I’m starting a series of post where I’ll be working with all the nice veggies we are getting from our garden, our local farm or all the different farmers markets. Vegetables should not only be used as a side dish. There are different ways to use them, not only in a salad or your soups. You can … Continue reading
If we need ideas in winter for soups, it becomes the same in summer for salad! We want to have a variety as much as for our side dish as for a brunch table. The other day I pre-cooked some quinoa for my Triple quinoa and chocolate muffins but I still had some left over. Quinoa is … Continue reading
I wanted to fully use quinoa for this recipe. Since we are currently in “Rhubarb season”, I just thought it would be great to combine these two ingredient to make a nice healthy breakfast. Now you can easily find quinoa under several forms. Grain, flour, flakes, puffed. Now here, I used three of these forms. I … Continue reading
For those of you who have kids, school is finished and camp is starting. I need snacks!!!! 🙂 Healthy trail mix is a must. They’ve been asking since the beginning of the week for some, but I was a bit lazy with the heat we’ve had in the past few days. It’s not an exaggeration to say that … Continue reading

What else than coconut can represent the tropics! 🙂 These … Continue reading

With all these chemicals added to all the chocolate spreads, I don’t buy them anymore. Even getting the organic ones, they still contain some added fats that are not necessarily healthier, even if organic, like palm oil. I had in mind to make one that would not contain added sugar either. With cocoa powder and dark chocolate, I had to … Continue reading
Maybe it’s the first rays of sun that we haven’t had for the past week, but it starts to smell spring! Not very warm for a month of May, but…. 🙂 like I say “If spring doesn’t come to me, I go meet him!” And what is more estival than a salad. I decided to … Continue reading

There are also so many gluten free flours, it’s so nice to play with them. They all have their characteristic. I find buckwheat flour is a great substitute for whole … Continue reading
