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.

Mini berry tarts for the win! These chocolate coco

Mini berry tarts for the win! These chocolate coconut and cherry tarts are perfect to get spring and summer started 😍. If you haven’t yet tried making chocolate coconut whip, I hope these will change your mind. You can sub any fruit for the topping and if you aren’t a chocolate fan, you can also make these in vanilla too. Or make this into one big tart instead 😬😬. Check out the recipe for these vegan and gluten free tarts up on my site. Just click the link on this photo ☺️.

I’m SOOOO excited to share this one with you! Th

I’m SOOOO excited to share this one with you! These are NO BAKE birthday cake cookies(!!!) and they’re only FIVE ingredients 🎂🍪. They’re the most fool proof, easiest cookie recipe I’ve ever made and perfect whether or not you’re celebrating a birthday. Plus these cookies are vegan, gluten free and have the most delicious coconut butter frosting on top (thanks @nutiva), with sprinkles duh 🙄 (they are bday cake after all). You can make them in about 10 minutes and then just pop them in the freezer for 20! Boom- instant cookies 😬. I can see myself making these as the temps get hotter and the last thing I wanna do is turn my oven on. Check out the full recipe up on my blog now. Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo! As if you need another reason, this batch makes about 18 cookies sooooo cookies for days 👌🏻.

Is it bad to literally drink this tamari tahini sa

Is it bad to literally drink this tamari tahini sauce, asking for a friend... 😬🙃. It’s thick, savoury and umami rich (still not sure if I like that word- umami?!) but it is. And you’re gonna want a double batch of it to smother all over some soba noodles and greens which is exactly what this is used for. It’s a light dish, perfect for spring, and has so much flava. From the sun dried tomatoes, to the thinly sliced cabbage and crispy tofu, it’s my idea of plant based heaven. Feel free to use any protein you want, roasted chickpeas/lentils or tempeh would all be delicious too 💁🏻‍♀️. Check out the full recipe up on my blog, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🌿.

hello savory, gluten free galette!! i am in loveee

hello savory, gluten free galette!! i am in loveeee with this recipe so much and I foresee a lot more galettes in my future 🔮. they’re fairly easy to make, with just a bit of prep time and I love that you can mess them up when trying to fold them and just call it rustic chic 🙃. they’re designed to be imperfect and that makes them kinda perfect to me 😋. this savory galette recipe has it all! kale pesto on the bottom, ripe, juicy (local!) tomatoes, ramps and a cashew/pine nut ricotta. with a little prep work, this can be a fun weekend recipe to try, or if you’re a keener- a weeknight meal too. i’ve got the full recipe now up on my site, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo to check it out 💚.

Are you a fan of galettes? I’ve made sweet and savory versions but for me savory is always gonna win 🤤.

brb- having a moment with stacked sandwiches 😍🥪. This sandwich is loaded with all my faves and if you have the ingredients, I highly suggest making it! Here’s what I did: slather cream cheese on both sides of the bread, layer with sliced crunchy fresh romaine lettuce 🥬, followed by sliced tomato, tempeh bacon, and a soft scrambled egg with fresh herbs (I used parsley). Slice, serve and enjoyyyy 👌🏻.
.
Tbh I’m loving seeing everyone make sourdough lately and baking up a storm 🥖. It reminds me that food isn’t something to be feared of because of carbs or macros or other bs dieting trends. Food should be enjoyed, and sourdough is awesome. I haven’t attempted it myself and prob won’t bc I just go to @bbirdco and pick one up almost weekly and they make it better than I ever could so 🤷🏻‍♀️😅.

Are you a fan of no bake desserts like me?! A bake

Are you a fan of no bake desserts like me?! A baker I am not 🙅🏻‍♀️, but easy, no bake desserts like this, that I can get behind 💁🏻‍♀️. These healthy 10 ingredient cookie dough bars satisfy my sweet tooth and are soooo easy to make. Seriously dump ingredients in a food processor or blender, place it in a loaf pan to set. Top with the two ingredient melted chocolate and enjoy 😍. I’ve been keeping them in my freezer so I have them on hand the next time a craving hits. They’re also packed with fibre and protein (hello chickpeas!) and fat from cashew butter and coconut oil 🥥. You can check out the full recipe for this now on my blog. Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

What’s your fave no bake dessert??

Just found my new go-to pesto obsession 💚💚.

