RAW. VEGAN. GLUTEN FREE. NOT GROSS. KALE CHIPS

Sabeena Bubber • May 5, 2015

Okay – so this has been a crazy couple weeks for me, the housing market in Vancouver is nuts and I have been meeting with clients non-stop. Finding the time in the kitchen to cook meals for the family has been hard enough let alone taking pictures of my food and writing recipes for my blog! But this is a good thing!


I love being busy and I love working with clients… so if you know someone who needs a mortgage, you know… send them my way, I am never too busy for client referrals!


I was recently introduced to this youtube channel called Tastemade, and a show on there called Raw. Vegan. Not Gross. So instead of sharing one of my own recipes, I wanted to share the first episode where Laura Miller (and her incredible voice) outline a pretty tasty recipe for super healthy kale chips. There are quite a few good looking recipes on this channel, most of which are gluten free.


Now, if Nutritional Yeast is freaking you out a little, here is a link to Bob’s Red Mill Blog to reassure you, or scare you even more… either way!


KALE CHIPS

MAKES 4 SERVINGS


INGREDIENTS:
-1 bunch kale
-1 bell pepper
-1 C soaked walnuts
-1/2 C nutritional yeast
-1/4 C maple syrup
-2 TBSP lemon juice
-1/2 TSP salt
-1/2 TSP cayenne


METHOD
-Soak nuts overnight and then strain them.
-Place nuts in food processor, add remaining ingredients, and pulse until the entire mixture is fully incorporated.
-Place kale leaves in a bowl, add your mixture, and then massage the mixture into the leaves.
-Spread the coated leaves on your dehydrator sheet or on cookie sheet with wax paper. Dehydrate overnight or bake in oven at 200F until crispy.


Notes:

Also, I have been told that this recipe also works well if you substitute the cayenne pepper for Sriracha and add minced garlic! But like anything, make it your own!

Get Unbiased Advice: Work with an Independent Mortgage Pro

By Sabeena Bubber • March 11, 2026
Why Work With an Independent Mortgage Professional? If you’re in the market for a mortgage, here’s the most important thing to know: Working with an independent mortgage professional can save you money and provide better options than dealing directly with a single bank. If that’s all you read—great! But if you’d like to understand why that statement is true, keep reading. The Best Mortgage Isn’t Just About the Lowest Rate It’s easy to fall for slick marketing that promotes ultra-low mortgage rates. But the lowest rate doesn’t always mean the lowest cost . The best mortgage is the one that costs you the least amount of money over time —not just the one with the flashiest headline rate. Things like: Prepayment penalties Portability Flexibility to refinance Amortization structure Fixed vs. variable terms …can all affect the true cost of your mortgage. An independent mortgage professional looks beyond the rate. They’ll help you find a product that fits your unique financial situation , long-term goals, and lifestyle—so you’re not hit with expensive surprises down the road. Save Time (and Your Sanity) Applying for a mortgage can be complicated. Every lender has different rules, documents, and policies—and trying to navigate them all on your own can be time-consuming and frustrating. When you work with an independent mortgage professional: You fill out one application They shop that application across multiple lenders You get expert advice tailored to your needs This means less paperwork , less stress , and more confidence in your options. Get Unbiased Advice That Puts You First Bank specialists work for the bank. Their job is to sell you that bank’s mortgage products—whether or not it’s the best deal for you. Independent mortgage professionals work for you. They’re provincially licensed, and their job is to help you: Compare multiple lenders Understand the fine print Make informed, long-term financial decisions And the best part? Their services are typically free to you . Mortgage professionals are paid a standardized fee by the lender when a mortgage is placed—so you get expert guidance without any out-of-pocket cost. Access More Mortgage Options When you go to your bank, you’re limited to that bank’s mortgage products. When you go to an independent mortgage professional, you get access to: Major banks Credit unions Monoline lenders (who only offer mortgages) Alternative and private lenders (if needed) That’s far more choice , and a much better chance of finding a mortgage that truly fits your needs and goals. The Bottom Line If you want to: Save money over the life of your mortgage Save time by avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth Access more lenders and products Get honest, client-first advice …then working with an independent mortgage professional is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
