BANANA WALNUT MUFFINS

BANANA WALNUT MUFFINS

I feel like everyone should have a banana muffin recipe. Whether it’s passed down from your grandmother or you saw something on the food network. It’s one of those recipes that you keep with you and can create over and over again. I always have 

HORCHATA

HORCHATA

Horchata is a rice milk drink popular in South America and Mexico. Each country has their own version but the base is always rice milk. This recipe is quick and easy and closer to the Mexican version. You can even spike it with Rumchata or 

DANDELION TEA LATTE

DANDELION TEA LATTE

I love coffee, but this is a nice caffeine-free alternative. I use dandy blend. It tastes like instant coffee that’s a bit malty. This latte is sweet and creamy and the perfect caffeine-free beverage.

MINT TEA

SESAME SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Lately, I have been trying to get more veggies into my diet without eating salads all day. These sugar snap peas did it for me. They are raw, crunchy, sweet, and salty. The sesame oil gives them a wonderful nutty flavour. They are so quick 

BANANA COCONUT MUFFINS

BANANA COCONUT MUFFINS

As with most banana muffin or bread recipes, it starts with you having a bunch of bananas sitting on your counter that you were going to eat or make a smoothie with. But the days went on and now they’re black so your only option 

GREEN SMOOTHIE

GREEN SMOOTHIE

Smoothies are my favourite everyday dessert. I use kefir for its probiotic properties. It’s a fermented milk drink that has lots of good bacteria. Coconut oil has so many health benefits and when I first heard of adding it to a smoothie, I was skeptical,