Just found my new go-to pesto obsession 💚💚. It’s bright green and packed with SO much goodness. Plus you don’t actually need any herbs because it’s made with blanched kale 🥬😯. With just 7 ingredients and less than 10 minutes you have the tastiest batch of vegan kale pesto. I’ve stored extra away for the next time a craving hits and it’s prob gonna be sooner than I’d planned 😏. I also added some @manitobaharvest hemp hearts for added healthy fats. Highly suggest grating some Brazil nut on top to mimic the parm look 👀. You can check out the full recipe for this now on my blog. Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

What’s your fave way to enjoy kale?! Mine is definitely massaged in a salad 😍.

As much as I love cooking, one of my favourite things to do is to go out for dinner. I love going to old faves and discovering new gems in the city. I’ve missed going out to eat SO BAD 😫!! Luckily there’s always takeout! Supporting the restaurant industry by ordering takeout is one small thing I can do and I love to support my faves in Toronto. Tomorrow is #TakeoutDay and I’m happy to take part! I ordered from one of my fave Thai restaurants @sukhothaifood and happily ate their delicious pad Thai, crispy shrimp rolls and the Khao Soi (promise, I shared! 😉). What’s your fave restaurant in your city? Tag them below to show them you care and order some takeout or delivery if you can 💚🥡.

Infusing all the flavours from one of my fav cuisines - Thai! These sticky and spicy Thai chicken wings are packed with flavour. They also have further convinced me that messy foods are the best foods, am I right?! They’re worth the messy hands and potential sauce all over your face 😛. They’re made with a thai sweet chili sauce, lemongrass, coconut sugar, fish sauce (the magic ingredient) and Thai basil. You can check out the full recipe up on my site, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo!

Happy Fry-Day! It’s almost the weekend and whipp

Happy Fry-Day! It’s almost the weekend and whipping up these 30 minute crispy oven baked fries would be ideal. I’m all about topping them with rosemary, sea salt (or truffle salt!!) and a little parm (or a lot 🙈). Does anyone else feel like this week was a lotttt!? I’m so ready for the weekend to relax a bit, and get some work done that I couldn’t get to this week.
.
If you want to see how I make these fries, check out my full blog post to get all the tips and tricks. If you make them, tag me so I can see and be jealous 🍟😬. Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo to check it out.

You know when you go out to a restaurant you’ve

You know when you go out to a restaurant you’ve been to a hundred times and you think to yourself “should I try something new?” But then you end up getting the tried and true fav of yours 🙈. That’s me, is it you too? Pretty much every time I go to @freshrestaurants I’d get the same thing- the photo salad. I don’t believe they have it anymore 😕 so I had to make it at home. This soba noodle salad is PACKED with protein from some crispy tofu and buckwheat noodles. Plus I loaded it up with greens from cabbage and micro greens. But quite possibly the best part- the creamy super savoury tahini dressing. It’s not your typical tahini dressing trust me! It’s got tamari, sesame oil and a few other pantry staple spices. You’re gonna want a double batch just FYI 😬😬.

I think I found my new phone background 🍪🍪.

I think I found my new phone background 🍪🍪. These brownie cookies are not only dreamy looking but they’re super tasty too. I’ve loved seeing these brookies pop up in my DM or as a tag on IG and hearing how much you all love them too. I’m not trying to play favourites but these may just be the best cookie recipe I’ve made. If you like fudgy brownies, you’ll love these brookies because that’s kinda what they taste like but just in cookie form 😍. You can check out the full recipe on my blog, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🍫.

What’s a dreamy duo you’ve loved combining? Mine is def this cookie/brownie situation!

I couldn’t let taco Tuesday and cinco de mayo pa

I couldn’t let taco Tuesday and cinco de mayo pass by without making some kind of taco post 😏. So when you’re wanting street corn make this Mexican street corn salad 🌽🌽. It’s seriously SO good! You can find the recipe on my site, I put the link on this photo! I’m gonna be making this in the summer ALL THE TIME. I also created a completely vegan version of this for my friends at @motherraw, so go check out their website to grab that recipe.
.
Are you doing tacos tonight?! Margs?! Tell me below 👇🏻👇🏻. I’ll be making my pulled jackfruit tacos on thinly sliced jicama “taco shells.” The recipe for that one is on my site too, just search jackfruit or DM me and I’ll send you the link!

