Kid-Friendly Vegetarian Chilli

November 28, 2017 By Megan 9 Comments

Kid-Friendly Vegetarian Chilli

Cooler temperatures over here mean a change in meals for us, focusing more on heartier soups and chillis, as well as casseroles and dishes use items that are in season now, like root vegetables. Nothing beats a good chilli on a cool Autumn or Winter night. Since having kids though, we’ve had to tone it down about 5 notches… [Read More]

Delicious Vegan Milkshakes

Delicious Vegan Milkshakes

I have a bit of a milkshake obsession. I’ll be the first to admit it. This past pregnancy, the obsession intensified massively. My poor hubby. There was a period where, at least weekly, he would be sent out on a late night mission to our closest ice cream store to get me a double dark… [Read More]

Apple Pie Smoothie

Well, hello Fall! I’ve been a bit absent here lately, and I apologize. Along with dealing with being sick this past month, life has just been a bit nutty. We are starting to get into our new rhythm though and we’re finally been experiencing some Fall temperatures! Not that I’m complaining as I do love the summer…. [Read More]

Healthy Tuna Melts

Healthy Tuna Melts

A few years ago, my hubby picked up a can on sustainable tuna and decided he was going to try his hand at making healthy tuna melts. He didn’t disappoint. These tuna melts were so delicious! Since then, they’ve become a regular in home, with all of us, including the picky 5-year-old, gobbling them up…. [Read More]

Peaches and Cream Vegan Overnight Oats

Peaches and Cream Vegan Overnight Oats

Overnight oats became a favourite of mine and a staple in our home about a year ago. They are so easy. Just throw a few ingredients in a bowl, give them a little mix, cover it and put it in the fridge until the morning. All you need to do after that is add some… [Read More]

Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Even though we try to meal plan, we inevitably end up with days that end up astray and we just require an easy meal.  It happens. It’s the end of the day, no dinner has been started, and we’re wondering what we’re going to eat. The days’ events took longer than expected, we lost track… [Read More]

Watermelon Strawberry Ice Pops

Watermelon Strawberry Ice Pops

Summer time is my absolute favourite time of year, but some times the heat can get to you. And while water is always the best way to stay hydrated, do you ever find yourself craving an alternative? Something with a little bit of sweetness, but not too sweet. Something hydrating. And something that is healthy… [Read More]

The BEST Vegan Strawberry Milkshake

June 29, 2016 By Megan 2 Comments

The BEST Vegan Strawberry Milkshake

Strawberry season has begun, friends! For us, local strawberries signal the beginning of summer and local produce. There’s nothing like biting into a fresh, juicy, still-warm-from-the-bush strawberry.  Unless, of course, you have a mouthwatering vegan strawberry milkshake. That might be better. I was so pumped to pick up my first flat of strawberries that we… [Read More]

Amazing Seven Layer Taco Dip

Amazing Seven Layer Taco Dip

It feels like we went from winter to summer over here in just a couple short weeks. While I’m not complaining, it means a change in eating as well. Hearty soups and hot dishes are not as appealing in hot, hot weather. Instead, fresh fruit, salads, smoothies and delicious light appetizers and snacks are what… [Read More]

Making Time for Mom

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
