14 Stunning Vegan Dessert Bars

by 1 Comment

How’s it going my friends?

How do you call a rectangle of deliciousness? Vegan dessert bars or vegan dessert squares?

As I was putting together this blog post, I was met with 2 problems. The first one was, how do I decide which recipes to share (there are so many great ones!) and what title to give to this post. Seriously.

I ended up choosing dessert bars as vegan dessert square sounds like a place vegans meet up to enjoy lots of dessert. A place where all the desserts are square. Squares cakes, square ice cream and square doughnuts … how would one go about making that last one exactly ?

That was my nonsensical segment.

In all seriousness, if you are a fan of everything sweet that comes in a bar/square format, then you are in for a treat.

Check it out!

Keto Pho | Vietnamese Style Noodle Soup

by 2 Comments

Hi there foodies, how’s your summer going? Yes, summer might be approaching its last weeks, but it is still summer, and every summer day is precious here in Montreal. During the summer, there is one place that I like to go to quite often. It’s called Pho Ong Rau. In my opinion, although some of my friends have disagreed with me, it is the best place to enjoy a hot bowl of Pho.

It’s not surprising that me and my friends could not agree on where the best bowl of Pho is served. It’s like trying to find agreement on who serves the best Pizza or the best Poutine.

It’s a great way to waste an evening.

How’s it going my foodies? Are you feeling the heat? The summer Sun? The sleepless nights? The typical summer laziness? Or is it just me?

No matter how lazy I get, for me, it’s never too much asking to fire up the BBQ and throw together a summer feast. It gives me the chance to be outside, to enjoy the summer and just be myself.

I love it.

Today’s dish is one of my new favorites. It’s simple, it’s healthy and it’s very easy to put together. It’s a Cajun-Style Grilled Chicken served with crunchy green beans.

Keto Chicken Salad | BBQ Grilled

by Leave a Comment

Hey friends! Qu’es ce que sup? I hope you are enjoying the summer time. For us who live in the northern hemisphere, we know and appreciate the fleeting beauty of summer. It makes the months of June, July, August and September so special.

One thing I don’t like to do during summer is cook complicated, time & energy consuming dishes. Turning on the oven turns my apartment into a sauna.

This why, I decided to make this Keto Chicken Salad by grilling the chicken … outside. That and chicken always tastes better when it is made on a charcoal BBQ.

Always.

Guacamole, or Guac (as my stoner friends like to call it) is one of the most popular dips in the world, and it’s pretty easy to see why. I mean have you tried the thing? IT’S AMAZING. It also happens to be a low-carber/ketoer’s dream, if said person is trying to get more healthy fats into their day without eating butter (lol). With this Keto Guacamole Recipe, I tried to push it as far as I could.

We all know that Guacamole can be so different from one cook to the other, and this version has all of the things that I love about Guacamole. ALL THE THINGS.

Homemade Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte For Every Budget

Do you buy coffee ? I don’t mean coffee grounds, I’m talking about a good old cup of joe. A recent survey suggests that Americans spend on average over 1000$/year on coffee which comes down to 3$ on a daily basis. Sounds like a lot, but I can say in all honesty that in my case at least it was true.

Until I bought my espresso maker and decided not to waste my money anymore.
