More than running

Over the past few years I’ve grown to love a certain hard ass trainer.  However, it wasn’t until I looked at our DVD collection the other day that I realized it may be bordering on obsession. Don’t worry, no restraining orders need to be filed.  But I do think Jillian Michaels is a fitness genius.  I used to poo-poo home workout videos, thinking they were so 80’s.  Then I moved to the East Coast, where the nasty weather kept me indoors far more often than I liked.  Rather than go stir crazy pent up in… Read more >

Vegan love truffles

Love.  Love.  Love. You can pretty much slap any romantic words in front of a meal name on the 14th and it’s instantly a cupid-themed treat, right?  (Well, maybe not mushy) This morning’s oats were anything but ordinary – they were hot and steamy. 🙂 The add ins were semi-special.  Mostly because there was no moderation whatsoever in the amounts used.  Sure it looks like a simple spoonful of raw almond butter above, but I actually added in the entire remaining portion seen below. I also added the whole banana into the oats when they… Read more >

Mmmm…k

The titles I was considering with the letter “K” would all be flagged as inappropriate if taken out of context, so I will simply say, I had 3 different meals with “K” foods the other day.  The first was more of a breakfast snack really.  Enjoyed with a home-made cappuccino.  Make that a kappuccino (meaning it was dairy-free).  I frothed up a full cup of rice milk then heated it and added it to a shot of caffeine.  The foam took up half the cup, but the rest of the milk made the most rich… Read more >

Hearts and kisses (& a giveaway winner)

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right?  🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever!  I think it’s cliché either way you look at it.  Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF.  This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

Loco for coco giveaway

If it’s a Valentine’s Day present you’re looking for, it’s a present you’re gonna get. When I made this vegan triple coconut “cheesecake” a couple of weeks ago, several people commented that they had no clue where to get coconut flour. Ask and you shall receive. Tropical Traditions has offered to give one lucky reader a 1 kg bag of organic coconut flour (identical to what I used in this recipe). My recipe is crazy good, but there are so many other delicious ways to use coconut flour. I’ve been adding it to my oats… Read more >
