    • Strawberry Smoothie Dessert

      Strawberries.  The word alone can conjure up images and thoughts of red, vibrant, juicy sweetness.  Is there anything better than a big bowl of fresh, local, organic strawberries?

      20130704-102022.jpg

      Honestly…I can’t think of anything even close.  Summer to me equals yummy, fresh picked berries.  Lots and lots of berries.

      Last week I received 4 quarts of local, organic strawberries with my CSA share! I felt a little like Strawberry Shortcake in Strawberry Land.

      I was super excited and a tad bit worried.  How would my family consume 4 quarts of berries without letting them go bad.  Local organic berries have a very short shelf life.  A couple of days, max. Continue reading →

    • Little Power Bombs. Rustic Veggie Lentil Soup.

      Lentil love can be profound.  Rich, creamy, melt in your mouth goodness topped off with excellent nutritional value.  For lentils, I’m always in.

      Lentils can serve as the base for so many simple, healthy and cheap meals.  You can’t get much better for a high nutrition/low cost combo.  High protein, high fiber and  an excellent source of iron.  Power packed into every bite.

      What a great way to reduce your weekly intake of meat, yet not compromise on protein.  A night or two of “meat free” meals is a great way to add a little detox to your diet.  Let your body have a rest from trying to digest heavy meat.  Lentils are also wonderfully light on your wallet.  A great two-for-one deal.

      Added to soup, cooked up into a tasty Indian spiced dahl (see pic below) or added to fresh salads…the options and taste variations are endless. Continue reading →

    • Travelling with food intolerance? Here’s some tips…

      Posted at 2:01 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 20, 2013

      Booking vacation is so exciting. The thought of a new city, unseen sights and all of the possibilities that await. From the time you book, until the day you depart, the excitement begins.

      Once planning begins, the reality sets in for all of us who suffer from food allergies or intolerance.   What to eat the entire time you’re away? Three meals, each and every day.  Just thinking about the food planning process can be exhausting. Continue reading →

    • Simple One Dish Wonder-Hello Dutch Oven!

      Posted at 3:17 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 5, 2013

      20130605-093839.jpgI love the versatility of the Dutch Oven.  You can cook on the stove top or in the oven. I love that I can cook anything from a large batch of soup to a whole roasted chicken dinner (including potatoes and veggies!)

      One pot, one mess, one incredible meal…count me in!

      Dutch ovens can be a somewhat expensive investment, but  they are well worth the price tag.  I’ve had mine for close to ten years and I use it daily.  When you factor in how many cooking hours my pot has already seen and how many more it will still provide for me…the investment seems small and the payoff large!

      My dutch oven truly is my go-to pot. Hands down. Continue reading →

    • Simply Sides…

      Posted at 4:33 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 3, 2013

      20130603-103037.jpg Maple Drizzled Sweet Potatoes, Oregano Roasted Potatoes with Lemon and Garlicky Button Mushrooms. Need I say more?

      I would like to share a few of my go-to and favourite side dishes, which I call, Simply Sides. I love them because they all have few ingredients, take only a minute to prep and go with almost everything. The real bonus is the oven temp and time is the same for all three dishes. Three simple sides that pair well together for taste as well as cooking convenience. Love it!

      Sweet potatoes are little nutrition powerhouses packed with the good stuff…they even say sweet potatoes can help stabilize blood sugar levels! I find that potatoes and mushrooms are great company pleasers. What’s better on a busy night than a simple side? 3 simply sides! Continue reading →
