• 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

  

  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!

  

  Watering the strawberry plant

  

  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 →

• Sweet Strawberry & Basil Carrot Puree

  Posted at 11:29 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on May 21, 2014

  

  I decided I needed to make something today with the delicious organic strawberries and fresh bunch of fragrant basil I had sitting on my counter.  I opened my fridge and found a lonely bag of organic carrots.  I wasn’t sure if the pairing would work but what the heck, I gave it a shot!

  After one lick of the spoon I knew I had made a good choice.  The sweet carrots, juicy strawberries, fresh squeezed lemon and coconut oil combined into one creamy, smooth, melt-in-your mouth puree dish.  What about the basil? It definitely came through.  The puree had a very subtle pepper & slightly sweet basil flavour.  Perfect!

  I really love how simple this puree is to make.  I steamed the carrots until super soft, drained and then tossed them into the Vitamix blender with the remaining ingredients.  Voila!  A delicious and elegant side dish.  This dish looks fabulous garnished with fresh slices of strawberry.
