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…
Spaghetti Squash Bolognese – From the Y4YB iOS APP
I love a bolognese especially when it’s made with lentils. This recipe is positively one of my favourites on the app, especially on a cold and dreary fall night and is super quick to whip up and is a great protein hit with the walnuts and the lentils. Belissima! Ingredients 1 large spaghetti squash, roasted…
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…
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 (…
RAW cabbage wraps, beetroot and buckwheat tabouleh, pickled green apple

Real Life Vegan Tacos (glutenono)
What makes them “real life?” I have this thing about life affirming food: food with vitality present. Not that I always eat ‘live’ food, never drink coffee or eat a bowl of ice cream (with bananas and chocolate and toasted walnuts preferably) but I do eat A LOT of food that is, well, living. What denotes…
Raw Vegan Bueberry Cardamom Tarts
I feel so lucky we have some of the most beautiful organic blueberries available in BC in the world. I quite literally turn into a blueberry during the month of July and consume probably an easy 5lbs per week. This little tart recipe is a breeze and a hit with the kids on a sunny…
Vegan Fall Early Squash Soup
Oh hai Autumn (almost). Squash has arrived and this means creamy vegan soups, roasted, steamed with yuzu and miso, raw grated into salad and earth spiced slaws. Buttercup, spaghetti, kabocha are in house @ellofoods this week. Pro tip: slightly steamed then frozen, skinless squash chunks are a great teething chew for babies 7 months plus. …
