Check out this delicious Raw Coconut Yogurt. Perfect for a healthy Valentine’s! Just head over to One Green Planet.

These recipes come from one of the raw food classes I took earlier this year. They are slightly adapted to use what I had on hand. I don’t have a Vita-Mix and these three recipes can be made without that pricey piece of equipment! Although they may be a little chunkier….ha ha ha!
Eating raw isn’t an all or nothing thing for me- I just like the idea of preparing and eating raw food dishes because of their high nutritional content. So use what you have on hand and if it …

Head on over to One Green Planet to grab this yummy recipe!

I hope you all had great holidays and fun New Year’s celebrations! I had a great Christmas, spent in Whistler with my family and my boyfriend. It snowed the whole time, and I gave snowboarding a go. Our car was jam-packed so when we picked up a little Christmas tree there one was only one place for it…thanks Mom! We also had no room to bring up ornaments for the tree….but we are a festive family and thought of something suitable

New Year’s was also spent in Whistler and …

This is another delicious recipe from my raw foods class. The class that this recipe comes from focused on high nutrition snacks. I would suggest making these in bulk as they can take up to 48 hours to deyhydrate. If you make one giant batch you can store them in the freezer. The chocolate used in this recipe contains only healthy ingredients- these snacks provide a perfect burst of energy for you….which is what a snack is really about.

I know I just recently posted a cupcake recipe….but really, is there such thing as to many cupcakes!?
For the last couple of years during the summer our town has been having outdoor movie nights. The most recent one was held in a park and the flick for the night was a 90′s classic- Jurassic Park. I knew I had to whip up a batch of dino- themed cupcakes! I used my favourite recipe for vegan chocolate cupcakes (again!) and decided on a cookies and cream flavoured icing. The Oreos in …

These cupcakes are unique and delicious (and vegan!!). I love this recipe for chocolate cupcakes and I’ve used it many times before. This buttercream has a subtle flavour, almost hard to pinpoint, but it’s the aromatic spices of chai tea. If you aren’t concerned about these cupcakes being vegan, by all means replace the Earth Balance with regular butter.

I bought nutritional yeast (nooch) quite awhile ago and I was very curious as to what it tasted like. I found a recipe for a vegan alfredo sauce and thought that might be a good starting point. In case you don’t know, nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that has a ‘nutty’ or ‘cheesy’ flavour, which is why so many vegan recipes use it. I can’t say that it is my favourite flavour in the world, but I’m glad I tried it, and I would like to try it in …
