ByCeara July 11, 2014July 28, 2023

Since coming back to Canada a couple weeks ago I’ve been indulging in lots of fruit including fresh and frozen wild Canadian blueberries.

Pecan Cashew Butter

ByCeara April 27, 2014July 28, 2023

I kinda have an obsession with nut butter. I love everything about it – it’s creaminess, nuttiness, and the way that it tastes devilishly good slathered on practically anything. One of my favourite all-time energy boosting snacks is a sweet banana dipped and slathered with silky smooth almond butter. Even though I love almond butter in…
