Healthy, wholesome, recipe inspiration
Sometimes I like to veer away from the classic squash soup in the winter- even if it is a great way to get in your dose of greens. I find it can get slightly tiresome and by the time spring rolls around I don’t even want to see root vegetables! So having a few other soup options up your sleeve is ideal and that is where this recipe comes in. Are you ready to give it a go?

What are you making for dinner this week? Our oven just kicked the bucket so I dusted off the ol’ slow cooker for this meal. I know the slow cooker is so 2009 and everyone is on the Instant Pot bandwagon, but sometimes it’s nice to embrace that slow food. The idea of coming home to your house wafting with delicious and warming aromas because your dinner has been simmering all day is so comforting and feels like a big hug when you walk in the door. AND, since I am oven-less and cold food in the winter is not fun at all (we are total hippies and don’t have a microwave) the slow cooker seemed like a great idea to make warm food. So please, SEND ME ALL OF YOUR FAVOURITE SLOW COOK RECIPES.

Do you get sucked into the constant scroll of the screen on your phone? Admittedly, I am a huge scroller and I absolutely hate it. When I limit my screen time I feel so much better. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer during the day that by the time the evening rolls around I am completely tapped out. The weird headache that comes along with too much screen time is a sure sign that I need to go outside and enjoy a good walk and a little nature. Vitamin N everybody…
I have found that turning my phone and computer and whatever TV source(I’m looking at you Netflix) off a couple of hours before bed makes a HUGE difference. It also gives me ample opportunity to read or journal which I aim to do more of anyways (goal is to read all of these books in 2018!). It’s weird though because I have this FOMO right as I turn it off- or I worry that if there is an emergency nobody will be able to get ahold of me which is never the case. Anybody else feel this way?

Sometimes in the middle of the holiday season I just want something green. There are cookies everywhere (I mean- I’m not complaining) but by around December 15th my tastebuds feel like they are burned off due to excessive holiday indulgence (I’m looking at you, vino). So, naturally, my body is begging for more green.
You too? ok good.

Cheese! Ooey, gooey goodness. So tasty you will want to lick the bowl clean!
I have never been one for those mystery ingredient vegan cheese substitutes. They never really made any sense to me. If I need to avoid dairy for my health why would I put said mystery ingredients into my body? So, I have played around with making my own but I think I really hit a home run here. Are you ready for it?
This creamy, dairy free pumpkin sauce is everything. I used it here in a velvety ‘risotto’ like dish but I feel like this sauce would also be delicious on some gluten free pasta or add some nutritional yeast for a mac and cheese flavour. NOM.
