Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
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 you ready for them or do you feel like they snuck up on you? I am definitely in the latter category and really cannot get over the fact that we are in October.

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 making it correctly. Now that I have mastered the art of the kale salad, it is my all time favourite green in the winter to make a salad with. This kale tahini salad will completely blow you away with its taste and I can’t wait for you to try it.

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 for some SEO purposes, I am calling it savory granola, insert *shrugs shoulders* emoji.

My love of truffle is not going anywhere. So I apologize in advance if it isn’t your thing, but if it isn’t, I gotta ask why?! Truffle is fancy af, but also makes everything taste 374782605 times better (it’s science). So I urge you to consider buying yourself a small bottle and keeping it on hand. Yes, its pricey, but you only need the tiniest amount for your tastebuds to thank you. I think you’re going to LOVE this creamy farro risotto for so many reasons, one of them being of course that is has truffle.

Now that it is officially the end of summer, I am ready to start cooking with all the squash again. One of my favourite types of squash is butternut squash. It’s so versatile that you can cook with it so many different ways. Enjoy it in a soup, as a sauce, diced with veggies or as a dip. I created this roundup to share some unique and inspiring recipes from some of my favourite foodies. Enjoy these 15 easy and healthy butternut squash recipes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

If there is just one thing I would do for my skin, it would be to exfoliate. I mean, besides cleansing my skin, exfoliating is a close second in my skincare routine. Because I’ve been taking care of my skin for as long as I can remember, I’ve also tried a lot of different products. Some I have purchased over and over again and others not so much. And now I want to share the best natural exfoliators I’ve found with you.

Tacos and pizza are definitely some of my favourite foods. But for some crazy reason, I haven’t created or shared a pizza recipe yet?! I knew that needed to change. Once I created this creamy, dairy free roasted garlic sauce I knew it would make a great pizza sauce. Rather than a traditional tomato sauce, I opted to make this vegan mushroom pizza with a white sauce instead.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had “interesting hair.” When I was younger, I had this wavy, thickkkk, uncontrollable hair. And in elementary school I would always wear my hair up in a bun because I didn’t know how to style it and neither did my mom. She had no idea how to control it. Then one day, a kid asked me why I always wore it in a bun. I didn’t have an answer, I was incredibly shy and didn’t want any attention on me. So I decided the next day that I would wear my hair down. My mom asked me, “are you sure?” and I said yes. That was the last time I wore it down for a while haha. I’ve since learned how to manage my hair and because I have so much of it, I like to stretch my hair washing days as much as possible. So I rely on dry shampoo A LOT. I wanted to share the best natural dry shampoo and products with you, so here we go.

I’ve been wanting to create savory oatmeal muffins for a while now. The idea has been swirling around in my brain for weeks. But I didn’t quite know how it would work and what it would taste like. I decided to just go for it and the results speak for themselves. These little muffins make the perfect snack, or breakfast. And because they are so portable, they are great for a quick grab-and-go option.

Now that we are in full on Fall mode, it’s time to break out the Instant Pot once again. It had been put away for most of the summer, but I expect it to be in rotation once again. I really love my Instant Pot and I’m so happy I purchased it back when it went on sale for Amazon Prime Day. These Instant Pot carnitas couldn’t be tastier or easier to make. If you plan it out, it could even be a weeknight dinner as it comes together in about an hour. Or, make it ahead of time and keep it in the freezer or fridge for a quick and delicious weeknight meal.
