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

Summer quinoa salad
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
Triple quinoa and chocolate muffins
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
Trail mix with maple glazed nuts
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
White beans in “Crock pot”
I’ve been meaning to try cooking dry beans in a slow cooker for a while. There are several reason why you would want to find an alternative way of cooking them other than on the stove.

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

Chocolate nut spread
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
Kale and strawberry salad
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
Blueberry and chocolate pancakes
Sometimes, on weekend morning, we have a more elaborate breakfast. Last weekend, I decided to add some variety to the pancake recipe I usually make. 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
