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.

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, cook for fun for some of my fave people and catch up on life.
.
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. Working on an air fryer option soon!

Portable and savoury oatmeal muffins are pretty mu

Portable and savoury oatmeal muffins are pretty much my fave item to meal prep for breakfast 💯. Not only are they super easy to whip up, but they freeze well too. You can serve them with a fried or poached egg on top if you want 👌🏻. They’re such a nice change from sweet oatmeal or overnight oats. If you feel like you need to switch things up, definitely check out the full recipe on my blog!

The ONLY gluten free cookie recipe you need 🙀!

The ONLY gluten free cookie recipe you need 🙀! OMG you guys, these pumpkin spiced cookies are IT! These cookies are packed with pumpkin flavour, spices, dark chocolate, @lees.provisions brown butter ghee and pecans. Plus I made them using some affordable, easy to find gluten-free flours like oat (just be sure they’re certified GF) and rice flour (plus a little tapioca). This blend results in soft, chewy cookies with a melty chocolate center and those much sought after ripples around the edge. I’ve got all the tips to make these, plus the full recipe up on my blog now 🍪🍪. They’re rich, buttery and indistinguishable from a wheat cookie! I hope you love them as much as I do. Recipe inspo from the very talented @the_bojon_gourmet 👏👏.

What’s it’s been like being in a new relations

What’s it’s been like being in a new relationship! Although it’s not new new, it’s been nearly a year 🤪. I’ve realized I haven’t shared much about what it’s been like being in a new relationship (post heartbreak). And after I shared about that, I want to share the happy too, so here it goes.

For years I didn’t think I was deserving of more.
Of unconditional love and support.
Of someone who treated me kindly and with respect.

On some level I allowed the shitty behaviour in that relationship to continue. Words said to intentionally hurt my feelings, even if I pretended they didn’t (I’m a tough cookie - Capricorn sun after all ♑️). I allowed it all. When I think of why, it’s actually pretty simple - I didn’t think I deserved better.

It wasn’t until months and months after my long term relationship ended, combined with therapy and talking about it with close friends that I understood how not normal the comments he often made about me were. But I get it now. I deserve to be treated with love and kindness and that starts with ME. This was the lesson I needed to learn before I got in a new relationship. And I was tested on this again and again while dating (dating can be hard!). I was discovering more about myself, my needs and wants and the patterns I had grown accustomed to over decades of men in my life letting me down. I once again had to realize that I deserve to be a priority. So while I was dating someone else last year, I ended things with him because I knew deep down I deserved more and he couldn’t give it to me emotionally.

And no more than a few weeks after that I met someone who’d prove to me again and again that I’m worthy of it all. Sometimes I feel like I manifested him (more on that if you’re interested 😏) and other times I feel like this is all a dream because I’m not used to being treated with so much love and support from a man - thank you @shaynegold87.

Say no to things and people that don’t align. Say no to people that don’t know your worth. Because someone out there will, and that, that’s your person.

I’d take the hurt and pain all over again just to be where I am today. If you’re going through it now, trust that it will get better ❤️.

Soup season is HERE! Bring on all the warming and comforting foods, just like this Thai butternut squash soup with red curry. This recipe is completely plant-based, packed with flavour and hearty. It also freezes well, so you can make a big batch. If you want to check out this recipe I developed, be sure to follow @rily.good because it’ll be up there soon!

It’s FRIDAY- let’s have some pie. No bake peanut butter pie to be exact. I don’t call myself a baker and pies aren’t really my thing tbh, buttttt this no bake one is so easy to make 👌🏻. All it takes is some patience to wait to eat it as it’s sets overnight. Honestly that may be the hardest part- waiting 🙄. It’s got layers of PB and a coconut whip on top plus chocolate sooooo I’ve hit all the major food groups 😬.

SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER! Oh myyyy the

SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER! Oh myyyy these are one of the tastiest sides I think I’ve ever made with sweet potatoes 🍠. The combination of sweet and savory, ease of preparation (under 30 minutes!) and short list of ingredients definitely helps. The crunchy topping made up of toasted spiced nuts + @lees.provisions brown butter ghee + lime + hot honey is EVERYTHING 😍. Check out the full recipe up on my site, or hit save for later!

I can’t even count how many times I’ve made this apple crisp over the past few weeks- lets just call it recipe testing 😉. It’s so good though, and it’s made with easy, staple ingredients you probably have in your pantry. Plus one bowl! So grab some apples and get baking 😋.

