I can still remember 7 year old me trying to convince my mom that soda floats weren't dessert whenever we went to the Spur or Wimpy diner. Most people don't have the slightest idea what a soda float is, and that's so sad. A soda float is the glorious marriage of a glass of cold soda (my favourite was creme soda) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. When the ice cream starts to melt it makes this fizzy deliciousness. This can be enjoyed with a...

The taste of a summer celebration with a hint of floral and fresh strawberries. Are you a pancake or waffle type of person? Because waffles are basically pancakes with abs. Another reason I believe waffles trump pancakes is because they're the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Debate closed. So let's get waffling! Gluten-free and vegan waffles that are crispy? This used to a myth in the TGR kitchen until now, my friends. And with summer being in full swing what...

With Medjool dates, maca and mesquite for a hint of salted caramel. In general, I'm more of a sweet tooth when it comes to breakfast. I also always try and keep it healthy and balanced especially in the week. This toasted coconut smoothie is the perfect combination of delicious and nutritious. Let's get blending! Ingredient break down I chose to use pea protein because I prefer the taste to whey protein, but you can use any protein of your choosing; vanilla, chai, maybe even chocolate for extra decadence. The addition of...
