The Best Kale Fruit Smoothie

Inspiration:  Crux Comptoir Buddha smoothie



I often have this smoothie for lunch when I am working.  It gets its beautiful green colour from the kale but don't be fooled - it is sweet, decadent and delicious.  Top with some hemp hearts and puffed quinoa for a little extra texture and crunch.  I hope you enjoy!



Kale Fruit Smoothie:  1 large serving

1 frozen ripe banana, cut in 4 pieces
4 pieces for frozen pineapple
1 large kale leaf, washed and centre stem removed
3 - 4 pitted dates
1 cup of non-dairy milk of your choice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1Tablespoon of hemp hearts (+ more for garnish)
puffed quinoa (as garnish)
protein powder (optional)

Place all the ingredients, except the puffed quinoa, in your blender and mix until very smooth.  Garnish with additional hemp hearts and puffed quinoa.  Enjoy!

French Canadian Baked Beans

I have been wanting to post this recipe for a long time. I made some baked beans a little while ago at the cottage and the house smelled so amazing that everyone who came in commented on it.

Cabane a Sucre Style Puffy Omelets (Cabane a Sucre = Maple Sugar Shack)

Inspiration:  Le temps des sucres - maple syrup time in Quebec. As the snow begins to melt in the Spring, we inevitably start thinking of visiting a cabane à sucre (the sugar shack).

Tourtière du Québec (French Canadian Meat Pie)

One of my fondest food memories is of my mother preparing 10 tourtières at one time in the evening after dinner as she got ready for the upcoming festivities. For French Canadians, this is the time of year when we prepare the Tourtière that will be eaten during the Holidays.
