It is on these days that I reach for my ever trusty Vegan Protein Powder Vega One. (I’ve previously mentioned it in my Best Green Smoothie Recipe post here). {Read More}

The answer is simple: create dishes that sound like they contain meat… and surprise them with how good they taste! This weekend my house was completely meat-free, thanks to a few good recipes and crisp fall air that encourages creations such as stuffed butternut squash… and burgers.

September 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment
When I travel, one of the first things I tend to do is source out the local vegetarian/raw/veagan restaurants or the local organic store (the latter may have a lot to do with the prices of organic products in Norway, but nevertheless, may prove to be helpful to some world wanderer like me — for those curious Bio & Bio is the only organic store in Dubrovnik and is found here). Last week I had an awesome time with my {Read More}
Health Benefits of Kale – “Hail-to-the-Kale” Salad Recipe
August 26, 2012 by 2 Comments

It wasn’t organic and 2. It was $9 CAD for a bunch. Needless to say, in my desperate state, I {Read More}

May 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Every so often I get a little creative in the kitchen. What’s not so creative is that it usually involves a blender and some veggies. I am definitely no Martha Stewart — and I’ll take healthy over creative any day; however, this weekend I was both :) I whipped this one up while I was inspired by the raw food restaurant I found here in the North. It is a great, healthy and lower calorie (for those of you who {Read More}
