What happens when you want a brownie but also a cookie? THESE brookies happen and they’re sooo good! Fudgy, and oh so chocolaty while still soft in the middle, these cookies are my dream cookie.

INSTANT POT SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS: are you sick of seeing tacos from yesterday (jk how can anyone be sick of tacos 😉). Well I hope not because these instant pot shredded chicken tacos are actually 🔥🔥. Make your weeknight taco night easy AF with this hands-off approach. Tossed with spicy chipotles in adobo, salsa, broth (or water) and some spices these come together in about 45 minutes. And tacos aren’t tacos without all of the toppings!

GO-TO SPICY GUAC 🌶🥑: every day is a good day

GO-TO SPICY GUAC 🌶🥑: every day is a good day for guac. So yes this is perfect for any Cinco de Mayo celebrations tomorrow or any other day of the week 😜. I’m extremely picky when it comes to guac bc it has to taste 💯 and I’ve never come across a store bought one that tastes good. Over the years of making it, I’ve learned some important tips to make the best ever guac. Here it goes:

- Great guac starts with using the best avocados you can find. They gotta be creamy, and perfectly ripe. This will make a huge difference, trust!
- Always, always add a good pinch of kosher salt.
- Adding very finely chopped red onion is (in my opinion) a must. Tomatoes are a big no, sorry not sorry 😅.
- A squeeze of fresh lime juice is a must to balance the flavours.
- Cilantro is optional (but if you love it, add it 🌿).

Ok now stay with me because this last tip is gonna be a little out there but it adds the best flavour. Nutritional yeast aka nooch. It adds this delicious savoury flavour and I don’t ever skip it when I’m making guac.

If you want the full recipe for my go to spicy guac, swipe 👉 and hit save on this post to make it later. Tag me if you make it, it makes my day seeing your photos and mentions 🥰💚🥑.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this!
- pasta (I ❤️ orecchiette!)
- peas (fresh or frozen)
- asparagus
- extra virgin olive oil
- lemon (and zest 🍋)

BREAKFAST TACOS: Cinco de Mayo is coming up soon and I’m all for starting the celebrations early 👌🏻. I don’t think I’ll ever turn down a taco and certainly not these breakfast tacos.

Heading into a rainy weekend means lots of baking

Heading into a rainy weekend means lots of baking is going down 👩‍🍳. But if you don’t want to make a whole banana bread (me tonight 🙋🏻‍♀️), try this banana bread mug cake instead.

Completely vegan and gluten-free too.

Here’s what you’ll need:
- banana
- almond butter
- vanilla
- coconut sugar
- oat milk/other dairy free milk
- @bobsredmill all purpose GF flour
- baking powder

MISO SALMON: I have a serious love affair with cri

MISO SALMON: I have a serious love affair with crispy skinned salmon 😍. There’s just something about cutting into it and hearing that crunch. Is that weird? Well either way, i won’t stop preparing my salmon this way 😉.

Here’s what you need to do. Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Then add some oil (evoo is my choice here because it helps get the skin browned and crispy 👌🏻). Pat the salmon dry with paper towel and season with s&p. Add the salmon skin side down and cook until the fish is cooked through about 3/4 of the way up. Flip it and cook for only 30 seconds up to 1 minute more. Remove and let it sit and rest for a minute. This results in that perfect medium cooked fish that isn’t dry and over cooked 💯. Always, always try and buy good quality fish, I like getting a sushi grade fish for this so I can safely cook it to medium.

And if you want the recipe for this crispy miso salmon and broccolini be sure to check out @rily.good! It’s been posted as of today 💚. And you can now filter recipes by author too 👩‍🍳.

VEGGIE BURGERS: oh how I love homemade veggie burg

VEGGIE BURGERS: oh how I love homemade veggie burgers 🍔. And if you’re also team veggie burger, you’re gonna want to check these ones out. I’ve been making this version for a few years now and I just love how it tastes and how it holds together. Because a mushy veggie burger is a big no in my book 🙅🏻‍♀️. These are packed with that umami flavour from sun dried tomatoes and they hold up very well when cooking. I love topping them with lots of dill (almost too much 😜), thinly sliced red onion and when I’m feeling fancy, thinly sliced and ribboned cucumber 🥒. And of course a special sauce on the bottom to keep things interesting 😋. Check these out at the link in my bio or hit save to make these later!

