Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
The truth is breakups are tough, no matter what. Sometimes, they can be a lot more painful than others. Cheating makes them so much more complicated, hurtful and raw. I chose to finally share my story (one year later) because I needed to give myself time to gather my thoughts. I didn’t want to write…
Truffles seem like one of those indulgent items that are probably too complicated to make yourself, right? That’s what I always thought too, but it turns out, they’re actually REALLY EASY to make. I wanted to create healthy chocolate truffles that tasted decadent but remained dairy free. The truth is as much as I love…
Although we had our first hit of snow this past week here in Toronto and it’s been looking like winter, it still is technically fall. Which means that crisp apples, pumpkin spice and all those things should *technically* still be the dominant theme. And so, I decided to make these gluten free apple cinnamon muffins….
When I started frequenting Thai restaurants back when I was in university I quickly fell in love. The flavours, the smells, the spice, I loved it all! I would go to this one Thai place weekly and always order a pad thai. When I got a little older, I tried red curry at a Thai…
Is there anything better than chocolate in the morning? I’ll wait… in my opinion, there isn’t anything better. And this is why I love these healthy pumpkin oatmeal bars with chocolate chips. The chocolate is optional of course, so you could leave them out, or use nuts instead. But I will say, there is just…
When you are craving a slightly fancier hummus, I highly suggest trying this butternut squash hummus. It’s creamy and smooth, but with just a few extra ingredients, it becomes so much more. If you haven’t tried the spice/nut blend called dukkah you are in for such a treat. Once you whip up a batch of…
As the fall and winter season are upon us, it can start getting really busy. And once the holidays hit, people are in a rush for everything. It can easily become overwhelming trying to do so many things, like plan for parties, host dinners and attend them. Whether you are hosting a party this year…
I know it wasn’t that long ago, I shared my skillet cookie recipe, but I couldn’t help myself in creating another one. These pecan chocolate chip cookies are so perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Plus you only need one bowl to make them in, so cheers to less dishes! Speaking of the holidays, are…
Remember when kale was all the rage a few years ago? It was the number one ‘superfood’ on everyone’s radar. As annoying as that term is, it did bring kale front and centre and for that I am grateful. When I first tried a kale salad, I wasn’t a huge fan because I simply wasn’t…
Lately I have been all about taking traditionally sweet recipes and making them into savory ones. Just like I did with my savory oatmeal muffins, I am doing it once again with this savory granola. Although this is called granola, it isn’t a typical granola at all. But for lack of a better term, and…
