Pear, Spinach and Cucumber Green Juice
What a refreshing way to start your day than to have a freshly made vegetable juice! Green juices are especially healthy because of all the chlorophyll in it. Chlorophyll is like the blood of life from plants. It contains many nutrients that our bodies so desperately need in the fast-pace modern society we live in….
Healthy vegan egg replacement and vegan low-gluten pancakes: no dairy, no eggs
I’ve done it. Thick, fluffy and light as air pancakes without any eggs or dairy. For my vegan friends and those who are allergic to eggs, this is great for you! I made these on Sunday morning, and although hesitant at first, my husband tried them and loved them! (recipes below) Although I do eat…

Fresh Chèvre, heirloom tomato and shallot tartine was…
Sleep to a better skin

5 min Strawberry, Rhubarb and Apple Pie (sugar-free, low-gluten, soy-free, dairy-free)
Ok, I lied. Technically it takes longer than 5 minutes because it takes 25 minutes to bake, but only 5 minutes of prep time! 🙂 When strawberries are in season, like right now (if you’re living in the northern hemisphere anyway…), I want to enjoy these delicious fruits fresh or barely cooked, so this is…

If you missed the previous articles, I’ve already talked about my 20 km run…