Perfect with a scoop of ice cream and my easy caramel sauce (made from dates 👌🏻). Link is in my bio ❤️

The one elusive dish that’s soooo hard to make a

The one elusive dish that’s soooo hard to make at home- it used to be paid Thai.... 😜. But I’ve since learned a few tips to make it myself at home and do it WELL! I absolutely LOVE Thai food (it’s one of my top five fav cuisines) but making it at home was sooo daunting. I could never get it right, it’s been years of me trying (and failing)to make it correctly. Look I’ll be real, it’s not as good as the one you get from truly authentic Thai places (like @paitoronto in Toronto) but it’s pretty good. I don’t have all the same techniques or ingredients, but this pad Thai version does make it a lot easier to make it at home. For me it’s all about the sauce and this tamarind sauce is IT! You can make it at home too, click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo or save it for later 👌🏻.

Is there a type of seafood that intimidates you to

Is there a type of seafood that intimidates you to cook at home? For me, that used to be scallops, but I’m happy to show you that cooking scallops at home is not only delicious (and nutritious), but also really easy too #ad. And when you cook with seafood that has the @mscbluefish label, you’re also choosing a certified sustainable seafood option. The MSC blue fish label is easy to look for when shopping (swipe to see what it looks like) and it ensures that the seafood and fish you’re buying is not only good for you, it’s good for the ocean too. Scallops are high in trace minerals such as selenium and zinc (excellent for skin & hair too) and a great source of omega 3’s.
.
So how do you cook scallops at home? It’s easy, you’ll just need to follow a few simple steps and use my tips to get seared, perfectly cooked scallops every time.
.
Step One: Ensure that your scallops are dried very well. Line a plate with paper towels and blot them dry.
Step Two: Heat your pan over medium heat (I like using a cast iron pan). Once the pan is very hot, add a good splash of oil (avocado or olive oil).
Step Three: Season your scallops with salt and pepper right before searing them.
Step Four: Add the scallops to the pan and put a timer on for 2 minutes. At this point, the scallops should easily lift from the pan and you can flip them. Cook for an additional one to two minutes (depending on the size and thickness).
Step Five: optional, but during the last 30 seconds of cooking, add some butter or ghee to the pan. Using a spoon, spoon the butter over the scallops. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate. Enjoy!

I have specific criteria for a GOOD salad:
1. Filling and hearty
2. Crunch factor
3. Delicious!
And this vegan kale Caesar salad hits all of them! It’s the one I make again and again and have been for yearsssss. And I finally got around to blogging it. It’s the only vegan caesar dressing you’ll ever need (bold, i know 😬). You can find the full recipe for this up on my blog now, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.

What’s your non-negotiable when it’s comes to a GOOD salad??

Vegan bolognese, yes please 🍝. Make this for Me

Vegan bolognese, yes please 🍝. Make this for Meatless Monday or any day of the week, it’s surprisingly light and has the best texture thanks to some mushrooms and walnuts. This is the easiest bolognese EVER. Meaning you can whip it up in 35 minutes 💯. Serve over your fav pasta, mine is bucatini lately (love that hole in the middle that soaks up extra sauce 😋). You can find the full recipe up on my blog now, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo! Serve with a nice glass of red 🍷 and enjoyyyy 💯.

When you want apple crumble but in a bar form - make these 😍! Easy to make, no fancy ingredients and topped with the most delicious (drizzly) caramel sauce EVER (yup I said it). This sauce is better than a real caramel sauce IMO because it’s not as sweet, plus you don’t even have to turn on the stove to make it, you just need to soak some dates. Check out the full recipe now up on my blog, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo, or save it for later 🍏🍎.

Have you tried jackfruit yet? If not, I recommend

Have you tried jackfruit yet? If not, I recommend starting with these pulled jackfruit gyros! Whenever I make jackfruit I’m amazed with how it turns out 😍. Just look at the crisp factor on it in the second photo 👉. This has quickly become THE most pinned recipe for me this year and I can see why, it’s absolutely delicious 😋. With a cook time of 30 minutes, it’s also fairly easy for a weeknight meal, maybe just prep the rest ahead of time (chopping, and the vegan tzatziki).

I *think* I can change the minds of any brussels sprouts haters with this crispy skillet brussels sprouts and pancetta side dish. Because just look at that char 🔥. These sprouts have so much flavour from crispy pancetta, a drizzle of maple syrup, toasted pine nuts and chopped dates. I’m talking minimal ingredients, one skillet and 20 minutes total!

Too early for turtles?! Although these are conside

Too early for turtles?! Although these are considered a holiday food, I think we can eat these any time of the year 😍🐢. I had so much fun making these because not only are they so simple to make (they’re only 5 ingredients including salt!) but look how cute they are too 🥰. The date-cashew butter caramel provides the perfect chew. And just look at the little turtle body made of pecans, I can’t 🐢❤️.

These little bites are packed with flavour, nutrition and they’re perfect as a crunchy little topper 💥.

I’ve got THREE different flavour combinations to keep things exciting! Just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.
