I love pomegranates, they’re such a fun food, like nature’s version of Gushers. Remember those? Do they still make them? If they do, please don’t eat them… Eat pomegranate instead! The fruit gives you that burst of sweet tart juice, and a little crunch. You really can’t go wrong pairing […]
I’m going back to school. What will I be studying you ask? Well, I bet you already have a pretty good idea. It has to do with food and health, both topics I am extremely passionate about! I am officially a student at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. I am becoming a holistic nutritionist. When […]
You all know how much I love my instant pot, right? It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker, sauté-er, steamer, and warmer. It really is an amazing kitchen tool, and NOW there’s an incredible AIP cookbook specifically for the Instant Pot! Yahoo! I feel honoured to be a part […]
We live in Northern Ontario, so once fall hits, we know it won’t be long before winter begins and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. I DO enjoy the change of seasons though, and fall is one of my faves. I love that the weather cools off, but not too cool, […]
I am in love with wild sockeye salmon, in love, and with good reason! It is tasty, nutrient dense, and a huge component in my healing journey. I’m aiming to reduce inflammation, so it’s imperative that I up my omega 3 foods, like wild salmon. Wild salmon has a stellar […]
This Peach Plantain Cobbler is an easy grain free, paleo, and totes AIP compliant recipe. The plantain top is reminiscent of cornbread, not overly sweet and is the perfect compliment to the peach filling. One of my dreams is to taste a fresh peach immediately after being picked. We […]
Have I been MIA or what? I promise I haven’t abandoned Lichen Paleo! I’m even back with a summer salad recipe you do NOT want to miss. But first, let me give you a quick update on what I’ve been up to: 3 kids+summer = Mama cray cray Need I […]
I just started bringing my girls to playgroup regularly again after a loooong break. It feels good to get back into going and the kids are loving it. I’m also enjoying some time to talk to other Moms. It has brought back memories of when we lived in Ottawa. […]
I tried out my Mom’s waffle maker one day and absolutely loved it. I knew I needed to buy my own. I settled on this one, since it was inexpensive. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t cheaped out, and bought the same model as my Mom’s, simply because it is prettier. […]
I love cinnamon. I have always been a huge fan of cinnamon. There’s just something about the sweet spicy flavour that draws me in over and over again. I love medjool dates. Pre AIP, Larabars were my go-to snack. A bar made from dates and nuts, brilliant! Now that I’m […]
Last week I was down with the flu, at least I think it was the flu. Whatever it was, it was awful, and this time I really mean awful and not offal! Fever, cold sweats, then horrible coughing for days…. Just awful! But as with everything in life, I try […]
I’m okay not eating desserts that everyone else can eat. I’m even okay watching everyone else eat these desserts in front of me. Seriously, I am okay with it, for realz. BUT when I perfect a treat that I CAN eat, especially an all-time favourite, I get pretty darn excited! […]
