protein smoothie

published 4 years ago, mid-July

If you’re in a pinch for time, smoothies are such an easy breakfast and a healthy way to start your day. Today, I decided to break out my newest find for a true power breakfast: raw hemp protein powder. Hemp is one of nature’s superfoods - with an almost perfect balance of omega 3 and 6. Not to mention [...]

vegetable quiche

published 4 years ago, at the start of July

For quite some time, I’ve had an aversion to custard-like creations….until I found this quiche recipe. Essentially, the quiche has a higher ratio of ingredients to eggs. Which makes me a huge fan. It has a single layer of sliced sweet potato in lieu of a crust and the relatively thin egg mixture serves as an overlay.  It’s quite a simple recipe. And it’s easy [...]

published 4 years ago, at the end of June

My husband is South African. Growing up, he had a variety of fruit trees growing in his backyard (avocado and papaya in particular).

But, I have only recently discovered the grain itself. Indigenous to Ethiopia, this tiny grain packs a punch: it’s loaded with both protein and iron. It is [...]

almond milk

This is something I started making several months ago. As a celiac, we struggle to eat well, constantly rotating our foods, seeking out the most nutrient packed foods possible. As such, I stopped buying boxed milk. Rice milk, almond milk, and hazlenut milk. I found almost all of them to be overly sugary and I often found [...]

fruit dip

published 4 years ago, mid-June

Even though maple syrup is not ”traditional” sugar, so to speak, we try and steer clear of it. I’ve never felt energetic and ready to start my day after eating it over my pancakes or waffles.  Instead, I accompany my hearty breakfast with some kind of berry – as they usually balance out the meal, providing essential nutrients and [...]
