The Beyonce – a smoothie bowl for Queens
Last month The Juice Truck asked me to write a blog for them about superfoods for pregnancy. We all now how I feel about super foods for pregnancy, right?! (Shazam!!). I wanted to post the recipe for the smoothie bowl because I think it is so great! Be sure to check out the blog post…
Pear, Pine nut, Chia Butter
I love spreads of all kinds, especially ones that cover both a savoury and sweet craving. The best news about this “butter” is that it actually isn’t butter at all. It’s more of a jam and you can change the flavour profile by adding a nub of ginger, a tsp of cinnamon, ground cardamom, nutmeg…
Zuni Bean Salad Sammiches – A Halloween Grinch’s answer to “treats”.
I am not a Halloween person at all. Mostly I fake it for my kid (total Halloween Grinch). When thinking of what ghostly treat to make for the blog I couldn’t think of anything that was sugar riddled because that’s just not me, so I made you some beans. You’re welcome!! Have you had a…
Spirulina Gomasio BUMP – B4TB’s best in the world nutritional upgrade
I have been eating spirulina for the last 10 years on and off. For the most part I have loved it and I have been a fairly faithful friend to its seaward charms. The taste of spirulina can take some getting used to, but for me, I have learned to love the earthy, ocean qualities it…
Ten Karat Granola
If you love granola the way I love granola you understand the perils of buying it off the shelf: 29 grams of sugar per serving-this is not okay. So to avoid sugar diabetes before noon, I have created the ultimate granola recipe and because I am travelling it’s really simple to make and easy to…
Beetroot Hommous
I created this little recipe out of the love I have for all things beety and chickpea riddled, and also because it’s so darn pretty. It is truly brilliant to look at (a real fox) and a real crowd pleaser in place of our boring friend Mr. Plain Hommous. 2 cups cooked beetroot, peeled (…
Dehydrated Heirloom Pear Candy
I used a dehydrator, a really cool pear/apple corer, a mandoline and lemon juice. That’s it. (You can do this without the corer, dehydrator and slicer. They just make life a lot easier!) Here we go! Prepare a large bowl with one cup of lemon juice for every one quart of water. (I put mine…
RAW cabbage wraps, beetroot and buckwheat tabouleh, pickled green apple
Raw food is not so much a movement for me, or a statement it’s a equalizer in my life. Each day I think about what would empower my body and its journey for that specific day. Some days I require a little pep, or some clearing, other days I really need warming food and complex…
Popcorn Dreams
This was one of the most beloved snacks at the restaurant Heirloom I opened in vancouver, 2013. You can pretty much put anything on popcorn and this is just one variation that makes the grade. You won’t be able to stop eating it. Trust me. Ingredients 4 cups air popped organic popcorn 3 tbl spoons…
