Mum’s Original Review and Giveaway
[Yes, these Raw Caramel Cupcakes with Banana-Cacao Frosting are bursting with superfoods ingredients!] As many of you know, I spend some quite a bit a crazy amount of time every day on twitter. I love that I’ve been able to strike up acquaintances with other bloggers, writers, nutritionists and companies that way. Well, several months […]
Lauren’s Fruity Tea-Steeped Oatmeal with Kiwis
[Here topped with a dollop of coconut yogurt] So it’s no secret that I love summer. (No, let me rephrase that: I adore summer. I worship summer. I am summer’s acolyte. I wait all year, walking around like Pigpen with a gray cloud floating in my wake wherever I go, until summer finally arrives and […]
Kitchen Classics: Kale Salad, Fully Loaded
[With added hemp seeds, sprouts, radish, apple and chopped pecans] It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in the DDD household, what with mega-marking for my classes at the college, a whirlwind trip to Montreal (more on that anon), the regular array of doctor’s appointments, a quick visit for a dental emergency (my molar […]
Lemon-Kissed Blueberry Ice Cream
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you probably have a good idea of the kinds of foods I eat or don’t eat, and my diet profile in general. While I consume a vegan diet, I don’t generally talk about it too much with people (unless they ask, of course). As someone who lives […]
[Flash in the Pan] Summer Refresher: Watermelon-Basil Cooler
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).]‘ […]
Chai Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
[Smooth, creamy. . . and oh so easy!] I’m so glad it’s ice cream season again, aren’t you? Not because it coincides with climbing temperatures (though the 25C (78F) and sunny days are certainly welcome). Not because it means the HH and I can bring The Girls down to the Beaches for lakeside walks (“We […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Breakfast Smoothie
I know I promised a final installment to the Dole Summit recaps (and I’ll be posting that one next), but I just had to share this amazing smoothie that I guzzled created this morning! After spending the past three days with a miserable cold (damn you, recirculated airline air), I woke up today feeling marginally better […]
Salad Squared at the Dole Summit: Salad Samplings, Salad Ballet and Salad Recipe
[My own creation, inspired by our group’s favorite sample salad. See recipe, below.] After a whirlwind three days at the Dole Salad Summit, I finally woke up yesterday in my own bed. Glancing out the window, it seemed to me that something was a little “off”: the sky outside looked just a little little […]
Flash in the Pan: So Easy Orange-Goji Chocolates
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss.
