    • Pumpkin Pie Delight Smoothie

      Posted at 11:23 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on October 2, 2013

      The sweet, creamy taste of spiced pumpkin takes me back to my childhood.  I have always loved baked pumpkin treats and it’s a love I don’t expect to ever leave me.

      Now with two kids of my own, I see the wonders of autumn and fall fun through their eyes.  It’s magical to watch them experience the leaves changing or to see how much fun they have picking out their Halloween costumes.  Pumpkin carving turns into a chaotic and beautiful mess but I wouldn’t change a thing!

      The taste of pumpkin never gets old or boring.  With each year,  I’m beginning to think my love for pumpkin is actually growing. Continue reading →

    • 4 Simple Steps to Making your own Almond Flour

      Posted at 7:06 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on September 19, 2013

      20130918-090423.jpg

      Does the high price of gluten free or grain free flour keep you from exploring the world of alternative flours?

      The cost of gluten free product can be quite prohibitive.  Sometimes I feel like you need to win the lottery before embarking down the gluten free isle of the supermarket.

      Luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way!

      With 4 simple steps you can create your own fresh, fluffy almond flour in the comfort of your home.  The best part – you can grind your own almond flour with a regular high-powered blender (I use Vitamix).  No grain attachment necessary! Continue reading →

    • Warm Peach Maple Syrup! A Delicious Farewell to Summer.

      Posted at 4:00 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on September 9, 2013

      20130905-072315.jpg

      As yet another summer comes to an end, I’ll certainly miss the hot sun filled days, outdoor swimming and fun summer BBQs.

      But those who know me will attest that autumn is my favourite season.

      I’m certainly looking forward to sipping hot cocoa in my cozy, wool sweater with the crisp world outside turning shades of bright yellow, vibrant orange and scarlet red. Continue reading →

    • Almond Pumpkin Seed Butter with Cinnamon, Honey and Cacoa

      Posted at 3:26 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on September 2, 2013

      Whenever I make homemade nut butter, I can’t stop myself from eating spoonfuls right out of the blender.

      The spread is still warm and incredibly decadent!

      It doesn’t matter what I spread it onto… this nut butter has the power to turn something rather bland into something magical.

      Natural nut butter gets major points in the nutrition category.  My personal favourites are almond based butters.  Almond butter is high in antioxidants, can help reduce blood sugar levels and cholesterol and (shockingly!) can assist in weight control.  Almond butter can be viewed as a super food spread!

      You will want to avoid the processed kind (*ahem* Kraft Peanut Butter) as they are often filled with artery clogging hydrogenated oils.

      Hydrogenated oils are a huge no-no and I personally avoid anything containing “hydrolyzed oils”.

      And another good reason to avoid processed nut butters is the process to blend your own is incredibly simple and cost-effective. Use some creativity when making your own and throw in some extra ingredients!

      How does Almond Pumpkin Seed Butter with Cinnamon, Honey and Cacao sound? Continue reading →
