Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
I had the idea in my head to make these vegan sweet potato brownies for a little while now. And I am SO glad I went and made them. These are ULTRA fudgy! And you’d never even guess they have sweet potato in them. In fact I served them to someone without telling them and…
These smoky and spicy cauliflower tacos are perfect for Taco Tuesday, or any day of the week! Tacos are definitely one of my favourite things to eat and to make at home. I love them because there are so many options and endless ways to make them. For example, these vegan cauliflower tacos are different…
Whether or not you’re actually celebrating a birthday, birthday cake flavoured things are always a good idea. And these healthy gluten free no bake cookies may just be THE BEST idea. Not only are they the easiest, most fool proof recipe to make, they contain minimal ingredients and have sprinkles! What more do you need…
Has spring finally arrived?! I think so and I couldn’t be happier with the change in the season and of course all the fresh produce. I picked up some beautiful cherry tomatoes and decided to make this savory gluten free galette. Another great spring find (and one of the best ways to tell that spring…
I think nearly everyone can agree on one thing – no bake desserts are awesome! Making no bake desserts in the summer is a no-brainer, because turning the oven on is the last thing anyone wants to do. But, I’d make these no bake cookie dough bars year round and be quite content. I’ll let…
Pesto is such a classic recipe that reminds me a lot of spring and summer because of the fresh herbs in it. But, to be honest, classic basil pesto doesn’t always do it for me. You have to use a lot of basil to get a decent amount of pesto and also, quite a bit…
One of the first vegan restaurants I fell in love with in Toronto was Fresh. It defintely became a go-to when I moved to Toronto about 7-8 years ago. Although I don’t frequent this restaurant as much anymore, I still always think about a few of their dishes from time to time. One of those…
Growing up, I never really ate oatmeal. It was more of a quick cereal (or pop tart!) kinda household. So when I got older and started living on my own, my whole world was turned upside down when I tried overnight oats for the first time. Prior to that, I had hot oatmeal and it…
About 4 years ago, I went to NYC. I went on quite the foodie adventure while I was there. One of the most memorable was definitely Charlie Bird. And of all the things I tried on the menu, the one thing I knew I *had* to make when I got home was the farro salad….
I think that a lot of people think they don’t like lentils. But, that’s probably because they haven’t had french lentils, or black lentils. Unlike green, brown or red lentils, french lentils hold their shape. And if you’re having them in a salad like this, it’s essential to use them so they don’t become mushy….
