Another gorgeous, hot day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and it was time to eat. My mother had never had tacos before, so off we went to check out the Taco Bar. Pretty delicious looking tacos, right!? They were indeed! They had quite the variety of vegys and sauces you could add, some spicy, some not, which was fun. But the one thing that kinda grossed … Continue reading ~ Our Taco Bar Visit at the Villa del Palmar Flamingos, Puerto Vallarta ~

I feel very lucky that I was able to spend a week in Puerto Vallarta with my mother! It was a very hot week though … 32 – 34 C in fact with the humidity reaching up to 75%!

~ Saturday Morning Tofu-Vegy Stir-fry ~

I was going to make a Scrambled Tofu, and it turned into a Tofu-Vegy Stir-Fry…. 🙂 It doesn’t really matter does it…. either way, it tasted delicious, scrumptious! Ate that with Bread by Ed, and later, I’ll whip up some rice, and eat the rest with that! 🙂 I cut up an onion, 2 cloves of garlic (would have used more, like 4 or 5, … Continue reading ~ Saturday Morning Tofu-Vegy Stir-fry ~

Guacamole, sprouts, sweet potatoes, edamame, sesame seeds…… the dish was about $12.00. They have delicious … Continue reading ~ Calii Love in Toronto ~

~ A Walk in Squamish ~

Last weekend (April 15), it was gorgeously sunny and I had to go to Squamish (a 40 min. drive south from Whistler) for yet another vet appointment for Donner our dog.  She had been spade a couple of weeks prior and her incision was a little too pink and the doctors were concerned and so gave her antibiotics. This was a follow-up appointment, her third … Continue reading ~ A Walk in Squamish ~

~ Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins ~

I found this recipe on the back of the bag for Roger’s Oats, and have played around with the ingredients a little to make it my own…. Now, I don’t use dairy, so instead I used almond milk, which worked out fantastic! And instead of butter (any kind), I used apple sauce, in fact, I use apple sauce whenever I bake now, NOT oil or butter! … Continue reading ~ Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins ~

~ Creamy Vegetable Curry with Rice ~

This has quickly become a favourite of mine, and my 16 year old son even likes it! So awesome!!  I was given this book, “Oh She Glows“, last Christmas and I have been slowly going through the delicious recipes of Angela’s. It’s a beautiful book and the recipes are so yummy!  Per usual, I have made some changes….. Soak 1/2 cup of raw cashews for … Continue reading ~ Creamy Vegetable Curry with Rice ~

~ A little break at Starbuck’s ~

An hour’s break at Starbuck’s, one of the many Starbuck’s in Whistler. This one is located at the Creekside. I asked the gal if she had any vegan treats, the only one was a multi-grain bagel, which I accepted gratefully, toasted with jam, yum, yum. Then she explained that they did have some vegan chips, apple chips and these “Hippie Snacks“. Coconut clusters with pumpkin … Continue reading ~ A little break at Starbuck’s ~
