Easy Pumpkin Beans

by Erin B on April 29, 2013

I’ve been seriously time poor lately. I started a new job back in February and after almost 8 years in my previous position, starting in a new role that is extremely demanding has taken up all of my time and brain space. Dealing with a serious health crisis on top of that has been a [...]

Pumpkin & Green Bean Salad

by Erin B on January 29, 2012

Heidi Swanson's Chunky Lentil Soup – Vegan

May 9, 2011

Like many food bloggers, I’m a big fan of Heidi Swanson and her blog 101 Cookbooks. It’s not just the recipes (which are inspirational, to say the least), her photography is also quite stunning. I’ve followed her blog for a while now but I’d never gotten around to purchasing a copy of her book ‘Super [...]

Cheesy sweet roast veggie bake

April 21, 2011

A warm, hearty and healthy dish to help with the transition into Autumn that provides a delicious balance between protein, carbs and fats. It’s not ‘low-fat’ but it’s not going to give you a heart-attack either. After a long week of ‘being good’ and exercising hard this is the perfect weekend treat that is a [...]
