Despite the fact that I love seafood, I don’t have many seafood recipes posted on here on EBF. I’ve decided it’s time for that to change! To kick things off I’m sharing a delicious and healthy salmon recipe today. The best part about having fish for dinner is that it cooks super fast and you […]
How to make roasted cauliflower better than ever by adding delicious Italian flavors! I’m in love with roasted vegetables. They brown at the edges and get so sweet and delicious. Way tastier than steaming or sauteeing them, definitely. What I love even more than their flavor though is how much easier they are to make […]
This tortellini, spinach and chicken soup is a delicious meal made all in one pot that will leave everyonesaying yelling, “THAT WAS GOOD!” No seriously, that’s what we all said (kids and adults alike). If I could eat this soup every day this winter, I would be happy. You guys, this is a soup that you […]
It happened. Something I thought would happen eventually with two boys. We had our first broken bone this weekend. 🙁 Poor Baby Bee ran down the hallway, his brother started after him, and boom, down Baby Bee went and from the way he screamed, I knew something was really wrong. Once we got him to […]
Come Fall, I take comfort in fuzzy boots, soft sweaters, and GIANT bowls of spicy, slurpy soup. And although September is hardly the heart of the season, I say it’s never too early to start filling up our recipe boxes with easy, healthy, cozy soup recipes. I’ll hold off on the chili for another month […]

Sometimes all you really really want is a cookie! Am I right? But buying a bag is dangerous. Cravings hit and before you know it, you’re scraping the bottom of the bag for more. And they can be garbage in every sense : artificial ingredients and colours added, preservatives and even GMO’s! Then there are the […]
Lately we’ve been on a peanut butter kick! PB hasn’t been a real craze around here for a long time. But once upon a time I was addicted to this stuff. Seriously! And um… who does not remember their childhood chocolate and peanut butter fave? – the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? Oh hello! I don’t […]
I’ve been making this Creamy Red Lentil and Kale Soup for a while now, and it’s taken me a long time to get it to where I could finally say…perfect! Normally when I make it, it has a broth-type of gravy and it was “ok” and everyone ate it, but I just wasn’t feeling it. […]
I wish I could take credit for thinking of this idea for perhaps the most exciting D.I.Y. Friday recipe post yet—but I can’t. That honor belongs to Michelle Beck, a super helpful fellow reader (if you’ve asked a question on Facebook, there’s almost as much of a chance that she’ll answer as I will!). These D.I.Y. instant noodle […]

Cookies and cream is among one of my favorite flavors in the dessert world. Whether it be ice cream, cupcakes, or even just the plain and simple cookie. Luckily you can find this sandwich cookie in a vegan version at your local health food store (Late July Organic Cookies are a good choice). This creation is […]

Snacks are important because they control hunger between meals and can provide extra nutrients for a balanced diet. Snacking on the wrong foods can really blow a diet and add heaps of extra calories with very little real nutrition. This can destroy weight loss plans and is the reason why most diets fail, especially long-term. […]

I grew up with this recipe. When the chickens were not producing eggs, this is the cake my mom baked. It has no eggs and no butter and no milk and that is why it’s called Wacky, but it is oh so yummy. You won’t be messing up a bowl or your mixer for this […]

Like chicken noodle soup for grown ups. And vegetarians. A one-pot soup filled with vegetables, garbanzo beans and orzo pasta. Finished with a generous squirt of lemon juice for a bright + bold fall soup. October is National Pasta Month! Although, I have been celebrating all year. It’s no secret that I have an extreme love affair with […]

This Chocolate Chia Smoothie recipe tastes oh-so-decadent, but is actually really good for you. And it’s vegan and gluten-free! I’m not quite sure how it happened. But somewhere along the lines of the last 2 years of self-employment, after years of a late-to-bed-late-to-rise musician schedule, I have now officially become a morning show person. Still […]
I think you become an adult when you start making your own pasta sauce. Oh, and paying your own bills. That’s also important. I don’t remember exactly this happened for me, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in the kitchen. I used to live on jarred pasta sauces (and vending machine food) in my college […]
Little white balls of fluff… who knew they could worm their way into your heart so easily?? Just four years ago we brought these Maltese litter mates home at 10 weeks of age and weighing just over a few pounds each. They tested every bit of patience I had as they chewed, bit and peed […]