Let me know your fave veggie burger (homemade or not) in the comments 👇👇

MEXICAN INSPIRED CHICKEN WINGS: when you’re crav

MEXICAN INSPIRED CHICKEN WINGS: when you’re craving Mexican food and also chicken wings! Yup it’s true, underneath all those toppings are some extra crispy chicken wings. Also true- an air fryer makes the best, extra crispy chicken wings 💯.

These may be a borderline hot mess of a meal (I actually thought as I was shooting them- will people be able to tell these are wings under here 😅), but they’re actually SO simple to make. All you need are some spices for a dry rub, @chosenfoods avocado oil spray and your air fryer (oven will work too, they just won’t get as crispy). Top them with my easy lime crema, cotija cheese, cilantro and a serrano pepper for heat 🔥. Can you believe these are ready in 30 minutes?! Honestly these may just be one of the most original and fun recipes I’ve created and shot recently. Hit save for later or head to the link in my bio and then tap on this photo to check it out!

Cinco de mayo is coming up and I think these need to be on your menu 🤤.

CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PUDDING: this right here is such

CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PUDDING: this right here is such a nostalgic recipe for me. I can remember making it again and again after first discovering it (about 7 years ago!). Every time I served it to someone they’d have no idea there was avocado in it. But this pudding is packed with healthy fats from avocados AND chia seeds 🤌. If you’re looking for a creamy pudding with rich chocolate flavour- this is it! Save for later, or head to the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🍫🍫.

MOOD: no bake four ingredient peanut butter fudge

MOOD: no bake four ingredient peanut butter fudge 😛. When you need a rich dessert and only fudge will do, make this easy swirled fudge with chocolate and peanut butter. Keep them in the freezer whenever you want a little bite (it will be often 😳). If I were to create a new no bake fudge, what other flavour would you wanna see, lmk 👇👇

GREEN BEAN & POTATO SALAD: doesn’t this just scream spring 🌱☀️. This is an easy roasted fingerling potato salad made with green beans and a flavour packed green goddess dressing. Lots of dill too because it’s delicious and goes so well with potatoes 🥔. And if you want this to be a full meal, go ahead and add a medium boiled egg to it, or tuna 🤌 (new fav emoji btw).

Wishing you a very happy Monday and start to the week! I had such a great weekend, I got to see our new condo on Sunday and it got me SO excited for June when we move. Swipe through to see some highlights from the weekend (mostly food photos 😜). Or as the cool kids say my “photo dump” 😏. What was the best part of your weekend?

NO BAKE CHEESECAKE JARS: happy Friday!!! I’m so

NO BAKE CHEESECAKE JARS: happy Friday!!! I’m so ready for the weekend 😃. Planning on taking lots of time to test and bake some new recipes. And if you’re looking for an easy, no bake recipe to try, I’d suggest these 20 minute cherry cheesecake jars. Perfect for a single serve style dessert and they’re great for taking along with you outside or wherever you go 🍒. Made with protein packed Greek yogurt and cream cheese, it really does taste similar to traditional no bake cheesecakes, but without any heavy cream. Naturally gluten free, with an easy swap for anyone needing a dairy free/vegan option too.

You can find the full recipe up on my blog! Just head to the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

Happy #earthday 🌍. Although I really do think e

Happy #earthday 🌍. Although I really do think every day is earth day. I know it can feel daunting when you don’t know where to begin or what to do in regards to protecting this big beautiful planet but I do believe that we can all make small changes daily that can have a big impact. I’m definitely not an expert but here are a few ideas that I’ve used and you may find useful too:

- Eat more plants 🌱 (check out these vegan jackfruit gyros to start!). I’m not an all or nothing person, and I don’t think that we all need to go vegan (nor do I think that’s possible for everyone either) but we can consume less meat and eat more plants. Swipe through to see more plantbased recipes!
- Use tote bags when out to get groceries to reduce single use plastics.
- Support sustainable clothing companies/thrift your clothes
- Get out in nature, it truly helps you appreciate its beauty more 🍃
- Support companies that also make Mother Earth a priority!
- Switch to reusable silicon bags over single use plastic bags, I love @stasherbag
- Recycle ♻️
- Switch to more natural products like cleaning products and beauty products. I love brands like @kjaerweis @elatecosmetics that make their products very eco friendly and reusable too. Also @thedetoxmarketcanada for all things green beauty 💚
