About me

Hi! I’m Jaclyn, a Holistic Nutritionist and foodie. Over the past few years, I have developed a deep appreciation and understanding of food, wellness and self-love. I know that no matter how much kale you eat, if you have a negative relationship with food and your body you won’t truly feel well. If you like kale and cocktails, then you are in the right place.

Soup season is HERE! Bring on all the warming and comforting foods, just like this Thai butternut squash soup with red curry. This recipe is completely plant-based, packed with flavour and hearty. It also freezes well, so you can make a big batch. If you want to check out this recipe I developed, be sure to follow @rily.good because it’ll be up there soon!

What’s your fave soup??

It’s FRIDAY- let’s have some pie. No bake pean

It’s FRIDAY- let’s have some pie. No bake peanut butter pie to be exact. I don’t call myself a baker and pies aren’t really my thing tbh, buttttt this no bake one is so easy to make 👌🏻. All it takes is some patience to wait to eat it as it’s sets overnight. Honestly that may be the hardest part- waiting 🙄. It’s got layers of PB and a coconut whip on top plus chocolate sooooo I’ve hit all the major food groups 😬.

SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER! Oh myyyy the

SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER! Oh myyyy these are one of the tastiest sides I think I’ve ever made with sweet potatoes 🍠. The combination of sweet and savory, ease of preparation (under 30 minutes!) and short list of ingredients definitely helps. The crunchy topping made up of toasted spiced nuts + @lees.provisions brown butter ghee + lime + hot honey is EVERYTHING 😍. Check out the full recipe up on my site, or hit save for later!

I can’t even count how many times I’ve made this apple crisp over the past few weeks- lets just call it recipe testing 😉. It’s so good though, and it’s made with easy, staple ingredients you probably have in your pantry. Plus one bowl! So grab some apples and get baking 😋.

Perfect with a scoop of ice cream and my easy caramel sauce (made from dates 👌🏻). Link is in my bio ❤️

The one elusive dish that’s soooo hard to make a

The one elusive dish that’s soooo hard to make at home- it used to be paid Thai.... 😜. But I’ve since learned a few tips to make it myself at home and do it WELL! I absolutely LOVE Thai food (it’s one of my top five fav cuisines) but making it at home was sooo daunting. I could never get it right, it’s been years of me trying (and failing)to make it correctly. Look I’ll be real, it’s not as good as the one you get from truly authentic Thai places (like @paitoronto in Toronto) but it’s pretty good. I don’t have all the same techniques or ingredients, but this pad Thai version does make it a lot easier to make it at home. For me it’s all about the sauce and this tamarind sauce is IT! You can make it at home too, click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo or save it for later 👌🏻.

Is there a type of seafood that intimidates you to

Is there a type of seafood that intimidates you to cook at home? For me, that used to be scallops, but I’m happy to show you that cooking scallops at home is not only delicious (and nutritious), but also really easy too #ad. And when you cook with seafood that has the @mscbluefish label, you’re also choosing a certified sustainable seafood option. The MSC blue fish label is easy to look for when shopping (swipe to see what it looks like) and it ensures that the seafood and fish you’re buying is not only good for you, it’s good for the ocean too. Scallops are high in trace minerals such as selenium and zinc (excellent for skin & hair too) and a great source of omega 3’s.
.
So how do you cook scallops at home? It’s easy, you’ll just need to follow a few simple steps and use my tips to get seared, perfectly cooked scallops every time.
.
Step One: Ensure that your scallops are dried very well. Line a plate with paper towels and blot them dry.
Step Two: Heat your pan over medium heat (I like using a cast iron pan). Once the pan is very hot, add a good splash of oil (avocado or olive oil).
Step Three: Season your scallops with salt and pepper right before searing them.
Step Four: Add the scallops to the pan and put a timer on for 2 minutes. At this point, the scallops should easily lift from the pan and you can flip them. Cook for an additional one to two minutes (depending on the size and thickness).
Step Five: optional, but during the last 30 seconds of cooking, add some butter or ghee to the pan. Using a spoon, spoon the butter over the scallops. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate. Enjoy!

I have specific criteria for a GOOD salad:
1. Filling and hearty
2. Crunch factor
3. Delicious!
And this vegan kale Caesar salad hits all of them! It’s the one I make again and again and have been for yearsssss. And I finally got around to blogging it. It’s the only vegan caesar dressing you’ll ever need (bold, i know 😬). You can find the full recipe for this up on my blog now, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

What’s your non-negotiable when it’s comes to a GOOD salad??

