      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 →

    • 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!

      With any type of food intolerance or allergy it can feel as if you are drowning with nowhere to go and nothing to grasp on to.

      It’s easy to feel lost in a sea of gluten-free prepackaged foods (which are often nutrient void and extremely expensive).  The high cost and lack of good recipes can make committing to an allergen-free diet an overwhelming prospect.

      I have spent countless hours searching the net for gluten-free and dairy free bread recipes that don’t contain yeast or sugar.  Often times, I’ll end up with bread that tastes like cardboard.

      One day I stumbled upon the Paleo diet.  I was introduced to a world of delicious food this is all dairy free, gluten-free, soy free, grain free and refined sugar-free.  Luckily, the diet is not taste free or nutrition free – it’s quite the opposite actually! Continue reading →

    • Orange Banana Tropical Breeze Smoothie

      Posted at 9:01 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on August 22, 2013

      There’s nothing that says breakfast better than a large cup of fresh pressed OJ alongside bacon (nitrate free of course!) and eggs! I always like to add a side of kale.

      Here is a twist on the traditional glass of orange juice…still simple with an added banana coconut flavour burst and a great protein boost!

    • Coconut Protein Pancakes

      Posted at 11:40 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on August 12, 2013

      As a mom of two precious toddlers and a devoted wife, I take food prep seriously.  I feel a strong sense of responsibility to provide clean food that will help my children grow into strong, healthy individuals.  I also want to live a long and healthy life with my husband by my side.

      20130810-163721.jpg
      That being said,  it’s essential that I  provide optimal food fuel for my entire family.

      I plan on traveling the world one day, with my husband by my side, drinking wine in Rome, sake in Japan and climbing the hills of Scotland (I should probably start saving now).  I need us all to be healthy for years to come!! Continue reading →
