    • 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 →

    • Happy Tummy & Cold Busting Tea

      Posted at 7:34 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 24, 2014

      SimplyWholeFoods_Tummy_Tea

      Winter can have a tendency to leave people feeling dragged down.  I often feel as if the bitter winter will never end.  On our way to school each morning my son has begun asking “When is spring going to come?”

      Spring where are you??  I’m pretty sure most of us are ready to say goodbye to Winter for another year.  Even my five year old is fed up with the cold weather and short days!

      When winter has me feeling run down (or I’m worried that I may be coming down with a bug), I often turn to a homemade tea.  Tea can be so soothing and comforting. Continue reading →

    • Dark & Decadent Chocolate Bark-The Perfect Valentine’s Gift

      Posted at 3:41 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 11, 2014

      SimplyWholeFoods_ChocolateBark

      Dark chocolate is definitely one of my favourite indulgences.

      Is there anything better than a hot sip of coffee followed by a bite of rich dark chocolate?  It immediately melts into a smooth and creamy moment of pure bliss!

      With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there is no better time to make some handcrafted chocolate.  What’s a more fitting way to say ‘I love you’ than with a gift of homemade Dark & Decadent Chocolate Bark?

      I’m delighted to skip the expensive chocolate stores and inflated prices of Valentine’s Day merchandise.  I also get to avoid all of the iffy ingredients (refined sugar, preservatives) found in store-bought chocolate.

      You can get quite creative and personable with this gift.  A classic tin lined with wax paper or parchment paper always makes for a pleasing package.  

      I’m considering heading to the craft store and picking up some clear gift bags.  I’d love to secure the bag closed with some cooking twine and attach a personalized gift tag.

      This bark has a mere 3 ingredients for the base.  The toppings are optional and customizable to taste.

      • Raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
      • Raw cacao butter
      • Honey

    • Egg Muffins Anyone?

      Posted at 12:03 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on January 10, 2014

      Mmm, I love these customizable egg muffins. They make such a cute and perfect little package.

      Eggs alone are considered one of the most complete proteins on the planet but why stop there?  Let’s give it even more nutritional punch by packing in some iron (baby spinach) and also the fresh taste of dill.  These egg muffins combine to create one healthy, delicious & simple breakfast.  If you don’t like dill and spinach, simply substitute with a fresh herb and a veggie of choice.
