Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
Falafel has been a longtime favourite of mine and something I’ve made a lot of in the past, but I never thought to make a falafel burger. I’m so glad I did and created these delicious and easy falafel burgers. These vegan falafel burgers are grain free, packed with fibre and contain tons of fresh herbs. The herbs provide all the flavour and also help make the falafel bright green too.

I’m back with another Thai recipe! Are you ready for this one? I think this may just be the best stir fry I’ve ever made. And it’s definitely due to the fact that I used a few special ingredients. Like the shrimp that is MSC certified, Thai basil, a high quality fish sauce, Thai red chilis, and Chinese eggplant. All of these ingredients combined make this Thai shrimp stir fry stand out. Seriously, it’s LOADED with so much flavour, you’re going to love it. Also, you can whip this up in about 20 minutes!

Can you believe its March already?! I’m not sure where the first few months of 2020 have gone already, but is it safe to say, I am kinda excited for the arrival of spring? I know, we definitely have more of winter to get through, but the promise of spring is coming. And I’m so excited for all the fresh produce coming up, and of course more pool hangs at my condo with friends. But before we welcome spring, let’s appreciate the more seasonally appropriate veggies we do have. This roasted cauliflower salad with wild rice is so hearty, you can eat this as is for a full meal. It’s got lots of flavour going on, with the addition of za’atar, halloumi, pomegranate and California Prunes, which are available year-round.

I remember first hearing about the sober curious movement about a year ago on a podcast. I was intrigued by the movement but I was unsure if it was something I wanted to try, or even if I could do it. This isn’t to say I drink a lot or all the time, but I definitely enjoy wine and a good cocktail. Just have a look at my logo and you’ll see a martini glass. Truly, I’m all about balance and I still believe that drinking can be part of a healthy lifestyle. But when I found myself single for the first time in 14 years, I noticed how much I relied on drinking to make myself feel comfortable. And I wanted to explore that, so here we are…

One of my all-time favourite muffin recipes is banana nut. I’d get them all the time from Tim Hortons, a Canadian coffee institution. I haven’t had one in a long time, but when I made these healthy banana nut muffins, they took me right back. They’re packed with banana flavour and basically taste like banana bread in muffin form. I also kept them gluten free, grain free and sugar free.

Roasted chicken is actually one of my favourite things to make and eat. Maybe this sounds crazy, but I’ll say it anyways, I think roasted chicken may just be one of the best foods you can eat. Yes, even over a steak or another fancy cut of meat, so long as its cooked right. It has this unique ability to transform into almost anything you want. Think of how many different ways you can prepare chicken, it’s truly something special. And roasting a whole chicken kind of takes the cake in my opinion. This roast chicken in a cast iron skillet is definitely the ultimate way to cook chicken.

Foundation is a tricky makeup product and when you’re trying to find the best non toxic foundation, it can feel nearly impossible. Some are too light and don’t offer enough coverage, others are too heavy. Over the past few years, I’ve tried a lot of different ones, and I wanted to share my full review with you. I’m reviewing every single foundation and concealer that I’ve personally purchased.

You ever see one of those meals on TV that just look SO insanely good, you have to pause it just to appreciate it? I have! And it was this garlic lemon pasta that I saw on the Netflix show, “The Chef Show.” I was binge watching the series when I came across this pasta dish. And I had to pause the special and take a screenshot of the ingredients that they showed. I needed to remember just how it was made so I could make it the next night for dinner.

I’ve had long history with veggie burgers! When I was vegetarian back in my 20’s, I would buy the packaged kinds all the time. And then when I got more into cooking I’d frequently make my own. Then, I stumbled on making this veggie burger with rice and I knew I had created one of the best veggie burgers.

My love affair with Thai food is still at an all time high. After making my own delicious Pad Thai, I knew I wanted to create something with the same flavours but a bit different. Thus how these Thai chicken wings were born! They’re crispy from baking them in the oven and then slathered with a spicy, and sticky Thai sauce. Basically, they’re perfection!
