Treats

I love food and I love to eat. So you would think the whole breastfeeding-eat-all-the-food situation I'm in right now would be heaven. But let me tell you this, getting in enough calories every single day, to maintain my milk supply is really tough! Eating has become a full-time job! ...

It was 35 degrees here on the weekend (for my friends south of the border, that's 95F) and while that's just gorgeous for most people, being 6 months pregnant made it a little tough to handle! So I spent the weekend enjoying lots of cold food like salads, hard boiled ...

The holiday season can be challenging when you avoid certain foods. If you're lucky, you can indulge in a few treats that you wouldn't normally indulge in - if that's the case go ahead! Just make them count! However if you're like me, there's a line you can't cross. I ...

Well it's about time I posted a pumpkin recipe this fall! I'm a huge fan of the pumpkin-spice obsession that occurs as of October 1. Normally I stick with homemade pumpkin spice lattes using my pumpkin spice creamer, but sometimes I get a little more creative. Case in point, this ...

When I was in grade school, we were always allowed to bring in a treat for the whole class on our birthdays. Since my birthday was in June, and it was usually hot out, my mom would always make jello jigglers for me to take! They were always a huge ...

Have you had coconut milk ice cream yet? If your answer is anything other than "hell ya", go out and get some right now! Specifically the brand Luna and Larry's Coconut Bliss because it has the cleanest ingredients. It's like the Hagen Daaz of dairy-free ice cream. Rich, creamy, and ...

One of the most frequent questions I get from clients is for more breakfast options. To be honest, I find it fascinating that people can have a bagel and cream cheese every single day for breakfast and not get bored, but bacon and eggs? Nope, bored. Everyone wants cereal! I'm ...

Banana muffins are my favourite. When I was little I used to always ask my mom to make "na-na muff-uffs", which unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) means that's still what we call banana muffins in my parents house! They may or may not have a ...

I love pumpkin pie. Like love love love it. It's one of my favourite parts of Thanksgiving - that and the amazing quality time with family of course! Unfortunately inherent to a traditional pumpkin pie recipe is wheat and dairy, so it's non-negotiable for me. It's been years since I've ...

Now that it is officially fall, I can finally post a pumpkin recipe! It's been a busy week in my household, so I'm going to keep this post short. It's also been an exciting week, because I was quoted in an article for in the Toronto Sun, as well as ...

Removing dairy from my diet was absolutely crucial in gaining my health back. As a child I always had stomach issues and in hindsight, dairy was likely the culprit. Not only was constant consumption (seriously, I was obsessed!) causing chronic low-grade inflammation in my body and setting the stage for ...

When the dog days of summer roll in, I really start craving ice cream. Who am I kidding...I always crave ice cream!! That's all fine and dandy, except for the small issue of a severe dairy allergy, which makes enjoying ice cream a little more challenging for me than for ...
