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 or attending one, food is always part of the occasion. And I think that this smoked salmon dip makes one killer appetizer. Pairing it with a seasonal, seafood and fish charcuterie board will truly make it stand out. And I am going to show you exactly how to put together your own, along with the recipe for this smoked salmon dip.

Kale Tahini Salad with Lentils & Sweet Potato

October 4, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

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.

Farro Risotto With Lentils, Mushrooms & Truffle

Yum

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.

Yum

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.

Instant Pot Carnitas: The Easiest Pork Tacos

September 6, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

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.

Spiralized Sweet Potato Noodles with Pesto & Coconut Bacon

Yum

Recently, I was having one of those days where I had no idea what to make for lunch. Usually, I keep it pretty simple or have leftovers, but it wasn’t an option on this particular day. And so, these sweet potato noodles made their debut. I am a big fan of sweet potato noodles over other veggie noodles because I find they hold up better when cooked. You can also check out my other sweet potato noodle recipe over here too. This recipe couldn’t be easier to whip up for days where you don’t know what to make.

Paleo Fish Tacos: Gluten Free & Grain Free

Yum

Turns out, I am kinda good at keeping secrets because I’ve been making these paleo fish tacos for a while now. Somehow, I haven’t shared it though and that is a shame. So I decided to change that immediately, your welcome! As summer is beginning to wind down (how it’s mid-August already blows my mind?!), and I thought these tacos would be the perfect summer send-off.

Loaded Burger Bowl: With Special Sauce (Paleo)

Yum

This loaded burger bowl is my take on a deconstructed Big Mac. And it is damn delicious! To be completely honest, I don’t even want a regular burger on a bun anymore, just feed me this salad and I am good. As long as the special sauce is on there, I don’t need much else in life. I added a few non traditional ingredients, but they work in this recipe and I know you’ll love it too.

Summer Rolls With Peanut Sauce: Three Ways

Yum

You know what always intimidated me? Making my own fresh rolls. Amongst a lot of other things that at once confused or intimidated me, it was unfounded. Because once I set out to use those thin rice paper sheets, I realized just how easy they are to use. And then these summer rolls with peanut sauce were born! Sure, it takes a little practice, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’re gonna be a rice paper rolling pro.
