Cacao Coconut Bliss Bowl

Snack time for Snacking Squirrel gets a little bit messy...

This raw vegan mess was simply scrumptious and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Sliced banana topped with melted Artisana's Raw Cacao Bliss Coconut 

Butter and paired with 1/3 of Art Of Raw's Spiced Cacao Goji Maca Bar

So refreshing on a hot day since I threw it in the freezer for a few minutes to chill

Qi'a Superfood Cereal

New Qi'a Superfood Superseeds & Grains Oatmeal/Cereal

150 calories of supergrains and seeds, a perfect kick-in-the-butt breakfast

I was excited to try Qi'a after seeing it in the store and let me tell 

you it is delicious! The texture of the chia seeds really adds a nice bite 

I give Qi'a Superfood Cereal a 4.5/5 for its

 great texture, earthy flavor, and robust heartiness

Holiday Grinch Parfait

Starting the week off with another festive breakfast

I'm calling it my "Holiday Grinch Parfait"

1 cup plain yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp superfood

 greens powder and 1/2 Tbsp ground flax seeds

Then I sliced 1/2 medium banana into the yogurt

 mixture and sprinkled red and green smarties on top

Then eat!

Besides the green hue of the yogurt, I'm not too sure why I call this a Holiday Grinch 

Parfait; It was the first thing that came to mind, so I'm open to other interpretations 

Question: Have you bought any holiday candies like red and 

green smarties, chocolate santas, candy canes, gummy wreaths,

sugar plums, Christmas jelly beans, marshmallows, or caramels?

VegeGreens and Turkey Cheese Tortilla Wrap

Colourful Fruit and Kefir Parfait

Nectarine slices, little Green Grapes, and Concord Purple Grapes

Progressive VegeGreens Blueberry Medley Super Food Greens Powder

I added a scoop to the Kefir Yogurt before mixing with the Fruit

"A comprehensive blend of over 60 phytonutrients including super green foods, 

land, sea and cruciferous vegetables, EFAs, herbal co-factors and probiotics"

Non-Medical Ingredients: Stevia Leaf, Organic Maple Syrup Powder, 

Natural Blueberry, Cranberry, Strawberry, Raspberry and Boysenberry Flavours

All combined together in my favourite glass- 

the only one left since I broke the other glass

I was surprised at how sweet the Green Grapes were. 

These little seedless spheres really satisfy a sweet tooth!

Oven Baked Egg, Cheese, Chicken, Mustard and Vegetable Tortilla Wrap

I scrambled 2 Egg Whites with Zucchini, Spinach, Dinosaur

/Black Kale, Onion and Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey Breast 

before topping with Mozzarella Cheese and Yellow Mustard

Tucked into a Brown Rice Tortilla before baking 

the wrap for 3-4 minutes in a 375 Fahrenheit oven

Autumnal Equinox

Fall is officially here, and not just in the colours of my Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

Italian Prune Plums and diced Green Apple mixed 

with Greek Yogurt, straight from the yogurt container

Liberté 0% Plain Greek Yogurt

I stole one of these Green Food Powder 

Packets from my brother to use in my Parfait

As Seen On TV greens8000 Delicious Berry 

Flavor with Acai Berry, "Feel the Greens!"

Complete with Alginek Support, Powrak Essential, XtraImmunAid, WildBerry

 ImmunAid, and Ez-Go Digestox Plant Enzymes & DAIRY FREE Probiotics

Sprinkled half of the Green Food Powder on top of the Yogurt and Fruit

Then I put the lid back on the container and shook it up... shaken not stirred

The Stevia in the Greens Powder adds a nice sweetness to the Plain Greek Yogurt

You know what's better than Garage Sales?

The Free Stuff people leave out on the curb!

While I was walking home I noticed this Cash Register sitting among 

an orange tweed office chair and badly worn oak wood filing cabinet

When I was a little girl I would play with plastic toy cash registers, longing for

the day to have a real one of my own. Well, at 22 my dream came true! So for

 10 minutes I lugged this beast all the way home in pain with a smile on my face

Jalapeno Poppers, Nachos, Taquitos, Tacos, Taco Salads, Enchiladas, Quesadillas, 

Mexi Pizzas etc. Definitely from a Mexican Restaurant considering these buttons

Would you like to add Guacamole with that?

Do I dare admit that when I came home to plug it in, the realization

 that it was broken came as a blow to my happiness... hence the reason 

it was on the curb in the first place! Oh well... time to play pretend, again!

Here's a bit of a twist on my Roasted Kabocha Squash Recipe

After baking the Kabocha Squash a.k.a Japanese Pumpkin in the oven, I 

squeezed an assortment of Mustards on top, sprinkled with Nutritional Yeast

Spicy Brown Mustard and Yellow Mustard

Tucked underneath is chopped Broccoli Crowns

Question: What did you eat today as

your first meal for the first day of Fall?
