Peanut Butter Granola

Peanut Butter Granola. Need we say more? When I discovered the peanut butter granola at Trader Joes I was hooked.  The problem is, we don't have TJ's here in Canada.  Immediately I began experimenting with different recipes to come up with this sugar free blend.  My favorite way to enjoy granola is with a bowl of vanilla, coconut yogurt, topped with fresh raspberries and blueberries.  I can and I will eat this anytime of the day!   Claudine xx

Tofu Mushroom Gyros

Are you participating in Veganuary? Or just looking for a new vegan meal? This Tofu Mushroom Gyros is absolutely bursting with rich flavor to satisfy even the biggest omnivore seated at your table. I love this dish because it can be made into a quick lunch wrap, rice bowl or a beautifully plated dinner. The tofu and mushrooms give it a meaty like quality and you can top it off with any of your favorite vegetables.  My go-to toppings include vegan feta cheese by Violife and fresh herbs like parsley and mint. People choose a vegan diet for many different reasons....

Everything But The "B" But Better

Everything But The Bagel seasoning was the best thing to happen to my breakfast game.  As I find I'm usually a savory girl in the A.M. this is a great way to elevate my morning avocado toast! I originally purchased my EBTB seasoning on a girls trip to Palm Springs from TJ's. I bought 1 for the duration of the trip to enjoy with the girls and 1 to bring home. Let's just say that 2nd bottle didn't last long when I shared it with the fam.  At the time you couldn't buy EBTB anywhere in Canada. So when we...

The BEST Fruit Salad

Just when you thought your fruit salad couldn't be any better, we've gone ahead an elevated this classic fruit bowl. With the addition of sweet from the maple syrup, a little tart from the lime and a little spicy from the cinnamon, it doesn't get any better! While this fruit salad recipe was a summer afternoon staple, it has quickly become a "goto", incorporated with granola and coconut yogurt in the morning and as a part of a cheeky late night treat. Forgive me if you find me slurping up the juices at the bottom of the bowl. Of course...

Vegan "Girl Dinner"

I love this new trend of the "girl dinner". Nothing screams summertime dinners more than building your own charcuterie board and if you know us we've made it vegan! I like rustic, seeded crackers. My favorite ones are from Trader Joe's but if you can't access TJ's cause you live in Canada like me, then I really like Ryvita. They have a variety of flavor combos. Truffle hummus is a little hard to find but hands down my favorite.  I'm pretty lucky to live in an area that has the best Greek market.  They have a beautiful deli section with...

Dark Chocolate and Cherry Smoothie

This is one of my favorite smoothies when I feel like a treat.  I've always loved the combination of fruit and chocolate and this smoothie allows me that guilty free feeling. I'm thinking of adding a tablespoon of peanut butter next time, what do you think? This also happens to be one of my kids favorite smoothie recipes.  While they think they're just getting a chocolate smoothie, I love that I can hide a handful of spinach in their with zero complaints. Big win! Claudine xx
