Paleo Cashew Butter Protein Cookies

That's quite a loaded title, but I can't think of a less descriptive name to give this little creation. Basically, it's a protein cookie, with a lovely dab of smooth organic cashew butter in the middle. Magical, I know. As saddening as it is for me to admit, I've been slacking big time on the …

Apple Spice Proatmeal Pudding Repost: 31 Days of Autumn

I know this is technically cheating with the challenge, but in all fairness, it is a really yummy recipe. Today I was barely in the house and it resulted in me coming home around 5 when the light had already began to fade, which of course meant that any creation I made couldn't be photographed …

How to Introduce Your Friends and Family to Veganism: My Experience

I guess the first idea would be to pull a trick such as feeding them something that doesn't look to be vegan, then having your glorious "Guess what?! That's vegan!" moment. Perhaps for the more passionate (and less understanding) people out there, simply forcing them to watch a clip of animals being slaughtered or mistreated …

Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Lentil Curry: 31 Days of Autumn

I'm only 9 days in, and I feel like I haven't accomplished much with this challenge. Perhaps it's because I had planned to make tons of cinnamon flavoured sweets, like donuts, pies and cookies, but unfortunately I have a diet to stick to. However, I promise you the good stuff is coming soon. It's always …

Apple & Carrot Pumpkin Bread: 31 Days of Autumn

This recipe came about in kind of a funny way. Originally I was planning on making a banana/pumpkin break hybrid (I'll likely do this at some point), but my lovely brother convinced me to add in other ingredients; resulting in a kind of carrot-cake-pumpkin-hybrid. I have to say, I was really amazed how awesome it …

Protein Espresso Oatmeal Cookies: 31 Days of Autumn

So these Protein Oatmeal Chia Seed Espresso Cookies (such a long title), are one of my favorite pick me ups to enjoy along side a hot cup of coffee during those cold autumn mornings. Filling and energizing, what more is there to want in a breakfast cookie? These also hold very well during storage and …

Oatmeal Muffins: 31 Days of Autumn

I was almost late today posting this recipe as I've been kind of preoccupied, but I somehow managed to get a hold of one of my old favorite muffin recipes. To make this all you'll need is the following:   2 flaxseed "eggs" (mixing 2 Tablespoons of flaxseeds with 1/2 cup water) 1 cup rolled …

Turmeric Detox Tea: 31 Days of Autumn

This tea became a favorite of mine earlier this year during the chilly winter months, and as the temperature has started to drop recently, I felt inclined to give my body an immunity boost. I've already spoken about the incredible benefits of turmeric in a previous post, but when paired with another antibacterial and inflammatory …

Pumpkin Seed, Walnut & Raisin Banana Bread: 31 Days of Autumn

Bananas, aren't they amazing? It seems in the vegan foodie community everyone is obsessed with them. With all the nutritional benefits and versatility, it's easy to love them. However, besides their lovely taste, bananas also happen to be a great egg replacement for many baking recipes. Even before I started my mission to slowly convert …

Pros of Proatmeal: 31 Days of Autumn

I wrote a post a few clicks back about my favorite combination of oat meal and protein powder, and it's still something I'm a little passionate about. With zoatmeal being all the rage these days (...eww), it's quite odd why this simple idea hasn't grown more popular. The base of the proatmeal is so filling …

Coconut & Turmeric Pumpkin Soup: 31 Days of Autumn

This recipe was something I had been itching to try for a long time, but I never seemed to get around to making it. However, this morning when I woke to the sound of rain pounding at my window and found that a deep chill had crept into the house over night; I knew it …

Apple Spice Protein Pancakes: 31 Days of Autumn Challenge

It's the first day of my favorite time of year, a time when the leaves begin to transform their colors and there's a crisp note hanging on every gust of wind. This is my favorite season for so many reasons; such as nature's vibrant array of colors and the festive time of Halloween. My favorite …