Are we still in baking mode? This is obviously a trick question 🙃. No matter the season, or what’s going on in the world, baking is always the answer, regardless of the question. And today I gotchu covered with these healthy, vegan baked oatmeal cups. I packed them with some plant-based protein using one of my fav protein powders from @genuinehealth. And loaded them up with frozen blueberries that were sitting in my freezer for a questionable amount of time 😬. I kept the ingredients to a minimum but they still have lots of flavour! If you wanna check out the full recipe, it’s now up on my blog. I HIGHLY suggest slathering some cashew or almond butter on top of them while they’re still warm 👌🏻. You can check it out by clicking the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

Three vegan mason jar salads ready to go... even if you’re not actually going anywhere 🙃😉. I love making these salads for quick lunches or even a light dinner. All three options are on the blog! Which one are you interested in eating first?
.
Vegan Mexican taco with walnut taco meat and a cashew cream sauce.
.
Crunchy quinoa and chickpea with almond butter dressing.
.
Vegan pesto pasta with chickpea pasta.

I’m going with Mexican first because I’m kinda obsessed with how good that walnut taco meat is. If you’ve never tried it before your tastebuds will thank you 😋. Link in my bio grab all three recipes!

Have you ever had a meal so good you remember it e

Have you ever had a meal so good you remember it even four years later?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ When I went to NYC, I went to the amazing @charliebirdnyc and fell in love with their farro salad. As soon as I got home I recreated it and blogged about it. Re-reading that post recently made me smile, firstly because it was so poorly written from an SEO standpoint, not to mention the photos 🙈 and second because it reminded me of that delicious meal I had. So I deleted that old blog post and re wrote and shot the photos. Because this farro salad should be getting a lot more love ❤️. You can check out the new/old post and full recipe now on my site. Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo. This salad is bougie AF, (lol @raisetherootmarket) 😜😚 and honestly SO SO good! The grated parm, pistachios, farro, arugula and sweet potato make for the best combo.
.
Although I’m always looking to improve on things, especially my photography, I have to admit I’ve come a long way from where I was! There’s no secret formula, it just takes patience and practice 📸.

Hump day happiness comes in many forms, one of the

Hump day happiness comes in many forms, one of them has to be these chicken fingers with hot honey 🍯. I love making these and freezing them for quick weeknight dinners. Make a big batch of the hot honey bc I’m telling you, you’re gonna be all 😍 when you taste it (so long as you have a spicy tooth). I dunno if spicy tooth is a thing but I just made it up 🤷🏻‍♀️. You can find the full recipe and learn how to make these seven ingredient gluten free and paleo chicken fingers by clicking on the link in my bio.

What’s bringing you happiness on this hump day?

Nothing wrong with the amount of baked goods I’v

Nothing wrong with the amount of baked goods I’ve been seeing on my feed lately. But sometimes I crave salads too 😉🙃. And this lentil and kale salad is THE BEST. Yup I said it! It’s the kind of salad that gets better the longer it sits and I think it’ll turn anyone that’s iffy about lentils (or kale) into a fan. I was inspired by the just-keeps-getting-better lentil salad from @bonappetitmag and made a few swaps. I mean this salad has so much flavour, you’re gonna love it!

I’ve got the full recipe up on my site now. You can click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🥬🥗.

Got outside today for a bit and felt all those spring vibes ☀️. And nothing says spring like fresh rolls. If you can get your hands on some rice paper, I highly suggest making some of these rolls. Even if you can’t, you could also make these wrapped in some Swiss chard instead. I’ve got three different versions to choose from all served with one delicious peanut sauce 😋. And if you’re worried about how to make these rolls, trust me they couldn’t be easier to make!
.
Which one would you choose? I’ve got shrimp, a mango-avocado-noodle and crispy tofu. Personally the tofu and shrimp are my faves! You can find the full recipe at the link in my bio. Just tap on this photo.

What happens when you want a brownie but also a cookie? THESE brookies happen and they’re sooo good! Fudgy, and oh so chocolate-y while still soft in the middle, these cookies are my dream cookie. Top it with some flaky salt because that’s how I make nearly every cookie 😜🧂. They also just happen to be grain free and gluten free too 😬. The full recipe and how to is now up on my site. Check it out by clicking the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🍪🍫.

What kind of cookie should I make next??
