Healthy, wholesome, recipe inspiration
Dear cake, thank you.
I have found myself saying this a few times these past few weeks. Can you relate?? There really is something about the comfort of baking- especially when it’s the perfect paleo lemon cake sweetened entirely with maple syrup! Somehow lemon desserts always feel like spring and sunshine and being OUTSIDE! So let’s bring a little of the outside in by making lemon cake and eating it all. Deal?
Let’s do this.
Happy February! With winter in full effect as well as colds, flus and generally an “I’m over this cold weather” feeling I have brought you the simplest recipe today that is warming and also good for you! Hot lemonade. Yes friends, I said HOT LEMONADE. This is my go to warm drink after a long hike or exercise in the winter months. I find it very hydrating and satisfying AND it can help with those darn sniffles that keep coming back. Are you ready to give it a go?
So this is September.
I’m not really sure where the summer went but I am mentally preparing myself for all things apple, pumpkin and cozy.
BUT FIRST- Let’s have one last hurrah with late summer produce by making this light and flavourful tomato and peach salad with green dressing while we still can. It is loaded with juicy peaches, harvest tomatoes and topped with fresh herbs, a soft cheese of your choice(vegan or otherwise) and drizzled with the most amazing green honey dressing. If only I could eat this ALL YEAR LONG.
Is there anything better than tomatoes and peaches when they are in their prime? The farmer’s market stalls are overflowing with every type of tomato possible and perfectly ripe peaches just at the very end of their season. Soon we will be back to winter tomatoes that really, just aren’t the same (at least here in Canada where our season is pretty darn short!).

Are you ready to beat the heat?

Chocolate and Cherries. The combo that is often overshadowed by the ever popular chocolate/strawberries or chocolate/banana. But trust me! Don’t overlook this amazing combo, especially in ‘nice’ cream form.
I’m not sure why I haven’t shared this recipe with you before but it is what we make in our household ALL. THE. TIME. It is incredibly easy, uses only four ingredients, is vegan, paleo and refined sugar free and can be thrown together in a pinch. Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream will be your next go to dessert!
