Bow Glacier Falls & Iceberg Lake in Banff National Park

We had a truly stunning day when we hiked into Bow Glacier Falls & Iceberg Lake in Banff National Park. We had everything from blizzard weather to beautiful sunshine for these stunning views. Bow Glacier Falls is a popular hike in Banff because it’s a gorgeous set of falls. And the hike around Bow Lake to get there is exceptionally beautiful as well.

We hiked into Bow Glacier Falls, and then scrambled to Iceberg Lake above it on September 26th, (2019). We knew it was getting late in the season to reach this location, but we were there just after the first skiff of snow fell. It was lucky timing because the scenery was incredible. But just 2 days later it would have been near impossible to get in to this lake until the next season.

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Turkey Chili

This Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Turkey Chili is the perfect easy recipe when you want comfort food with no fuss & minimal cleanup! It simmers away in the slow cooker all day filling the house with mouth watering smells that will make you hungry when you walk through the door. It’s bean free and perfect for loading up with all sorts of toppings. It’s also Whole30, paleo, and gluten free as well.

I really hated chili growing up. I mean we’re talking so much dislike that I would gladly go without dinner if I could. Whenever chili was on the menu, I would eat about 1/4 cup chili with a big bowlful of toppings, (yay for toppings)!

Dairy Free Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash

This Dairy Free Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash is a healthier take on classic comfort food. It’s ultra creamy and perfectly hits the spot when you’re in the mood for a cozy meal.

Ever since I posted my Life Changing Rosemary Mushroom Cream Sauce recipe, the dairy free requests have been rolling it! I guess we all really love a good cream sauce right? And while we do eat some dairy, we like to keep it mostly to cheese and butter.

Thai Style Broccoli Salad with Sweet Chili Lime Dressing

This Thai Style Broccoli Salad with Sweet Chili Lime Dressing is packed with flavor and naturally gluten free and dairy free as well. I pairs perfectly with simply cooked meats for the easiest of dinner simply loaded with veggies.

This may well be my favorite broccoli salad yet! Probably because of the addicting Southeast Asian flavors. And… what’s not to love? Juicy chunks of mango, crunchy bell peppers, and a sweet chili lime dressing topped with toasted cashews.

Mango Madness Smoothie

This Mango Madness Smoothie is so good it’s actually addicting with it’s deep mango flavor. It’s easy to make and packed with bright flavor and Vitamin C.

It’s an orange madness around here today! I bought a case of delectable champagne, (ataulfo) mangoes, and they’re creeping into everything. If you haven’t tried champagne mangoes yet – be sure to look for them. They’re less fiberous than regular mangoes and they have an addicting sweet flavor.
