Jen — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:00:00 +0000

It’s hard to believe that it’s already almost Easter… {Ummmm, wasn’t it January just a couple of days ago?! I’m certain it was.} Either way, it’s about time Miss G and I get busy with some Easter fun, and we decided we’d start with baking up something delicious in the kitchen along with our friends… Read More

Wholewheat Sugarless Apple Strudel {a bake off}

Jen — Fri, 29 Nov 2013 16:00:00 +0000

There is no doubt that Miss G and I miss our Canadian mama and munchkin friends terribly despite being very happy here in the desert. Two of those pairs include Tairalyn of Little Miss Mama and her little lady, Sofia Marie, and Hillary of Hillary with two Ls (please) and her petit monsieur, Grady. … Read More

Summer Strawberry Shortcake {with Wholewheat Date-sweetened Biscuits}

Jen — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 06:43:08 +0000

Nothing says summer quite like fresh strawberry shortcake, and since our kitchen is currently overflowing with berries after this morning’s trip to Krause Berry Farms, I thought Miss G and I would experiment with a healthier, wholewheat, sugar-free version this afternoon. The unfortunate part is that our little old house was sitting at 31 degrees,… Read More

A Delicious First {& a Recipe}

Jen — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 06:08:59 +0000

This happened tonight… Miss G’s first ever ice cream cone. And oh my goodness, did she ever love it. Before we knew it, all that was left was sticky fingers and a drippy chin and dress. She’s already planned our next two flavours too – pumpkin with cinnamon first, and then strawberry afterwards. There’s… Read More

Healthier Peanut Butter Oat Cookies

Jen — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:13:04 +0000

Gracen and I have experimented with making many different versions of healthier peanut butter cookies – cream cheese ones, two ingredient ones, banana-based ones – but sadly, none have ever turned out really well. Late this afternoon, however, when she randomly declared that “We should make cookies! Yummy no sugar ones that Gracen can… Read More

Healthier Mini Mason Jar {Birthday} Cheesecakes

Jen — Wed, 01 May 2013 05:43:45 +0000

Yesterday, when I told Gracen that we’d be celebrating Papa’s birthday soon, the first thing she said was, “We need to make a cake!” Then she went on about painting him party hats and getting 3 pink gifts, but I digress. Originally, I was thinking about doing two cakes. Something delicious and wildly unhealthy from… Read More

Healthier Banana Fudgesicles

Jen — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:55:28 +0000

The other night, Brad went out for Saturday night movie treats after G was in bed. I requested a fudgesicle, and he came home with a box of 18. Oy. Several fudgesicles into the box, I decided we’d better come up with a healthier version, stat. Here’s our line up of ingredients… Frozen banana chunks,… Read More

Healthier Chocolate Puff Squares

Jen — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:15:50 +0000

Now that Miss G is a little bit older, we’ve definitely loosened up a little in terms of what she eats. While ‘treats’ in the past may have included roasted chickpeas, kale chips, or popsicles made with almost strictly mango and yogurt (all things that pack a pretty decent nutritional punch), nowadays, some ‘treats’ are… Read More

Oh my goodness. After our morning cooking class at Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. where the lovely Suz shared more of her secrets, Gracen and I whipped up a batch of this sweet, satisfying popcorn treat. It’s ridiculously delicious. Here’s the line-up of ingredients… Pure maple syrup, coconut oil, dried apples (we dehydrated our own,… Read More

{Heart-Shaped} Strawberry Crispy Rice Treats

Jen — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 07:50:09 +0000

I must admit, since creating our first batch of healthy{er} crispy rice treats, we’ve made several batches since. The good news is that through all of the ‘testing’, we’ve learned that they last really well in an airtight container on the counter, they can be made into fun shapes using silicon moulds and ice cube trays, and… Read More
