Keeping it short + sweet this week with these Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I’d love to say this was my recipe, because they are so freakin’ good, but no, these babies are courtesy of Texanerin Baking. And let me tell you: they taste like the real deal. Buttery, with ooey-gooey dark chocolate, crisp outside and

Energy-Boosting Spirulina + Blueberry Chia Pudding
I am obsessed with this Spirulina + Blueberry Chia Pudding. Like obsessed. For one, it’s mermaid coloured–oh, it’s just so freaking pretty. And for two, most importantly, you can not taste the spirulina. But spirulina? It tastes like swamp water. It just does not taste good. And whenever I taste it, my gag reflex gets going, and

Coconut + Cacao Pecan Paleo Granola
Happy Sunday! My brain feels like it’s made of fluff today: the remnants of having a social life for once, and drinking one too many Old Fashioneds. Not that I’m complaining: it feels wonderful to get out of the house and connect with friends. But all things (pole) fitness have gone out the window in

Aubergine Chickpea Stew with Apricots + Mint
Oh weekend, where did you go? I always assume I’ll have more lounge time, but then, after running errands, cleaning the house, doing bloggy-type things and going to the gym, it’s suddenly Sunday evening. It’s actually been a lovely weekend. There was a date night with Allie, that included drinks and going to see I,

Green Detox Juice (No Juicer Needed!)
Happy Family Day! (a.k.a. pajama + lounge day) I am super excited to share this wicked easy recipe with you. Like super excited. Why, you ask (tentatively)? Because, YOU DON’T NEED A JUICER FOR THIS. Okay, let me take you back down memory lane for a second, alright? Years ago, I bought a juicer. And

Chocolate Chai Banana Bread {paleo} + a chat about LGBT visibility
Hello lovely humans! It feels like it’s been a hot minute since we last spoke and there’s a reason for that: pole fitness has temporarily (maybe forever) taken over my life (again). I finally renewed my membership to my local pole gym and now I’m basically too sore to do anything except shallow breathing

Queer of Hearts: gay things that I am loving right now
Okay, we’re trying something new on the blog today–and I’m not going to lie: I’m a little nervous. If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, or if you know me at all (you have all my sympathy), then you know that I’m gay. Like real gay. And if you’re new here (welcome!), well

Rose, Cardamom + Raspberry Chia Pudding
My lazy weekends are not as lazy as I wish they were. Things keep on popping up and filling up my schedule. Sleeping in lasts until 7 am, and suddenly before I know it, it’s Sunday, and late in the afternoon. Anyone else feeling that? For now though, I’m enjoying the quiet: I type away

Tilapia + Kale Piccata {paleo}
This has been such a wonderful weekend. It started Thursday night with belated birthday drinks with some friends. And then a movie night with the girls on Friday involving sappy movies, wine, and all the snack food. Yesterday I met with a friend for coffee (and a matcha latte for myself, as I’m still trying to

4 Winter Supplements To Take Daily
Here’s the thing: I’m a big fan of getting your vitamins and minerals from food. For one, it’s super delicious, and for two, you get a variety of vitamins that work synergistically together in a form that is bioavailable to the human body. That being said, when it’s winter–and here in Canada, winter is a loaded word–I
