One of my favourite things about autumn is the return of fresh, crisp apples! A popular treat at our house is apple crisp. We love how fragrant apple crisp makes the house smell - warm and welcoming. I wanted to experiment with baking apples, but wasn't interested...
We love energy bars at our house. We love them so much we'll often make up a batch with whatever we have on hand. This can be problematic, especially if Robb is behind the wheel operating the food processor. Like a tortured artist, he throws...
On my longer days at the studio, I try to make something substantial and healthy in our kitchen upstairs. Unfortunately, there were slim pickings in the fridge. Some romaine, celery and zucchini that were barely holding on, and an avocado on the brink of turning....
As many of you know, we enjoy receiving organic produce from two local delivery services: Organicslive, and The Kitchen Garden Farm. They are both locally owned and operated, and we are impressed with their dedication to serve their customers well. Our most recent delivery included lots of root vegetables:...
Smoothies are an incredibly efficient method of ensuring you get lots of plant-based nutrition in your diet. They take minutes to make, and they can be enjoyed throughout the day. As many of you can attest, I am often, if not usually, found with a...
Robb's sister, Heather, recently gifted us with some black bean pasta. It's a terrific gluten-free, high-protein option for pasta lovers. The box that it came in had a yummy sounding recipe, which we used as inspiration for this week's recipe. Of course, I couldn't leave...

I've been loving granola lately. I think perhaps it's nature's way of steering me away from smoothies on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong; smoothies are still a staple of my diet, but I also think it's a good idea to switch things up...
Remember those sesame crisps we enjoyed as kids? I loved those teeth-breaking treats! I recently had a craving for sesame seeds, and I'm convinced it's nature's way of telling me I need more calcium in my diet. I'm a bit wary of calcium supplements. There is...
This time it started with broccoli. We received some incredible organic broccoli in our most recent delivery. I wanted to build a recipe around this green goodness. Recalling a funny comment from my friend Joanna about her family wanting old-school veggies with cheese sauce, and knowing my...
I have Heather to thank for this week's recipe. At last Friday's "Fun Friday Flow" (where were you, by the way?), I overheard her talking about these delicious corn tortillas that she gets from our local Country Produce. I might mention that this happened right...
The inspiration for this recipe is courtesy of Rodale's Organic Life. Because I can never leave well enough alone, I made some alterations and additions to the recipe, and I hope you like the results. It's a lovely mix of textures and tastes and is immensely...
