Dark Chocolate Strawberry Truffles I’m not usually one to celebrate Valentine’s Day as I believe everyday is a day to appreciate a loved one, whether they be a partner, a family member or a friend. But, I do love to experiment with new dessert recipes as dinners are at least a once-a-week affair at our […]
HOT PINK BEETROOT HUMMUS + SUMAC-DUSTED PITA CHIPS With the weather changing and turning into real Summer, I’m craving more vibrant foods and thus have been trying to add more color to my dishes. And as hummus is one of my favorite foods, I decided to start playing around with different recipes. Pea Hummus, Lentil […]
PISTACHIO & PARSLEY PESTO It’s June and normally, the sun would be shinning and I would be taking every opportunity possible to be outside. But Paris has been very rainy and cold as of late. I’m still in a sweater and my Icelandic socks (a recent purchase as I was there a few weeks ago), […]
Lime-Infused Bounty Bars Growing up, I have always been a big chocolate and coconut fan – the combination of creamy and slightly textured coconut, covered with rich dark chocolate, melts in your mouth. But as I’ve taken sugar out of my diet, I no longer have the desire to eat a candy bar. I do, […]
Raw “Bulk” Snack Bars {V, GF, RSF} This weekend was glorious. The weather was amazing and we spent Saturday walking around the city and Sunday in the forest of Fontainebleau with Marc’s brother, Pierre, and our two nieces, Lison and Sasha. I continually found myself looking up to the trees…there was even a bit of […]
Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies {Vegan} A rainy Sunday in Paris = a trip to the bookstore, a visit to the rue de Bretagne brocante (one of my favorites of the year) and a stop off at Le Marché des Enfants Rouge for some fresh thyme and beautiful lemons. With Marc at work and the house […]
Cauliflower & Tomato Quinoa Salad While spending some much needed downtime in Burgundy over the holidays, I managed to bring some staples from Paris to cook with the delicious produce we were able to find in the small villages close to Chiddes. A more plant-based diet means that when traveling, getting my hands on quinoa […]
MAPLE & LEMON PEAR COMPOTE | V, GF, RSF Almost every year, in an effort to begin the new year in as “zen” a state as possible, Marc and I often rent a house in the middle of the countryside. This year, we chose Burgundy, an area which neither of us had ever visited. From […]
QUINOA CHOCOLATE BARK {V & GF} With Christmas around the corner, Quinoa Chocolate Bark is a deliciously simple recipe to make either as a dessert, or a gift for loved ones. Plus, it can be made both vegan and gluten-free. I love this recipe because it’s super easy to make and the quinoa acts as […]
FALL VEGETABLE & CHARD TACOS {V & GF} On a recent trip to Deauville last weekend, we stumbled on a lovely gentleman selling mini vegetables! Two of my favorite things! Eggplants of all shapes and colors, dark red, red, orange, yellow and green bell peppers and even fresh paprika, which I had never seen! It’s […]
