Tyler’s favorite dessert is apple pie, or pretty much anything apple cinnamon related. So over the years, I’ve developed lots of recipes with that combo in mind from this Apple Crisp with a Twist to my Cinnamon Crunch Apple Pie Smoothie Bowls . But unfortunately like we were talking about last week with my Chicken Pot Pie Pasta recipe, gluten free pie crusts can be really problematic. They tend to get gummy with too much moisture....
These apple muffins are inspired by a memory of muffins I used to make back in the days of white flour and sugar. They were chock full of apple chunks, and had the perfect amount of cinnamon in them. Needless to say, they were pretty much my favorite way to welcome in the fall season. So many years have passed since I use to make those muffins that I completely forgot about them....
There’s something about the weekend that always calls out for baked goods. Lazy mornings with coffee, and something sweet to nibble on, are one of my favorite things to do in life. Whether we’re at home or out camping in nature, I try and have one morning a week where I’m not tearing off in a hurry to get a million things done. This past weekend we took this Zucchini Bread with us to Glacier National Park ....
I like to challenge my own preconceived ideas about food, especially anything considered ‘healthy’. Despite years and years of small steady changes to my diet to try and eat healthier, it’s somehow still hard for me to believe that ‘healthy’ can be so good. In fact, just a few years ago, I wouldn’t have been caught dead making a cream sauce without actual heavy cream. After all, I’ve always cooked by the motto, ‘if you’re going to do it, well....

This Facial Oil Cleansing Method has been absolutely incredible for my skin! I’ve been using it now for over 7 years and I will never go back to normal face wash.

Goat cheese paired with veggies is a summer tradition for my sister and I. I think it started with homegrown Brandywine tomatoes (where we made a Caprese Salad of sorts), and the combination was so good, it just sort of spiralled from there! Mini sweet peppers turn even sweeter when you put them on the grill, and they make the best sort of appetizer when stuffed with herbed goat cheese....
There’s nothing like homemade soup made completely from scratch, and it’s not nearly as difficult as you might expect. I usually make it in several steps so that it doesn’t take too much time all at once. You start with a perfectly roasted chicken (or turkey) for dinner, and with whatever is leftover you create your stock. From there all sorts of delicious options open up from soup (of course) to a delectably creamy risotto!...
The Iceline Trail in Yoho National Park is such a fantastic hike, it’s hard to know where to even begin! We wanted to get in to see the famous Lake O’Hara, and do some of the hikes in that area, but as you might know that area is difficult to get in to. We tried to see if we could get in on a last minute cancellation, but we didn’t have any luck, (although others have so it’s worth trying)....
Siyeh Pass in Glacier National Park is a fantastic through hike. This is always a bonus because you get to see new sites and scenery all day long! The trail head, (pictured above) begins at Siyeh Bend on the Going to the Sun Road. It comes out about 10 miles later at Sunrift Gorge where you can catch a shuttle. The trail shares the same start as Piegan Pass , and starts off along Siyeh creek....

This recipe actually started out as a turmeric face mask, but that didn’t end very well. I’d been seeing recipes for turmeric face masks everywhere, and they all said something along the lines of ‘try it and see how your face just glows’. Hmmm… try it they said – you’ll glow they said – well let me tell you what, I did glow after using a turmeric facial. The only problem was I was glowing like and Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!...
