    • This is Your Next Healthy Snack. Introducing Brussels Chips!

      Posted at 3:23 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 8, 2014

      Oh sure you might know about kale chips… but did you know about brussel chips??

      Crispy, salty, bite size deliciousness… these characteristics make for some quality snacking.  I have pencilled in some quality snacking for today’s agenda and I always keep my appointments!

      Next time you make some brussels sprouts, don’t toss out the outer leaves that are sometimes removed for cleaning.  Set them aside and wash them well.  These are the lovelies that will be getting crisped up with some lemon and dill.  They make an awesome healthy snack for movie night (or whatever crazy shenanigans you’re getting into tonight).  Your movie might not be great but this idea certainly gets two thumbs up.

    • Best BBQ Burger with Carrot Greens

      Posted at 8:20 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on June 2, 2014

      SimplyWholeFoods_Best Burgers

      Nothing beats a summer BBQ!   Especially when the food is quick to prep and tastes amazing.   I just love being able to spend time outdoors  and eliminate the need to heat up the kitchen in the hot summer months.

      While the food grills on the BBQ, the kids get important outdoor time where they get to play in the backyard and soak up some healthy Vitamin D from the sun.

      If you follow me on social media sites (instagram, facebook, twitter) you have probably seen me posting outdoor pics recently.  We fixed up our deck and installed a new gate so I’m really looking forward to making some great memories in the backyard this year.

      I’m currently setting up some container gardens and have ordered the parts for a raised garden as well.  I’m excited for the prospect of fresh, home-grown organic produce and herbs!   I’ll try and get some pics posted when I have the raised garden setup.  Any tips are appreciated!

      Yesterday my son planted his own herb garden.  He now has a little space of his own to experiment with.  He will be in control of his little garden bed so we shall see how that goes.  I plan to hold him accountable!

      Summer musings out of the way, I’ve got a super amazing recipe for you!  It’s a delicious, mouth-watering burger that will hit the spot! It’s also very simple to make, I promise. Continue reading →

    • Shredded Napa Salad with Lemon Dressing & Bacon

      Posted at 9:25 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on May 6, 2014

      I LOVE making different salads, slaws and veggie hashes with my food processor.  (As a side note, if you’re looking for a good food processor then I highly recommend the Breville BFP800XL.  I previously used a KitchenAid model and I much prefer this unit!)

      Along with my blender, I consider my food processor to be a mandatory appliance that has earned permanent residence on my kitchen counter (prime real estate!).  It’s good to know my hand and wrist will not suffer from the never ending chopping, mincing and shredding.  Did you know that carpal tunnel is a real risk for cooks?

      Here is the recipe for my latest salad experiment using the shredding attachment of the processor.  I find shredding the salad greens and veggies really helps my family consume greens in larger amounts without realizing it.  Sneaky! Continue reading →

    • The Simple Things in Life – Like Chili Rubbed Sweet Potatoes!

      Posted at 8:53 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on March 19, 2014

      20140318-195514.jpg

      Happiness to me is being surrounded by loved ones and enjoying simple pleasures.  And of course good food is usually involved in there somewhere.

      When I examine my life it really does seem to be the simple things that I enjoy and cherish the most.

      I don’t need to go out for fancy dinners too often.  I don’t need to purchase the latest gadget or have the trendiest wardrobe to be happy.  Almost the opposite really… I much prefer home-made meals.  I only purchase things when we can afford them and when I do, I try to invest in items that will last a long time.  I don’t keep up with the latest trends in fashion as the stress of seeing all that money leave my wallet each season would be too much for me!  Also, I just don’t get bored with things that fast I guess.

      What are some things that make me happy? Continue reading →

    • Irresistible Indian Dahl Soup Bowl

      Posted at 7:36 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 28, 2014

      Creamy lentils, caramelized onions, garlic, cumin seeds with a burst of intense Indian flavours?  Oh yes!  How good does that sound?

      I was delighted after taking the first spoonful of dinner last night.  I really love a good soup!  I was left with a spicy tang that kept me wanting more…and more!  I must say thank you to my kitchen friends: Indian spices, fresh lemon juice and hot peppers.

      I’m actually going to cook another batch today.  I know it’s an exceptional recipe when eating the same meal two nights in a row seems like the best idea ever!

      Lentil soup is quite filling and wholly satisfying.  One bowl would definitely serve as a main dish for most people.  I didn’t need that second bowl but I’m a real sucker for Indian inspired food with some heat!

      The level of spice depends on how many hot peppers you add.  If you prefer mild, you can cut the hot peppers in half (or even leave them out).  When I reduce the hot peppers by half, the soup is mild enough for my children to eat but still has a subtle heat.