Vegan bolognese, yes please 🍝. Make this for Me

Vegan bolognese, yes please 🍝. Make this for Meatless Monday or any day of the week, it’s surprisingly light and has the best texture thanks to some mushrooms and walnuts. This is the easiest bolognese EVER. Meaning you can whip it up in 35 minutes 💯. Serve over your fav pasta, mine is bucatini lately (love that hole in the middle that soaks up extra sauce 😋). You can find the full recipe up on my blog now, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo! Serve with a nice glass of red 🍷 and enjoyyyy 💯.

When you want apple crumble but in a bar form - make these 😍! Easy to make, no fancy ingredients and topped with the most delicious (drizzly) caramel sauce EVER (yup I said it). This sauce is better than a real caramel sauce IMO because it’s not as sweet, plus you don’t even have to turn on the stove to make it, you just need to soak some dates. Check out the full recipe now up on my blog, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo, or save it for later 🍏🍎.

Have you tried jackfruit yet? If not, I recommend

Have you tried jackfruit yet? If not, I recommend starting with these pulled jackfruit gyros! Whenever I make jackfruit I’m amazed with how it turns out 😍. Just look at the crisp factor on it in the second photo 👉. This has quickly become THE most pinned recipe for me this year and I can see why, it’s absolutely delicious 😋. With a cook time of 30 minutes, it’s also fairly easy for a weeknight meal, maybe just prep the rest ahead of time (chopping, and the vegan tzatziki).

I *think* I can change the minds of any brussels sprouts haters with this crispy skillet brussels sprouts and pancetta side dish. Because just look at that char 🔥. These sprouts have so much flavour from crispy pancetta, a drizzle of maple syrup, toasted pine nuts and chopped dates. I’m talking minimal ingredients, one skillet and 20 minutes total!

One of the most viewed and popular recipes I have on my site are these miso roasted cauliflower bites. They’re such a delicious side dish that they may just steal the whole show.

Too early for turtles?! Although these are conside

Too early for turtles?! Although these are considered a holiday food, I think we can eat these any time of the year 😍🐢. I had so much fun making these because not only are they so simple to make (they’re only 5 ingredients including salt!) but look how cute they are too 🥰. The date-cashew butter caramel provides the perfect chew. And just look at the little turtle body made of pecans, I can’t 🐢❤️.

Move over crispy chickpeas, it’s lentils time to

Move over crispy chickpeas, it’s lentils time to shine! I’ve been making these crispy lentils for some time now and I don’t plan on stopping. These little bites are packed with flavour, nutrition and they’re perfect as a crunchy little topper 💥. If you think you hate lentils because they’re flavourless, bland, mushy or whatever else, I highly suggest checking out how this new post for how to make lentils. I’ve got THREE different flavour combinations to keep things exciting! Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

Are you team lentil yet???

20 minute pasta and only 8 ingredients, YES PLEASE

20 minute pasta and only 8 ingredients, YES PLEASE! This deceptively fancy looking bucatini is actually superrrr simple to make. I make a variation of this lemon garlic pasta usually once a week, it’s that good. Also bucatini over any other noodle, all day, everyday.
.
If you’re not a garlic fan, DON’T, I repeat DON’T make this 🙃. There are about 5-6 cloves of it in this, although it’s sautéed in olive oil so it’s much more mellow. No vampires around here 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️.
.
This simple, 20 minute pasta is perfect for a cozy night in. You can check out the full recipe on my site now, the link in my bio will get you there ☺️. #allfoodsfit

It’s all about the drizzle 😍. These 7 ingredient chicken fingers with hot honey are so easy to prep and taste 💯. And I’ll be making them (plus the hot honey 🔥🍯) tonight on IG Live with @shaynegold87 at 6pm EST. Along with these delicious bites were also making a fall inspired squash and farro salad! So if you wanna make them too or just watch, be sure to tune in tonight. You can see the full recipe for these on my site too, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

It’s now fully acceptable to be putting pumpkin

It’s now fully acceptable to be putting pumpkin in everything right, including in my feed? I hope so because I don’t plan on stopping until at least January/February when I’m so sick of all things squash at that point 😅. But for now, it’s full force, so get ready. I love these layered no bake vegan pumpkin bars. With layers of date caramel, coconut butter, pumpkin and a chocolate pecan crust it’s got so much goodness going on. I can’t wait to make these again soon 🎃. You can find the full recipe up on my blog, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo. #pumpkinspiceeverything
