What are the holidays without STUFFING?! Please don’t make this just for your ‘special’ guests (that are on restrictive allergy-friendly diets). This is a recipe for EVERYONE to enjoy because it is gluten-free and vegan and that means no wheat, gluten, dairy, chicken stock or butter (high cholesterol causing ingredient).You’ll love this recipe. Make a ton of it, as I’m certain it will be the main course. Vegan & Gluten-Free Stuffing Ingredients: 11 cups of fresh or stale gluten-free and vegan ½” bread cubes (I use a Quinoa bread from Thornbury Bakery) 2 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp olive oil (go for a good quality brand) 1 Tbsp melted Earth Balance – I choose Soy-Free 1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced 1 cup organic onion, finely chopped 1 ½ cups organic celery, finely chopped ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped finely 1 tsp dry rubbed sage 1 tsp dried…

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year! First of all, I’d like to share this very special love note to all of our staff that works with us at Lettuce Love Café and Kelly’s Bake Shoppe. There are now 34 of you. xo Sometimes right our of nowhere we get zapped into a grateful moment and it propels us into a very deep reality of realizing how VERY blessed we are and puts us into a state of gratitude or bliss and profound happiness. That’s how I’ve been feeling every day lately… right to my very core of heart-warming overwhelm of love, devotion and gratitude. It’s not like I didn’t realize it already. For me it was like falling deeper in love with all of our staff and this warmth came radiating out of me. I was looking at all of you and saying to myself, “all these lovely souls set…

I just wanted to take today to share with you all as to how incredible it is to live, work and play in Downtown Burlington. I am so blessed! I wanted to share with you why living this way has become so important to me and to focus on all the good stuff. I sometimes don’t realize how great I have it until we travel to other towns and cities and get a chance to see how others live. We always drive away and say, “Wow, we have it so good back home in Burlington!” With a population of about 187,000 in the City of Burlington overall and a downtown core population of about 6,500, I’m beginning to really be grateful and love and enjoy the more quiet, yet vibrant, hustle & bustle of Burlington over living in Toronto from my previous years. As the years pass, I experience more blissed-out mornings…

Thank you Julie for choosing to feature us on your blog today for “Thankful Thursday”. What a concept that you created by putting people in that state of mind of gratefulness every day of the week and experience more joy – by subscribing to your website. Erinn and I are so grateful for what we do and every day is an absolute blessing to be able to “BE” exactly where we are, together and building this delicious and healthy ‘cupcake empire’.
