Healthy Lemon Blackberry Yogurt Parfait

April 30, 2016 By Megan 104 Comments

Healthy Lemon Blackberry Yogurt Parfait

Don’t you love foods that can double as both a breakfast AND a dessert? I sure do. We don’t do dessert after dinner here every night, but it is nice to end the meal with a touch of sweetness some times. Or, according to 4-year-old K, it’s nice to have dessert every night. While he usually… [Read More]

Healthy Chocolate Monkey Pie

“Oh, I’m going to pass on dessert. I’m trying to cut back.” It’s a common phrase I hear often. Far too often. Because, well, dessert is awesome. And life is short. So why pass on the sweet stuff? Instead of giving up the final course of a meal, here’s a better idea: choose a healthier… [Read More]

Healthy Easter Brunch Ideas

With Easter quickly approaching (how did that happen?), we’ve started deciding on our Easter brunch menu. It will be a vegetarian affair and we’re planning on eating a lot of delicious food. Sometimes I think people don’t believe that the words delicious and healthy can be synonymous, but, my friends, they definitely can. Even when we’re… [Read More]

Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Blueberries. Smoothies. Cheesecake. Three of my favourite things. The first two are healthy. The third? Well, not so much. But, everything in moderation, right? I’ve also been experimenting with making some awesome raw and vegan cheesecakes, and I have to say, they are delicious! But still, I have to admit, nothing can beat the real… [Read More]

Clementine Cream Smoothie (Vegan)

So, it’s the middle of winter here, but the weather has been strange…very strange. Last year at this time, we were locked down in what felt like the deep freeze of the century, with temperatures and the windchill so cold that your fingers would freeze within seconds of going outside if they weren’t covered up…. [Read More]

Valentine’s Day Smoothie (Vegan)

It’s no secret that we love smoothies over here. My Vitamix blender is a serious workhorse and gets used at least once or twice a day. I really don’t know what I did before this epic blender entered our lives. I’m always having fun coming up with new smoothie creations, especially for special holidays. Our… [Read More]

Healthy Broccoli Cheese Soup

When I was little, my mom used to bring me to one particular restaurant downtown whenever we had a special day out going to see a movie or a bit of shopping.

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]
