What's a health-conscious snacker to do? Eat roasted chickpeas, of course! These delicious nibblies are crunchy, flavourful and full of beneficial nutrients.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/01/18/crunchy-roasted-chickpeas/feed/ 16 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/11/02/kale-chips-and-raw-chocolate-go-mainstream/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/11/02/kale-chips-and-raw-chocolate-go-mainstream/#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:00:47 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11834 Wasn't I just as excited as could be when I got the email from the fine producers over at the Marilyn Denis show asking if I would come in and make some healthy treats. Healthy treats are kind of my speciality. Watch the show live streamed or check back after 1:00pm EST for the segment under the cooking category. We threw a few ideas around and settled on my top two lovers: Kale Chips and Raw Chocolate Clusters. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/11/02/kale-chips-and-raw-chocolate-go-mainstream/feed/ 7 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/18/harvesting-the-goodness-out-of-fall-with-prana-bio/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/18/harvesting-the-goodness-out-of-fall-with-prana-bio/#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:00:33 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11590 Well hello there October. I love your beautiful colours and crunchy leaves. Where have you been hiding? I was walking to the Raw Food Power workshop last Saturday and there was a little chill in the air, the leaves were really crispy, and I felt that this was the very first day of Fall. No more swealtering Indian Summer weather going on over here. It's officially sweater and hot smoothie latte time. In this kitchen we sure are getting into the Autumn spirit with everything from Alexa's cozy cookies to orange coloured ice-cream. Sounds pretty good right? It really is the best time of year in my opinion. Just taking a walk in your neighbourhood exposes you to all the goodness of the season. Here are some fun Fall facts: ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/10/18/harvesting-the-goodness-out-of-fall-with-prana-bio/feed/ 71 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/19/soy-ing-the-seeds-of-love-with-edamame/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/19/soy-ing-the-seeds-of-love-with-edamame/#comments Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:00:52 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11257 After the Vegetarian Food Festival last weekend, I was all soyed out. Seriously! Soy was served up in every little shape and size they could dream up. From icing on cupcakes, to dried out beans covered in sugar and cinnamon, they could almost change the name of the event to the Soy Food Festival. What did I eat the weekend of the event? I kicked it BYOS- Bring Your Own Salad/Smoothie. Now it's not that I hate soy... Okay, I do. I do hate it and all the ways it functions like plasticine- getting moulded and blended and cooked and baked into all kinds of things. Soy on it's own, in it's whole organic form is a-okay though. I will actually eat it, love it and feel okay after. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/19/soy-ing-the-seeds-of-love-with-edamame/feed/ 2 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/12/because-6-kale-chip-recipes-arent-enough/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/12/because-6-kale-chip-recipes-arent-enough/#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:00:21 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11131 I love kale chips as much as the next nutritionista and (kale chip lover). Hence my desire to continue creating new and ever more awesome town kale chip recipes that cause me to eat entire heads of kale in single sittings followed by the need to drink about 9 litres of water. And let me tell you- eating a full head of kale in one sitting followed by that much water- well, let's just say that things will be moving and grooving in the colon cleansing department. So if you just met me this past weekend at the veg festival welcome, and you have some catching up to do. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/12/because-6-kale-chip-recipes-arent-enough/feed/ 1 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/12/because-6-kale-chip-recipes-arent-enough-2/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/12/because-6-kale-chip-recipes-arent-enough-2/#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:00:21 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=11131 I love kale chips as much as the next nutritionista and (kale chip lover).

We rush, and rush, and rush so we can have weekends or even better, weeks free to max and relax, travel, go camping, whatever it may be. So the timing was just about perfect when this amazing package arrived for me in the mail from one of our most amazing supporters, Navitas Naturals. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/07/22/friday-superfood-loving-inspiration-and-travel-snacking/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/02/14/tantalize-your-tonge-with-these-sweet-nuts/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/02/14/tantalize-your-tonge-with-these-sweet-nuts/#comments Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:00:09 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=8244 Now, who doesn't love sucking on some sweet and salty nuts? I know I sure do. A good handful is usually all you need to satisfy that desire. More than a handful would surely be a waste. Seriously. We love nuts. They are quite the indulgent treat. As adults we crave foods that are high in salt, fat and sugar. So what really could be more addictive than amazing quality nuts lightly tossed in maple syrup and sea salt and dried out to perfection? It really is a true celebration of love in your mouth. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/02/14/tantalize-your-tonge-with-these-sweet-nuts/feed/ 59 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/28/top-of-10-4-chocolate-almond-butter-cups-of-love/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/28/top-of-10-4-chocolate-almond-butter-cups-of-love/#comments Tue, 28 Dec 2010 10:00:11 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=7793 Well, you knew chocolate was coming. This was a sweet a made for my sweet last Valentine's day. More people have told me they made this than any other recipe. No surprise really- who doesn't love a mix of salty nuttiness and chocolate? These really are amazing and if you have yet to try them, you must!]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/12/28/top-of-10-4-chocolate-almond-butter-cups-of-love/feed/ 7
