Roasted Cauliflower Cream Sauce

August 24, 2015 by Angie

This one’s a game changer! I completely lightened up one of my favourite sauces of all time with this roasted cauliflower cream sauce. No butter, no heavy cream, not even milk. If you’re looking to reduce your fat and calorie intake and increase the veggies, you’ve got to give it a try!

There’s all sorts of ways to use it too. The obvious being with any kind of pasta. But have you ever tried a cream sauce as a base for pizza? So good!! This would be amazing with chicken and broccoli, rice, you name it! I’m going to try it all, you can bet on that….

Peach Pie

August 21, 2015 by Angie

I have to tell you about the peach issue I had. It’s been bothering me all week! I can’t even think about it without squirming. I was making peach jam, going along my merry way when I sliced into one of the larger peaches, twisted it in half and out of the pit came a bug of some sort. It kind of looked confused like it hadn’t seen the light of day in quite some time. The nasty thing slithered out and because of my panicky shaking motions, ended up down the drain. Gross!! I then took necessary precautions of pouring scorching hot water down both drains and plugged them with sink stoppers. I read once that ear wigs sometimes make their way into peach pits. Shudder!!

Probably not the best way to start blog post about this delicious peach pie but I assure you only non-bug infested peaches made their way into the recipe. This pie almost used up the remaining box I brought back with me from holidays. I was able to can boozy peaches, froze a bunch of individual slices on cookie sheets, made peach jam (that ruined my week) and now on to this pie. The remaining few will most likely end up in our green smoothies or as bed time snacks for the kids….

Herbed Chickpea Salad

August 18, 2015 by Angie

I made this salad to bring along on our latest vacation. It was great to pull out something healthy to go along with the usual picnic suspects (chips)

Herbed chickpea salad is loaded with veggies, fibre and protein and packs extremely well. We found it got better as it sat in the fridge. The couscous soaks up all the flavor and adds a nice texture to the salad. …

Boozy Cherries and Peaches

August 16, 2015 by Angie

What better way to use up fruit than to drown them in Bourbon and Kirsch. I made boozy cherries and peaches this afternoon and can’t wait to use them in cakes, drinks and over ice cream!

We just got back from our two week vacation in Southern BC and I brought back a lot of fruit!…
