These sugar free nutty granola bars are the perfect grab-on-the-go breakfast or afternoon snack. They are also great to pack in your purse or car for times when you are running late and are famished. The original recipe came from Kim over at Low Carb Maven. The only change I made was in the sweetener…
Low Carb Tortilla Chips
As you may be able to tell from this picture I was not quite prepared to post this particular recipe. However, an Instagram follower was looking for the recipe after I posted a phone shot and so I have put a quick post together in order to share it. The trickiest part of the recipe,…
Low Carb ‘Apple’ turnovers
Yup I said apple. Well, sort of. Do you remember oh so many years ago when mock apple pie hit your mom’s recipe books. You know, the one that used Ritz brand crackers rather than actual apples? Who’s idea was that anyway??!! Can you imagine why on earth you would want to replace a perfectly…
Cauliflower Hummus
I love hummus. It is one of my favourite accompaniment to so many things, like yummy and carb laden fresh pita bread, or veggies, or crackers, or pita chips, or as a sandwich spread. Yeah, mostly to accompany my carbs…sigh. The impetus for making hummus this week though was actually my collard greens. I have a lovely…

The trip through the rockies is always beautiful and since Steve likes to leave super early, before the traffic on the TransCanada is nutso, it is enjoyable. It is however, a reasonably…
Crispy Beet Chips
Beets are one of those foods that you either love, or hate. I love ’em, Steve hates ’em. I read somewhere that people who dislike that earthy smell that you get when it rains often also find beets to have an overly earthy taste, which is how Steve describes them. “They taste like dirt” says…
Citrus Breeze Smoothie
Green smoothies are my go to breakfast, unless I’m craving protein – and then I go for eggs. I started making green smoothies about 2 years ago, when I purchased a Vitamix on impulse at Costco. I had tried making a green smoothie or two with my regular blender and they were tasty but had…
Chia Pudding with Fresh Berries
Last fall I did a 21 Day whole food cleanse offered up by the girls over at Simple Green Smoothies. I’d never done a cleanse before and some that I had seen seemed kinda radical. I really wanted to feel successful at it so I wasn’t really up for one that required coffee enemas (whaaaat?!!!!)…
