Have you ever made your own crackers? I have a few times before, but they were never worth blogging about because frankly they took longer than I wanted and you could get decent options elsewhere. So these super seed crackers are GOOD! They are loaded with, you guessed it- seeds. And so many seeds too! Plus I added in some extra fibre with the psyllium husk too. Also, there are so many minerals from the nori which is one thing that I find so many people are missing from their diet. …
What is Intuitive Eating: And How it Helped Me
I’ve been talking about intuitive eating for over a year now and I’ve written about it a lot over the year. But, it occurred to me that I have yet to delve deeper into what is intuitive eating. And so I wanted to share the basics of intuitive eating and also share how changing the way I eat and look at food changed my whole life. …
PB & J Energy Bites: No Bake, Gluten Free and Vegan
There are combos in life that just go together, like avocado and toast (or tbh- avocado with anything) or a burger and fries. But is there anything quite as classic as pb & j? Growing up, I had this combo all the time (yup, we were allowed to bring nut butters to school). And this was a classic for a reason. The sticky nature of the peanut butter combined with sweet jam makes perfect sense. I wanted to create all those same nostalgic feelings, so I created these PB & J energy bites. Ready to make them yourself, let’s get to it….
Vegan Matcha Cheesecake: No Bake + Gluten Free
As someone who doesn’t like coffee, matcha has always been my go-to in times of a caffeine hit. I have always loved tea, especially green tea and whenever I go to a Japanese restaurant, I always want a matcha dessert at the end. There is something so delicious about a creamy matcha creme brûlée, my personal favourite dessert at a local sushi spot in Toronto. I wanted to create my own type of dessert using matcha, so this vegan matcha cheesecake was born. I also knew that I wanted to add in a little something extra, so I used some of the cheesecake to also make a raspberry version too. The addition of the sour from the raspberry complements this vegan matcha cheesecake quite nicely….
Vegan Cauliflower Soup: Winter is Coming
One of my favourite things about winter is soup. Without a doubt, I absolutely adored soup growing up and craved it more than anything, not just chicken noodle soup when I was sick either. So it was actually quite surprising when I thought about the fact that I haven’t shared many soup recipes over here. And for that I must apologize and just know that I will do better going forward. I am starting to make up for this with my vegan cauliflower soup. I do think that this is a good starting point and we can move forward from here….
Why I Switched to a Menstrual Cup: Five Reasons
I remember seeing ads for the Diva Cup many years ago and thinking “that’s disgusting, I would never use that.” And now, I truly can’t imagine my period without a menstrual cup. Yeah, it is actually that life changing and I can’t wait to share this review with you. As someone who is many times late to adapt to new things (Am I the last person to get an Instant Pot?), this also holds true for the menstrual cup. To say I was nervous to try it would be a HUGE understatement, but I am sooooo glad I did it. Read on to hear my full and honest review after using a menstrual cup and why I made the switch. …
Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce with Crispy Sage: Vegan
I’ve been really into carbs lately, I mean, I’ll be honest I am always into carbs, but now it seems to be more than ever. And you know what, I am going with it. Rather than trying to fight my body or stifle my needs with more protein or fat, I am letting myself have the carbs. Because this will also pass. The good thing about my recent carb extravaganza is definitely this butternut squash pasta sauce that I have been slathering on penne. Add in some crispy sage, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds and you’re all set. And because I wanted to add some greens into this dish, a handful or two of spinach doesn’t hurt. …

Instant Pot Review: Is it Worth It + FREE Meal Plan
I am sure you have seen the Instant Pot all over the place for a while now. I felt the same way, but didn’t quite understand why everyone was using it. So when Amazon had prime day, I scooped it up (for a good price) and haven’t looked back since. I have been using it for several months and thought it was time to do a little Instant Pot review. It’s my goal to share with you all the benefits, pros and cons and everything in between. This Instant Pot review is 100% my honest opinion and I hope it will be helpful for you. …
No Bake Pumpkin Bars: Vegan and Paleo
I’ve got two new recipes this week, who am I?! Sometimes, the recipe ideas just come in waves and I am riding it this week. I created these no bake pumpkin bars with a couple ideas in mind. First I wanted some layers in there to make it look pretty, but I also wanted each layer to serve a purpose and taste amazing. I used my previous no bake peanut chocolate bars as an idea when I created these, but changed the ingredients to reflect a more fall inspired approach. And since they are no bake, they are relatively easy and pretty foolproof if I do say so myself. …
