my blood sugar numbers and it was really wearing on me emotionally. Thankfully, I had an incredibly supportive midwife who allowed me to monitor myself and fully trusted in my approach to deal with it from a food perspective.  ..read more

I have never really bought into the whole “Valentine’s Day” thing. I just don’t really like being told that I need to show love on a specific day because we should be showing our loved ones love every damn day! Ok, I never like being told what to do, period, but you get my point. Anyhow, the one thing I can get behind is CHOCOLATE. But I’m not talking about the nasty tin foil wrapped stuff that you get at this time of year. I’m talking about homemade, delicious chocolate. YUM. These chocolates look so professional! Like, they are legit! But seriously guys, they are SO easy, this barely counts ..read more

Most mornings come way to early for this mama. I have always been someone who prioritizes sleep. For my 27th birthday, we had a dance party in my house. It was EPIC. We had a friend DJ, we had a smoke machine, and, best yet, it was 80’s themed. Well, we danced our hearts out until I shut the party down at 11pm. And this was BEFORE I had kids. So yeah, sleep and I are kind of best friends.  Even with all that sleep, I still hate the morning. I wake up groggy, and usually want to just lay down and slowly wake up. With kids, this is no longer an option. My 4 year old turns my light on i ..read more

Creamy Mushroom Soup (Dairy Free)

If you are anything like me, then you probably grew up coming home after school, STARVING, and cracking open a can of cream of mushroom soup. The part that you probably didn’t do is sit down in front of the T.V. with that soup and watch Martha Stewart – but hey – to each their own. I have fond memories of the texture and taste of that creamy soup, but I no longer buy canned soups because of the laundry list of ingredients they contain. I prefer to make my own soup from scratch, at home, because not only does it taste SO much better, but I know exactly what goes into it! No fillers, no MSG. Jus ..read more

There is always room in my life for more sauces, dips and spreads. Seriously. I just love to have a long list of sauces to refer to. It keeps things fresh and tasty and not boring. Because you know what? I get bored of food. *GASP* It’s true. I get super excited about something and eat it for what feels like forever and then BAM….I’m totally over it. This pesto though…is so delicious and versatile…its kind of like a gift that keeps on giving.  I have made this pesto a few times and here is how I have enjoyed it: -On eggs -On a salad (with an extra drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil) -As ..read more

You know that feeling you get when you want dessert and you want it NOW? Yeah, I know you do. Sometimes, we just want something sweet after a meal! To be honest, we don’t do dessert a lot around our house, and a lot of the time when we do it is on a whim. That is where this lovely chocolate drizzle comes in. It is inspired by my lovely friend Erin, who loves whole foods and creating things in the kitchen!  I made this dessert last summer on a warm August evening. It was one of those nights where we wanted to stay outside on our patio for hours. I went inside and whipped it up and came ou ..read more

I hate mornings. Yep. I said it. What I do love are quiet, slow mornings where I can not talk to anyone or do much when I wake. Well, that dream died the second I gave birth to my first daughter almost 5 years ago. Now, mornings are filled with so much talking and questions – I am ON the moment my eyes open. Of course I LOVE and adore my family. It is just different now. Let’s just say that I rely on quick and easy breakfasts. They use the least amount of my limited morning brain power!!  I created these cookies when we first started to reduce and eliminate grains from our diet. Typicall ..read more

I know I’m not the only one who feels like winter draaaags on. Once January hits I feel like we deserve summer. Right? We have already had two long months of winter…I am ready for the sun! Sadly, this just isn’t the reality for us (completely crazy) Canadians. We still have 3-4 months of this left!  Thankfully, I created this dreamy creamy lentil soup to help make it a bit more bearable. It is totally kid approved too. My kids both ate a second helping. It made enough for me to stick leftovers in the fridge too, so we will be able to have easy leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  My girl ..read more
