Acai Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothi Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m pretty sad to say it but I think yesterday was my last day of skiing for the season. We’ve been going up to Schweitzer Mountain Resort so much this season and I’m proud to report I’ve improved a lot on my form. All through February the weather was bitterly cold and we got dumped on with snow but this week has seen a huge shift in temperatures. I think it’s safe to say that yesterday was clearly the end of the cold. The sky was crystal blue, the rooftops were dripping streams of melting snow, and everyone on the slopes was shedding their layers throughout the day. In…

Black Rice Vegetable Sushi Rolls (Vegan+GF)
What time is it? Sushi Time! To be honest, I never acquired a taste for sushi until I was in my teens. I didn’t like the fishy taste of the seaweed and I especially didn’t like idea of raw fish, which I like even less now. Yeah, you won’t find any raw fish recipes here on the blog but the good news is that you can still make some delicious varieties of sushi with just some good old vegetables. In the past I’ve done all kinds of sushi with things like sweet potato or avocado but today I wanted to keep it really simple. As for the rice, I happened…

Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the…

Veggie Grain Bowls with Crispy “Parm” Roasted Chickpeas & Aji Ranch (Vegan+GF)
Anyone else craving some wholesome goodness? I’ve been so inspired recently by all of the pretty and healthy bowls that everyone has been making. All of the modern, hip food bloggers are doing them. There are a bunch of different names for them; buddha bowls, nourish bowls, quinoa bowls, there’s even the smoothie bowls going on. Basically, everything is in bowls and if it’s not then you aren’t doing it right. My main goal for this recipe was to keep things really simple and I even took some optional short-cuts/cheats for my own bowls. The first step is to make the “parm” chickpeas which are way easier to make than…

Homemade Almond Milk + Video (Vegan+GF)
I think it’s pretty safe to say there are a lot of options for plant-based milks on the market today. You’ve got oat milk, cashew milk, rice, soy, pistachio, hazelnut, hemp, and the list goes on and on……… So, why then, would you want to go to the effort of making your own? I mean, if you haven’t seen all the hilarious memes of desperate people spending all their time “milking” almonds every morning then what are you doing with your life? (Google it if you want a laugh 😉 ) But anyway, there are actually tons of reasons that you might want to make your own. Firstly, the taste…

Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies (Vegan+GF)
So were you a fan of Little Debbie’s famous cream pies as a kid? I liked them but I could never figure out how I really felt about them because they were obviously not healthy at all. On the other hand though, you sort of felt like they should be because they were oatmeal, you know? That’s pretty much what this recipe is doing. I mean, they could be a lot worse but I’ll be honest and admit they’re not exactly the “healthiest” choice. They’re just a healthier alternative. I just figured that if I was going to share a fresh treat this January it should at least pretend to…

Simple Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
There are nights when you crave a cozy soup……and then there are times when you just need a burger! I’ve really been into simplifying things recently. I mean, life is complicated enough without adding to it, you know? These veggie burgers definitely fit the bill because they’re about as basic as it gets. They’re great for making ahead for the week as well. I remember the first time I heard of a veggie burger as a kid and the first thing I thought of was a regular burger piled with vegetables. When I found out that you could make burgers out of things like squash, beans, and other vegetables I…
