Good-For-You Coconut Cookies

Today I have this little bit of goodness to share with the world: Good-For-You Coconut Cookies. A healthy cookie has been much appreciated this week, as I continue with my ZTC schooling, work on my writing, and learn the ropes at a new job. I love that I can crumble these over my cultured coconut yogurt, eat one with a smoothie, or even a couple after a workout, and know that I am doing something outrageously good for my body. Believe me, doing good tastes darn good. That said, how about the recipe? GOOD FOR YOU COCONUT COOKIES 12 tbsp.... Read more →

Slow Down Salad

This salad has been named the Slow Down because it is meant to be eaten slowly. And with all that crunch and hearty greenery, each bite sort of demands a slower, more gracious pace.... Read more →

5 Minute Vegan Pasta Dinner

I would classify this one was very healthy, as it's laced with spinach and Omega 3's. Plus, it's a one dish wonder. Bon appetite! Read more →

PORRIDGE DAY.

I love me a hearty bowl of oats in the morning. I don't think there is any breakfast food that calms my tummy and makes me feel as nourished as porridge does. Anyone know why this may be? What magical properties does that bowl o'oats really contain? Calling all nutritionists....... Plus there are a million and one ways to "dress it up". Getting bored means you're not thinking hard enough. There is always a new twist to put on oatmeal. Don't believe me? Check this recipe out.

APPLE CRUMBLE CAKE: VEGAN STYLE.

I have eaten aloottta cake in my life. Yep, you may even consider me an aficionado. But Crumble? Pie? Apple sauce concoctions? Ummm....

Lemon Delight Bars

Lemony desserts sing with summer time and outdoor picnics. The weather man is singing a much colder song right now, but that doesn't mean you can't change the tune a little. I adore these lemon delight bars. They are everything a good dessert should be, and nourishing to boot. Add these to your weekly repertoire and see those winter chills float away. I've been enjoying them as a snack throughout the week, and I find they pack a nice energy punch mid-day. LEMON DELIGHT BARS. (RAW VEGAN) For the Crust: -1 cup oat flour (or grind your own oats) -...

Beet(ie) Bye Vermicelli

Simply blended. Fleshy beets, robust walnuts, garlic (powdered) = goodness. I had mine with Brown rice Vermicelli. Combo'd nutrition has become a big thing, a very big thing. We combo the veg with the fruit and the fillings with the crusts and the dinners with the desserts, and we throw it all into a blender and call it (un)cooked. I am not bemoaning this, I like this. Well, actually I am bemoaning it a little, but promoting it too. Solid meals, to me, mean time spent creating and time spent savouring. People don't savour as much when drinking their meals....

CARROT CAKE PORRIDGE- OR MORNING BLISS

I love a special breakfast, but I hate the traditional "greasy spoon sunday". That type of outing just doesn't feel like a treat to me. I don't feel good after eating it, and I don't like starting the day feeling sluggish. Nope, I like breakfast that tastes OUTTA THIS WORLD, and nourishes me for the day. That said, this Carrot Cake Porridge is the BEST. It totally qualifies as 100% healthy, and 100% delicious. No compromising allowed. Wanna make it? Super simple guys. CARROT CAKE PORRIDGE - 4 tbsp. shredded carrot - 4 tbsp. crushed walnuts - 1/3 cup oat... Read more →
