Finding balance to avoid burnout

14 July, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 14 Comments

Finding balance to avoid burnout via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Isn’t it ironic that I missed almost a week of posting right after talking about self-sabotage and how I plan to overcome it? But for once it wasn’t self-sabotage that kept me away from the blog. What actually felled me this week was balance or rather, a lack thereof. It seems that every Tom, Dick

Remember those summer berry galettes I shared a couple weeks back? Well, I originally wanted them to be strawberry rhubarb mint chocolate galettes. But the produce aisles weren’t cooperating and I wasn’t able to find rhubarb before the recipe redux deadline. So when I finally spotted some last week, I snatched up a bunch and

the truth about self-sabotage-and-selling-yourself-short via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

With the exception of my weight-gain confession, this post is probably one of the hardest I’ve ever tried to write. But since I made a promise to share more about things that matter to me, I knew I’d eventually have to talk about my struggles with self-sabotage and selling myself short…out loud. [Tweet “A few

After taking an unscheduled break from all things ice cream last weekend, we’re back with another #IceCreamSundays special. And although I’m pretty sure I say this every week, this recipe is probably my favourite so far. Why? Five words: Vegan S’mores Ice Cream Cupcakes.

So the day has finally come. It’s time for me to share my 8th and last recipe for the Marinate recipe challenge with you. Our ingredients for this week were amaranth, coconut flakes and maple water and for once I wasn’t completely stumped when it came to deciding what to make. Because I always knew

There won’t always be a perfect time

30 June, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 16 Comments

There'll never be a perfect time. Stop waiting and start doing via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

One of the reasons I love blogging so much is because it documents how much I’ve grown as a person. But there are times when I come across a post that just shows me how much I’ve regressed. And when that happens, it really, really sucks. I recently came across a post I wrote in 2013 on

Maple Chai Roasted Chickpeas

28 June, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 24 Comments

These crunchy protein-filled vegan maple chai roasted chickpeas are slightly sweet, subtly spiced and the perfect healthy snack for munching. via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

As I continue to transition to a plant-based diet, getting enough protein in my diet is still one of my major concerns. I can manage with lunch and dinner and I’m working on breakfast. But protein-filled snacks are still a problem for me. Luckily, these maple chai roasted chickpeas help fill that void now. I know what you’re thinking.

15 Vegan No Bake and Frozen Desserts that aren't Ice Cream via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

So it finally happened. I don’t have a new #IceCreamSunday recipe for you today. I haven’t been feeling well for the last few days so I decided to take a break from the kitchen. But, I didn’t want to totally leave you hanging so I thought I’d go in a completely different direction this weekend and

So apparently, I can go for 3 plus years without posting an alcoholic recipe on the blog. But as soon as I break that seal, I need to post two in less than a month. Can’t say I’m mad about it though because these spicy blueberry peach shrub margaritas are everything I never knew I

Why I started sharing my struggles on the blog

23 June, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 21 Comments

Why I get personal on my healthy living & food blog via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I think it’s obvious that I’ve started ramping things up around here. I’m posting more often than ever instead of taking weeks off at a time whenever I feel to. And I’m basically starting to treat the blog as more than something I just do for fun. I’ll talk about that more in a few

Spoiler alert: This vegan summer berry mint chocolate galette recipe is probably the most complicated thing I’ve ever shared on the blog or made in real life. But I promise you, it is 100% worth the effort. [Tweet “Summer Berry Mint Chocolate Mini Galettes #vegan #TheRecipeRedux”]

This has to be my favourite Ice Cream Sundays recipe so far. Kidding. I’m pretty much obsessed with them all. But can you blame me? I mean, what’s not to love about yummy cold treats in this blazing hot weather we’ve been having recently? Especially when they combine a few of my favourite things like these vegan
