    Plant Powered Pizza – “PB & J”

    Welcome to this Friday’s edition of Plant Powered Pizzas! It’s kid friendly for your kids, someone else’s kids, or the kid in you! I have some awesome memories from my childhood – most of them involve weird games my sisters and I made up to keep ourselves entertained. Of course, this was before the young…

  • Plant Powered Pizzas – “Taco”

    Plant Powered Pizzas – “Taco”

    How eye catching is that title, am I right? I knew you guys would love that creative name! Well, truthfully, this pizza doesn’t need a creative name to be eye catching. It’s called TACO for goodness sake. If that didn’t hook you, what would? Every Friday night, Matthew makes a late dinner for me when…

    Plant Powered Pizzas – “Backyard BBQ”

    Gorgeous people, left, right, and centre! Welcome to another Plant Powered Pizza Friday. Who likes BBQ? Wait let me rephrase that: who doesn’t like BBQ? That rich smoky flavour is the bomb dot com. But- have you ever noticed that the store bought stuff contains way too many sugars and preservatives? I can’t hack it.…

  • Plant Powered Pizzas – “Asparagus Pizza on Cauliflower Crust”

    Plant Powered Pizzas – “Asparagus Pizza on Cauliflower Crust”

    For once in my life, I finally feel like I am getting ahead. Take this post, for instance: I wasn’t rushing around last minute to get it done, but carefully constructed it well in advance. Took the photos in a calm and mindful manner. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I feel like I’m getting…

    Plant Powered Pizzas – “Sweet Potato w/Balsamic Drizzle” 

    For those of you who have been following along for a while, you will remember the series I did last summer on Nicecream. At least I found it pretty unforgettable! Probably because it was so delicious! I learned a lot from taking on that series, and I felt that by challenging myself I was able…

  • Is Gluten Making You Moody? 

    Is Gluten Making You Moody? 

    I decided to give up gluten last year during my elimination diet to figure out what was making me so sick. Turns out, it was dairy. But just for a second, let me turn this car around. Because guess what? Even though I didn’t feel the same severity of effects with gluten, it never made…

  • Warm Winter Salad

    Warm Winter Salad

    Something great happened today (besides the recipe, but don’t worry I’ll get to that too). We finally bought a dining room table today! Since we moved in September, Matthew and I have been living without. That’s been especially difficult because I love sitting down and being present to enjoy a meal. Hard to do without…

    Beat the Holiday Bloat! 3 TOTALLY FREE ways to improve your digestion.  

    Beating the bloat this time of year isn’t easy – with the holidays fast approaching we begin eating stuff that isn’t normally in our day-to-day diet. Cakes, cookies, and other Christmas treats. I would never tell you to skip out on those! But I do want to pass on to you 3 totally free ways…

  • What is “normal” ?

    What is “normal” ?

    What is “normal” when it comes to health? I think we can all agree that the answer is different for everybody. But one trend I do notice is people’s tendency to settle for their “normal” instead of optimal. I, for example, find it “normal” to be bloated after eating. Other people find it “normal” to have headaches…
