I’m a total squash lover! It’s amazing how one can disguise vegetables by making it look like your favourite carb meal! I do not eat pasta anymore, and I rarely eat brown rice because I am trying to limit my grain intake based on my personal goals (I still bake with brown rice flour occasionally)….

BERRY PROTEIN BASH GREEN SMOOTHIE
I cannot go a day without having a green smoothie; I feel incomplete, but sometimes it is a little challenging coming up with different and creative recipes daily to spice up our daily smoothies. I always add a protein source to my smoothies because I use it as a meal replacement, and also based on…
A DATE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE ;)
I have sugar cravings every now and then, (okay more like everyday), but having half of a kit kat bar or a sugary doughnut wouldn’t make you feel the greatest if you are working towards specific results on your fitness goals. Dates are a nutritious way to conquer those cravings because they contain natural sugars…
CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SOUP
Anything with avocados is right up my alley! I love them because it is the easiest way to get my daily dose of heathy fats for the day, yes I said fats, because good fats are good for you and you shouldn’t be afraid to eat your fats, just in moderation. Most people are stuck…

HOMEMADE PESTO
There are so many different kinds of pesto, and each kind comes with a unique twist which gives it a unique flavour. Pesto is a great substitute for tomato based/pasta sauces, and can also be used on pastas, quinoa, salads, and many more. Plus, it also contains far less/no sodium compared to the traditional canned…
“VANILLA ICE” KIWI BERRY POPSICLES (I had to :D)
Oh my I’m sorry, I kinda have a thing for vanilla ice, and I 100% agree that it makes my taste in men questionable, but hey, this is a food blog so who cares right?? Boom 😉 Anyways, it’s never not warm enough or too cold to enjoy these babies! They are refreshing, healthy, and…
ZUCCHINI PIZZA BOATS
I love getting creative with food! It makes me attracted to it when it comes out “artsy” for lack of a better term, (ya ya i’m weird). If you are looking for a healthy pizza idea for dinner without a flour based crust, you can always swap it for a vegetable base! I find that…
APPLE SPICE COOKIES
There it is! Another walking dead treat I made before the mid season finale, can’t wait for the season to return. In the meantime, I will have to enjoy these babies while catching up on Sons of Anarchy (another favourite show of mine!) clearly I watch way too much tv 😉 Credits for this recipe…
BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP
If you are having one of those warm cozy evenings because you don’t feel like staring at the snow and being slightly depressed, then this is the recipe for you! It will keep you warm and fuzzy much better than hot chocolate 🙂 Ps: I have a secret love affair with squash ? (shhhhh!) Recipe:…
SPICY ORANGE APPLE GREEN SMOOTHIE
Green smoothies are basically my morning coffee and I cannot go without having one everyday. I say a green smoothie a day keeps the doctor away! More information on the benefits of daily green smoothies can be found in my first green smoothie post in the “sides and others” section of my blog. Drink drink…
