a pacific northwest flexitarian life
This raw, sprouted, gluten-free and vegan breakfast (or all day) snack really is a power smoothie in a crisp.
This breakfast inspired snack is perfect for backyard picnics with your loved ones and with only 10 items needed – including Okanagan Rawsome Carrot Crisps, it’s an easy shopping trip.
It’s officially fall y’all, and that means toasted open faced sandwiches smothered in ooey-gooey melted cheese.
Despite my Scandinavian roots and growing up on endless rye, I’m not really a “bread” eater. My husband however could easily eat a loaf a day if I didn’t interject his bread feasts with my cooking. Bread is the life of his appetite. I don’t even think he can eat a breakfast that doesn’t involve bread. So when I say, Nick we are eating bread tonight, I know I get bonus wifey points. The only thing that could make his stomach happier is if it also included pasta. I swear carbs are his food wife.
This Vegan snack is guaranteed to please the pickiest of eaters at your table – even your curious toddlers, and it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. High Five!
Coming home after a long day at work I want nothing more than to put something quick and healthy out on the table to sustain the appetite of my forever hungry family. The faster I get something out, the sooner I can pour myself a glass of vino – hello adult priorities.
How do I keep it fun and interesting, healthy and at the same time quick and visually appealing? It’s actually easier than you may think. If you are like me and horrible with meal prep for everything in-between meals, than you need to read this post for snack inspiration that won’t go to waste. Did I mention everything is vegan and local?!
Last week I posted about making Roasted Cauliflower Tostadas and since I had some leftover tostadas, I wanted to show how easy it is to use them for a different kind of meal. Plus, it involves avocado two ways – so I just had to share a new favorite with you.
This week I bring Breakfast Tostadas. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not feed yourself something new and fun. Plus it’s packed with all kinds of green goodness to keep you energized throughout your busy day. Did I mention these only take 15 minutes from start to finish. Talk about a Breakfast of Champs!
Every few months I love to take some time away for a local Staycation – and this post is all about my recent stay at the Vancouver Four Seasons. Lionel Richie was in town, so Hello! The perfect excuse for a Staycation downtown.
When I arrived to check in, the concierge new I was a FS regular and upgraded my room to an executive suite, complimentary. Hello! I also received a personalized card from their GM Martin Sinclair, who extended welcoming tuxedo strawberries and sparkling wine.
