it’s kind of a known fact that photographers generally don’t like being photographed… in this case, with my friend slash client who also works behind the lense, she was no exception 😉
congratulations, kate!
{fun facts about flavourful forbidden rice}
20 Jul
{colourful, too!!!}
———
fun facts about flavourful forbidden rice {also known as “black rice”}:
– it’s {drumroll, please}… gluten-free!!
– it’s rare {which to me, just immediately makes it cooler!}
– it is cultivated in small amounts – in its early days, was only harvested for the emperor {of china!}
– helps support a healthy heart and healthy cholesterol levels
– it’s rich in iron and offers a comprehensive range of amino acids
– it is much higher in protein and fiber than any of its cousins – brown, white, or purple
– makes a fun “risotto” or sticky pudding
– is extremely fragrant and beautiful on a plate
– gentler on the body, easier to digest than its cousins
– contains high levels of antioxidants {i mean, duh – look at that colour!}

you can find forbidden rice in health food stores or online. these days, you could probably even find it in your local grocery store, as i notice many of the mainstream chains are stocking more and more of this kind of thing as of late. 🙂
{“drink the rainbow” : berry-cream vitamix smoothie!}
16 Julit’s been a while since i’ve done a post about a vitamix smoothie! however, it’s that time of year when i find myself wanting to eat a little less and drink a little more. the heat of the summer causes us to sweat out toxins and i find that my body craves the freshness of a cold fruit smoothie to help replenish vital minerals.
berry-cream vitamix smoothie : frozen blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and peaches, with fresh dates and coconut milk
do you sometimes do what i do?
…catch myself feeling guilty for not drinking more smoothies, so i’ll run out and buy a bunch of stuff to make them with, but then i don’t make nearly as many smoothies as i said i would, and those yummy ingredients go bad in the fridge. and nothing upsets me more than wasting food! {and money, for that matter!}
well, may i suggest something i do in order to avoid wasting precious resources?! just keep canned or boxed coconut milk in the house and/or fridge! you can purchase coconut milk in aseptic {shelf-stable} containers. why coconut milk? well, i personally prefer coconut milk for the healthy fat content as well as the the fact that the coconut is pretty much one of the most amazing things on the planet! not only is coconut milk loaded with vitamins and minerals, it’s also great for your heart, your hair, your skin, your nails… shall i go on?! furthermore, i’ve created the habit of freezing any overripe fruits that i buy, and that way i always have the two main ingredients i need to make a smoothie!
of course, you can also add in spinach or kale to get a little extra vitamins and nutrients. for this concoction, i kept it pure and simple. just frozen blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and peaches blended with fresh dates and coconut milk. it’s light and fresh and only gently sweet. dates are nature’s candy! they are loaded with potassium and create a little sweetness without adding in unnecessary calories or sugar. and this smoothie is perfectly refreshing on a hot summer afternoon!
drink the rainbow!
{cherry season!}
14 Jul
cherries are so good for your heart, your muscles, your skin, and a myriad of ailments. they are in prime season right now – go out and grab some!

{meatless mondays : red quinoa with grape tomatoes, fresh corn, and black beans}
6 Jul
this {vegan} dish is totally protein-packed and nutrient-rich. i just love quinoa, don’t you?!
and did you know that quinoa is considered a complete protein… which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids. this makes it a wonderful protein-source for vegans. the black beans in this recipe add in healthy fiber, which is a great combination with the quinoa!
i can eat these grape tomatoes like candy!
and believe it or not, colorado boasts growing some of the best sweet corn in the US!
summer is for corn!!!! Continue reading

{red white and blue… cookies!}
2 Jul
i made these yummy cookies in 2012 for the holiday, and it’s become a tradition ever since.
it’s no secret to those who know me well, that i am not a good baker. i can whip up things in the kitchen over a skillet pretty amazingly, but one can’t “wing it” when baking… it is a legit science! and i respect that… i just can’t seem to nail it.
but i did with these cookies! Continue reading
