BECAUSE IF NOT, YOU'RE MISSING OUT!

Yes, that's right - Quinoa. Superfood and grain extraordinaire that you are using to cooking in water like rice. Except in the granola you use it raw, and it turns into these crispy crunchy little bits that work perfectly!
I decided to get experimenting to create my own recipe. After some trial and error, I've found the perfect, easy combo for a slightly sweet, nutty granola that I'm sure you'll all love!]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2021/01/easy-crispy-quinoa-granola-recipe.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/how-i-weekly-meal-plan-for-stress-free-dinners-free-weekly-planner-pdf.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/how-i-weekly-meal-plan-for-stress-free-dinners-free-weekly-planner-pdf.html#respond Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:00:44 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12668 IT'S THAT QUESTION I DREAD: "WHAT SHOULD WE HAVE FOR DINNER?"

Or, how it seems to have adapted into, "What's for dinner?" - insert eye roll emoji here. 
Meal planning wasn't something I ever saw myself doing before having a toddler, and yet it's become something that massively helps me in my weekly schedule. I am one of those people who loves routine, but doesn't want to feel like I'm living for my routine if that makes sense (can you tell I'm a Gemini!?). Meal planning always seemed so... involved. ]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/how-i-weekly-meal-plan-for-stress-free-dinners-free-weekly-planner-pdf.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/getting-back-into-routine-with-hellofresh-canada-discount.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/getting-back-into-routine-with-hellofresh-canada-discount.html#respond Mon, 31 Aug 2020 20:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12560 IT'S BEEN A WEIRD, WEIRD WORLD THESE LAST FEW MONTHS FRIENDS.

*Instant Pot has entered the chat.*

If you aren't using your Instant Pot (I know there are many of you out there that haven't taken theirs out of their boxes!), you are missing out. If you aren't using it in the dead of summer heat, you're really missing out.
Imagine cooking a balanced, family-friendly meal, all in one pot? And you don't have to stand over the stove watching it bubble and boil? Yes please!]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/5-family-friendly-instant-pot-recipes-great-for-beginners.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/easy-artisan-sourdough-starter-cracker-recipe-sourdough-discard.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/easy-artisan-sourdough-starter-cracker-recipe-sourdough-discard.html#respond Mon, 22 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12399 2020 MIGHT JUST BE KNOWN (AMONGST OTHER THINGS) AS THE YEAR EVERYONE TRIED TO BECOME A BREAD BAKER. 

Some of you may have even ventured into making sourdough starters, which is something I actually did about a year ago. Since then, I've explored a few different recipes for yummy uses for my sourdough starter besides just sourdough bread (which I've also been baking like crazy).
One of my favourite recipes, and possibly one of the easiest is for these artisan sourdough crackers...]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/easy-artisan-sourdough-starter-cracker-recipe-sourdough-discard.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/04/vegan-meringue-cookies-aquafaba.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/04/vegan-meringue-cookies-aquafaba.html#respond Wed, 08 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12204 MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MERINGUES WITHOUT EGG WHITES.

Say what!?!
I know it sounds strange because meringues have always been made of egg whites. Heck, that is what meringue IS! But what if I told you, that you could make these delightful little, melt in your mouth, treats with a secret ingredient you likely have in your pantry already? And it's got no dairy in sight!
This recipe makes the perfect little Easter treat, or make them larger in a nest shape, fill with fruit and whipped cream and have the lightest, sweet dessert!]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/04/vegan-meringue-cookies-aquafaba.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/03/easy-vegan-vegetarian-recipes.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/03/easy-vegan-vegetarian-recipes.html#respond Wed, 18 Mar 2020 07:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12089 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/03/easy-vegan-vegetarian-recipes.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/02/meal-prep-overnight-oats-recipe-pineapple-coconut.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/02/meal-prep-overnight-oats-recipe-pineapple-coconut.html#respond Fri, 28 Feb 2020 08:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=11901 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/02/meal-prep-overnight-oats-recipe-pineapple-coconut.html/feed 0
