We’re switching things up a little bit today in Ceara’s Kitchen! Instead of my regular #WIAW posts here are some random facts about me – the girl behind #cearaskitchen 🙂 I was elected for the Liebster Award from my friend Laura over at Raise Your Garden. I’m honestly blown away by her gardening skills &…
How was your Fall weekend? It is seriously cooling down there too? I heard it snowed in Toronto last weekend and it’s really starting to get chilly here as well (*though, last year it didn’t snow at all in Belgium – a big stretch from my -30 blizzard-filled winters during my undergrad in Ottawa!). And look…
Is it okay if I share a couple more pumpkin recipes with you this season? Honestly, there have been sooo many good pumpkin recipes floating around it’s hard to know where to start. And things have gotten pretty pumpkin craazzayy around here this Fall. I mean, I’ve been putting pumpkin in almost everything we eat….
How do you pre-plan your meals when things start getting seriously busy? Like when you are going home in under 40 days and still have upteem papers you need to write and what feels like a million things to do in between. I know it can be hard to eat well when life is busy…
Some days you want to go for a long run and some other days you want to go for a nice, long morning walk, admiring the city you live in and all it has to offer. This is a bit of a different spin on the regular #MoveitMondays post. I though I’d share with you…
The other day I sat beside a cheerful, chatty 11 year old on the train who spoke four languages – four. We conversed in French on the train (his third language) and he couldn’t get over the fact that A) I just spoke two languages and that B) my family just speaks English. He seriously couldn’t get over how…
Today is an exciting day here at Ceara’s Kitchen! I started this blog over a year ago as a way to share some of my favorite feel-good eats reinvented into healthy *but equally as good ways*. As many of you know, I also started this blog to help me heal from my past of disordered eating –…
It is 51 days until Christmas. And 46 days until I go home to Canada for the holidays. BAHH!! I can believe Halloween is over and that I already feel like rejoicing, setting up my Christmas tree, getting my Christmas baking on and getting out my Michael Bublé Christmas album. Too soon? How was your Halloween by…
My love for all things sweet and chocolate is no secret. I never say no to dessert and always look forward to the last and *best* course. And that’s probably why most of the recipes of #CearasKitchen are sweet eats. I love dessert and am all for indulging in decadent and rich desserts once in…
It doesn’t take long to know that I looooooooove to enjoy food. Good Food. Basically, all food. 😉 But it seems that everywhere I look we are told we shouldn’t enjoy what we eat or at-least attach some sort of guilt to what we are putting on our plate. And I lived like this for most…
As many of you know I am not a pro-runner or pro-athelete by any means. Let’s be honest, when I was a kid, I usually was the last one chosen in gym class and up until a few years ago the idea of me running seemed like a totally unreachable and unreasonable goal. When people talked about “running”…
I’ve been enjoying these Flourless Pumpkin Oat Blender Pancakes every Sunday for the past few weeks. J and I like to go for a long run together Sunday morning. And by together I mean we start at the same pace and after a couple minutes he is way ahead of me until he becomes a…
I get asked a lot what I eat. People usually ask me this after finding out that I am a vegetarian (and that I eat a vegan, plant-based diet 98.5% of the time). I think people are just naturally curious and I totally understand why. I’ll never forget the first time I met a vegan…
This weekend was one of those weekends that was just great. A belated Belgian-Canadian Thanksgiving, good food, family, and an awesome 10k family race on on Sunday morning followed by post-run pasta and a movie night with J that involved popcorn smothered in dark chocolate, pecans and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt (#yesplease)….
This week I celebrate the one year anniversary of Ceara’s Kitchen! And can we just take a moment to celebrate with this Life Changing Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Hummus? I know it’s not seasonal guys, but I’m seriously ahhh-dicccted and I’ve been eating this hummus straight from the fridge with a spoon (#sorrynotsorry). This…
At the beginning of the month, I love to set goals for myself. It is almost like with every month I get a fresh start to improve or work on myself in some way or another. And at the beginning of each month, I am usually all like: “This month, I am going to run…
Things I learned since moving to Belgium: They do not sell canned pumpkin puree here. Chia seeds and a lot of other superrr foods are only sold in special shops. And everything in those special ships is wayyyy overpriced. I mean, who can afford 8 euros for a tiny bag of chia seeds that will last me less than…
If you know me in any shape or form in real life you know that I am pretty clumsy, a bit uncoordinated and have fallen, on more than one occasion, flat on my face while walking down the street (without wearing high heels #truestory). So as you can imagine, my first time doing yoga was pretty comedic…
I am so happy the chilly weather has finally settled in here (you know you are Canadian when). Now I can clearly justify eating all the comforting soup, pumpkin muffins and pulling out my cute Fall boots without any problems. Here are some random things, recipes, tidbits, Fall yummies and links I am loving lately from around the…
There is something about baking that is so therapeutic. I love creating new desserts in the kitchen, measuring out the ingredients, tasting the homemade dough along the way (always), adding a bit more or this or that and waiting anxiously for the final dessert to pop out of the oven while my entire apartment is…
