It’s been getting quite hot lately and I haven’t been wanting to be cooking a lot in the kitchen. I’m also kicking up my fitness ruitine a notch and have been really enjoying light, energizing, quick to prepare meals with only a small handful of ingredients. Many of these awesome healthful meals are raw, and [...]
Creamy Chickpea Spread with Fresh Bell Pepper, Romaine & Avocado
Warm weather just calls for meals like this! Very quick to put together and so fresh and crunchy. I feel like this will become a stable recipe for the spring/summer!…I actually wish I had some right now. :[ These would probably be good baked in the oven too! Must try that sometime...with vegan cheese on [...]
Raw Fudgey Truffles with Mesquite Caramel Filling
I haven’t made any raw recipes aka raw desserts (!!) for a long time. I had purchased some maca and mesquite powder a few months ago and hadn’t really dove into them, so I chose mesquite and made what are probably some of the yummiest raw chocolates I have made yet! Not to say I [...]
Healthy & Clean Roasted Vegetables with Wild Rice
I was thinking that my dinner last night was too simple to post on here, but sometimes simple and clean and healthy is the best way to go. I also know that some people are just looking for something straight forward that is really good for them. While the wild rice does take around 45 [...]
Soft Serve Chocolate Pumpkin Ice Cream
This recipe is an add-on from the pumpkin pudding recipe. I wasn’t planning on doing this, but just sort of winged it… seemed like a good idea. It was delicious. I figured one couldn’t really go wrong with frozen banana, pumpkin and chocolate. This is a little finicky if you don’t have a super great [...]
Gluten Free Vegan Apple Blueberry Pancakes
I don’t know about you, but I have had a lot of unfortunate vegan pancake experiences in the past. So many wasted batches due to them sticking like crazy to the pan, falling apart, not cooking on the inside properly but burning on the outside. Ughhh! However, I have been tinkering with different variations of the following [...]
PB2 Peanut Butter – Low Fat Powdered Peanut butter & Chocolate Peanut Butter
July 22nd, 2011
Clare So, I’ve been intrigued by PB2 for a while now. I’ve probably known about it for about a year, but I never actually buy peanut butter or any other nut butters for myself, so I never went ahead and bought any of the PB2. However, I recently graduated from university (WOOT) and am taking a [...]
Stove Top Pineapple Broccoli Mini Pizzas
July 21st, 2011
Clare Is pizza vegan? Well, not usually, but this one is! Homemade stovetop pizza crust, homemade tomato sauce with chickpeas, black olives, baby spinach, garlic, ginger and a slightly spicy thai peanut sauce with broccoli florets. No vegan cheese in this pizza, so it’s quite light and won’t leave you ready to pass out in bed [...]
No Bake Mini Cupcakes with Chocolate Peanut Butter Icing – PB2
July 20th, 2011
Clare My order consisting of PB2 and chocolate PB2 arrived in the mail today and I got too excited and wanted to make something with them. I sadly couldn’t order the PB2 from the brand’s website, since shipping to Canada is absolutely insane. I had some of the original kind of some left over pizza crust [...]

Low fat Blueberry Pancakes – Recipe pancakes – Simple and Vegan
July 17th, 2011
Clare These pancakes are packed full of blueberries that have an explosion of flavour every time you bite into one. I’m not a huge pancake lover, but when a good 1/2 of it consists of fresh fruit, I can’t resist. I ate these today right after I made them and they don’t even need any accompaniment, [...]

Clare Last night I had a wicked sweet craving and had some almond meal in the pantry so I decided to just make a little treat and this is what I came up with – Raw mint chocolate cookies! No bake cookies that are gluten-free and full of yummy ingredients. Print Ingredients Almond Flour/Meal (I [...]
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding – Chia Seeds Recipe
July 14th, 2011
Clare Here is a chia seeds recipe that I’ve been making a lot lately – a healthy pudding that’s chocolately and revitalizing. The chia seeds absorb up the almond milk and turn the mixture into a thick pudding like consistency. It doesn’t take like there are seeds in the pudding – they become soft as they [...]
