I think I may be coming down with something, because this is my second savoury recipe in less than two weeks. Usually I’m lucky if the blog sees two savoury recipes a year, far less in the same month. But, like the vegan kale walnut pesto pizza from a couple weeks ago, this Vegan Pumpkin

Like yesterday’s vegan pumpkin bread recipe, pumpkin spice granola was something I knew I had to make once I’d decided to take part in #pumpkinweek2015. At first, I’d planned on just adding some pumpkiny goodness to my regular granola recipe. But a nearly empty jar of rolled oats almost foiled my plans. Luckily, I had some steel cut oats left

Remember a couple weeks ago when I shared that roundup for fall-esque recipes that don’t contain pumpkin? Well the break from pumpkin was great, but it’s time for me to jump on the bandwagon once again. Starting with this Vegan Cranberry Walnut Pumpkin Bread.  [Tweet “Cranberry Walnut Pumpkin Bread #recipe #vegan #pumpkinweek2015”]

20 Healthy Hidden Veggie Snacks & Desserts

20 healthy hidden veggie snack and dessert recipes via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of salads. I like vegetables well enough, but there’s just something about eating a bowl of lettuce or spinach that doesn’t usually appeal to me. Recently I’ve actually been craving salads a bit more, but generally speaking, getting enough vegetables in my diet isn’t exactly

5 Tips for dealing with Dietary Restrictions at Holiday Parties

5 tips to help you navigate holiday parties with food restrictions and allergies via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada and I spent the day with friends, just hanging out, enjoying the surprisingly good weather and, of course, eating. I usually get a little worried when attending potluck type events because of my dairy free food restrictions. However, I’m not the only one in this group of friends with food

Roasted Veggie Pita Pizza with Vegan Kale Walnut Pesto via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I can’t remember the last time I posted a savoury recipe on the blog. I make no secret of that fact that I adore sweet breakfasts and desserts, and I share recipes to that effect. But, yesterday I made a simple Roasted Veggie Pita Pizza that I topped with Vegan Kale Walnut Pesto, and just had to share

Lessons learned from occasionally going meatless

7 October, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 11 Comments

6 lessions learned from occasional meatless eating via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

As I mentioned in my Thinking out Loud post a couple weeks ago, I’ve been staying away from meat for the last couple weeks. My foray into meatless eating actually started way back in secondary school when I randomly decided to go vegan and was positive I could do it for the long haul. Obviously that didn’t happen,

5 tips to help you be productive when trying to study or work from home via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I’ve always been one of those people who liked the idea of being able to work from home. But, I also thought I would love being a runner, and we all know how that turned out. Unfortunately, like running, working form home isn’t something that comes naturally to me.  I know what you’re thinking, why not

18 Fall Desserts and Snacks that DON’T Contain Pumpkin

2 October, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 25 Comments

18 Pumpkin Free Dessert and Snack Recipes to enjoy this fall via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Before I moved to Canada sweet pumpkin recipes weren’t even on my radar. We’re all about the savoury pumpkin recipes on my island and I was a-okay with that. But now that I’ve been immersed in North American with pumpkin sweets for the past 5 years, they’re basically all I think about once summer starts to

5 tips to help you stay active and fit this Fall via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

It’s been unseasonably warm for most of the month, not that I’m complaining, but this week is gearing up to be decidedly cooler. So, as much as I hate to admit it, the summer time weather will be coming to an end soon. There are many things I love about the fall: candles, cozy sweaters, boots

It’s been way too long since my last chatty type post and even longer since I linked up with Amanda for Thinking out Loud Thursday. So, today I thought I catch you up on a little of what’s new with me. New Blog Design! Obviously, first up is the blog redesign. If you’ve been around the

Vegan Slow-Cooked Coconut Raisin Rice Pudding + a Giveaway

Vegan Slow-Cooked Coconut Raisin Rice Pudding via Ricardo Cuisine and @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I always think of the slow cooker as something that should be used exclusively in the colder months, so I feel a little silly writing writing this post while basically melting from the heat. But, in my defence, when I pulled my Crock Pot out of hibernation last weekend to make this Slow-Cooked Coconut Raisin Rice
