This blueberry protein smoothie bowl has had to wait 5 days and as many writing attempts before finally coming to you… but life is sometimes messy like that… very much like this smoothie bowl! But that doesn’t mean it isn’t still good… the smoothie bowl, I mean… and life too! These past 2 weeks have …
This vegan banana bread was a long time coming, folks. Starting from a recipe that called for a cup of white sugar, a cup of vegetable oil, and 3 cups of white flour, I have to admit I swung a little far to the extreme of healthy on my first few tries to “healthify” it. …

Happy New Year, friends!! It’s January, which means we’re all on diets, or at least doing some sort of “detox” for the next 7 days, right?? Like a juice fast, liver cleanse, or the “cayenne pepper drink”?? Aren’t we?? I mean, isn’t that the thing to do in January??? Weelll, as my Pa would say… …
Hello friends! It’s almost the last day of the year, and I had thoughts of writing you all a grand and reflective post called “The Best of 2016” linking up your favourite recipes of the past 12 months and waxing poetic on how much the blog has grown. But to be honest, the blog actually hasn’t grown that …
Hello friends, it’s pumpkin season! (At least it is in North America!) And actually, in Philippines, it’s pumpkin season all year long… Philippines has beautiful local pumpkins called kalabasa that are a bit softer and milder than “jack-o-lantern” pumpkins. I do everything with them, from roasting slices with cinnamon & curry powder, to cubing them …
Maybe I’m imagining things, but I think it’s been a wee bit cooler here these past couple of days… as in, I had to put on a sweater whilst working in my air-conditioned kitchen! But hey, I’ll take what I can get, and go ahead and call it “fall.”. Fall is my favourite season, you know. …
I’m obviously into bars lately… no, not THAT kind! The kind you eat… muesli bars like these chocolate chip orange muesli bars. Mark did give Theda a start the other day though, when he was describing our evening at the “tapas” bar with friends last Friday night. He was eating a muffin as he spoke …
It’s July, friends, and US grocery stores are just bursting with summer blueberries. I wonder if this in honour of US Independence Day on July 4? I’m not really sure, and I’m not sure I care either… as long as I can get my fill of blueberries for the duration of my stay here… and …
Ever heard of golden milk? It’s all the rage… Don’t worry… I hadn’t either. Golden milk is milk (or usually, a non-dairy milk like almond, coconut, or soy) flavored with cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne pepper if you’re brave, & sweetened with maple syrup (or honey if you’re not vegan.) But why??? And is it even GOOD??? …
Not that I’m ever giving up on my beloved banana oat cookies… but sometimes I just want to sink my teeth into a soft muffin for breakfast. And if those muffins can be made in one bowl with fewer than 10 ingredients, that’s gonna make my day, even more so if they involve the combination of peanut …
