If you could only eat one food what would it be?
Mine would definitely be avocados. Guacamole for every meal. YES.
Me and guacamole are true love.
And sometimes, it’s nice to dress my true love up. Like with green apples and jalapeños. Still simple, and yet a little bit extra. This Green Apple Guacamole Guacamole is refreshing, tart and the perfect game time snack!
Are you ready to give it a go?
What happens when the best of two world’s collide? Like, say when hummus and guacamole combine their powers of amazingness to make one dip of delicious?! PURE MAGIC PEOPLE. That is what this avocado cilantro hummus is. PURE MAGIC.
Take the best elements of guacamole- hello cilantro and lime juice- and combine them with chickpeas (because why wouldn’t you?) and you get this dip that you can take to any party, event or just eat at home by yourself. I mean, you love yourself don’t you?
Let’s get to this recipe. It’s creamy, flavourful and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I call that a winner. Want to try it? Read on friend.
Do you ever have those days where the thought of turning the stove on makes you feel like you’re melting? Because this is ME. RIGHT. NOW.
slowly melting into a giant puddle….
Which is why blender soups may just be the best invention ever. When you can just throw a whole bunch of green, savoury things and herbs into a blender and it comes out delicious- what kind of magic is this?
So when it is 35 degrees Celsius outside and you are too hot to move this is what you make. A cold blender soup that is jammed with greens and herbs.
Tasty, refreshing, easy and nutrition packed!

Well it has been a minute since I have been on here to share a recipe. Last week we were in Hawaii and the internet was just not co-operating so I apologize if you were over here looking for a new post! I have a few Hawaiian inspired recipes coming as well as my guide to MAUI so be sure to stay on the lookout for those!
And now, as the Ontario strawberries are coming out I have this wonderful salad for you. Fresh local strawberries with perfectly ripe avocados and freshly picked mint. The FRESHEST combo out there. 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.

Happy Thursday friends! The bomb cyclone has finally snapped and we are left with rain and a leaky basement. Thankfully, only a small leak, but a leak nonetheless. With the temperature swinging about 30 degrees C back up to around 1 degree C it actually seems quite warm. Cue the smoothies. When it is too cold outside I mostly stick to elixirs and warm-ish smoothies but the odd time I will make a mid afternoon green smoothie to snack on. This is a banana-less creation because let’s be honest- too many green smoothie recipes out there have banana in them! Embrace the banana-less green smoothies people!
