I’m back with another post about my new favourite Canadian company – Evie! If you’re not familiar with them, Evive is a Canadian company, based in Montreal, that was founded in 2015. (You might have even seen them on Dragon’s Den!) They offer convenient, easy and nutritious smoothies that you ...
I tried Evive Smoothies for the first time! – first impressions + a coupon code
If you know me, you know that I’m big on smoothies. I had seen some of Evive Nutrition’s products in my local grocery store before so I was really excited when they reached out to me and offered to send me a box of their products to try out. Spoiler alert: I’m in love. If you have a busy or active ...
Christmas Cranberry Sangria
It’s beginning to look a lot like cocktails! Cranberries are one of my favourite things to experiment in the kitchen with this time of the year – they’ve always just felt so festive to me! Last year, I created this Christmas cranberry sangria and shared it on my Instagram. I thought I would ...
Gluten-free Mini Egg donuts
With being stuck at home, we've been baking up a storm in our house over the past couple of weeks and also experimenting with different recipes. (I'm totally a stress-baker and a stress-eater.) So far, we've made banana bread, muffins, brownies and most importantly, donuts. It hasn't been the best ...
Canning for the first time with Bernardin – my grandmother’s red pepper jelly recipe!
This summer marks the 4th year anniversary of my grandmother’s passing. I wrote a little bit about her and our relationship back when it happened as a form of self-therapy, but one thing I left out was her love for canning. Growing up, my grandparents owned a farm out in Creemore, Ontario which ...
Easy gluten free cut-out cookies for Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day
Y'all know me, I love holidays and any excuse to make themed crafts, recipes and decor – and Valentine's Day is no different. So, today we're making some Valentine's or Galentine's themed cookies! I really do love Valentine’s Day, but not necessarily for the "typical" reasons. While I love ...
Recipe: Candy Cane Pancakes (gluten-free)
'Tis the season for Candy Cane everything! I don't know about you guys, but I'm in full Holiday mode, thanks to all those delightfully terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. (I know, I know, super corny. But they are so bad they are good!) We had our very first snowfall today too! As a result, ...
Recipe: Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes
It's no secret that I love everything related to fall. (See Exhibit A and Exhibit B here.) Naturally, with it being fall, I am craving pumpkin everything and I'm on a mission to do as many fall things as I can before it's over. Pumpkin bread, scones, cake, ice cream, candles, I love it all! And ...
A Fond Farewell to Fall
Fall technically isn't over yet, but since I live in Canada... it's totally over. And I'm really bummed about it. Okay, okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit here but honestly it feels like we barely even had fall this year, it was still hot for half of September and now it's nearly the end of October ...
Recipe: Stuffed Baked Apples and Apple Crisp
Fall is my favourite time of year for a number of reasons: the weather, the colours, the clothes, and the food. Oh, the food! What is it about fall foods that makes it so comforting? Apple cider, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, my mom's homemade apple sauce (speaking of which, mom if ...
Recipe: Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream + Strawberry Puree
One of my favourite childhood memories is that every summer, my grandmother, mom, sister, aunt and cousins and I would all go strawberry picking. Growing up, my grandparents had a farm in Creemore, ON that was kind of like our family's cottage. The entire family was there every holiday, and for ...
Refreshing and Cooling Smoothie, Perfect for Summer!
I'll be honest - I've never been one to eat enough fruits and (especially) vegetables in a day, so I love smoothies for this reason. Smoothies are such a great way to incorporate some more fruit and veggies into your diet, without it feeling like a chore. My rule of thumb when I'm making ...
