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.

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. When I blogged about it three years ago, I had no idea how to write a blog post or take a photo (swipe to see the OG shot). So I reshot it and rewrote it completely. The recipe itself hasn’t changed 👌🏻. So 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 🍫🍫

HOT CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES: all the flavours

HOT CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES: all the flavours of hot chocolate in cookie form- YES PLEASE! I’m in loveeee with these cookies. They’re soft, chewy, fudgy, have pools of dark chocolate, melty marshmallows and a hint of peppermint 🤤. And they also happen to be gluten free but you’d never be able to tell 🤫. I’d say like most of my recipes, they’re healthy-ish, without using any fancy ingredients. Basic gluten free flours, eggs, sugar, hot cocoa mix, and dark chocolate are the main ingredients you’ll need. I’ve got the full recipe up on my blog now, just click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo 🍫🍪. Tell me- are you team flat or puffy cookie? I think you know by now which one I am- flat: ALL DAY, EVERYDAY 😬😍🙌🏻.

If you want the recipe for this plantbased dinner idea, check out @motherraw website for the full recipe! Their maple fig dressing slathered on top makes for the perfect combo 😍.

The easiest ever pecan chocolate turtles 😍. 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 handle it 🐢❤️.

GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES 🎃🍫🍪. These pumpkin spiced cookies are seriously mind blowing kinda good! They’re 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 🍪🍪. They’re rich, buttery and indistinguishable from a wheat cookie! I hope you love them as much as I do.

Is it just me or does pasta taste better when it’s bigger 😏🤔. This big rigatoni is perfect when topped with my butternut squash sauce. This sauce is creamy, savoury and completely dairy free! I’ve tried a lot of squash sauces over the years and I knew I needed to make one that was super savoury. So with the help of a few key ingredients like smoked paprika + chili powder and pan fried sage + pumpkin seeds that’s exactly what this is. This is an older recipe (about two years old) and needed a refresh in terms of photos but the recipe is exactly the same. It’s one of the most searched and popular recipes and I have to agree it’s DAMN GOOD 😍. Plus it’s perfect stashed away in your freezer for a quick dinner 🤗. The link is in my bio to check it out!

I’ve been keeping a BIG secret! . It’s actuall

I’ve been keeping a BIG secret!
.
It’s actually been SO hard to keep this a secret for well over a year now, & I’m literally bursting to tell you. I WROTE A BOOK!!!!! Due out MARCH 2021.
.
I’m proud and in disbelief at the same time. I’ve always dreamed of writing a book. Ever since I was a kid, reading and writing were my favourite hobbies. When I started my blog back in 2016 and allowed myself more creative expression, that dream grew bigger. But the thought of writing it seemed impossible. Some of the closest people to me thought I was crazy & naive to leave my safe job to pursue something that wasn’t making a ton of money. I did it anyway & never looked back. And HERE WE ARE!
.
What’s the book? It’s called “Ditch the Diet,” and it’s a matter so close to my heart. Having lived my life for so many years afraid of eating too much, hiding my body by skipping pool parties, & starting “fresh” nearly every week and new year, I finally broke free from dieting for good. I wrote Ditch The Diet for anyone who wants to feel at peace with food. My approach to food & eating is one of ease & I want to teach you how to do it too!
.
What’s inside:
Chapter One: how sneaky food rules are keeping you stuck in the dieting loop, how diet culture impacts you & my six principles to put undieting into practice PLUS a workbook!
Chapter Two: why most diets inevitably fail & the long-term effects it has on your body.
Chapter Three: how to incorporate nutrition into your life with ease, my story with orthorexia & how you can let go of food fears.
Chapter Four: my go-to pantry staples.
Chapter Five: RECIPES! Over 25 delicious recipes covering breakfast, snacks & sides, mains & of course- dessert.
.
You can pre-order it now on Amazon (link in my bio). If you pre-order, you’ll receive a price guarantee once it ships in March. It’ll also be available in bookstores too.
.
If you’ve enjoyed following along on here, I’d be honoured if you’d help spread the word to friends & family, especially those that you feel would most benefit from this book. Sending SO much love to all of you that supported me throughout the years, I can’t wait for you to get your hands on a copy! #holisticfoodiebook

CHOCOLATE PUDDING! Make Monday or any day better with chocolate 🍫. I highly suggest trying out my easy 5 ingredient chocolate pudding. This recipe was from the archives (2018 to be exact) and I decided to give this recipe some updated photos and cleaned up the blog post itself.

Made without avocado or banana for those that can’t or don’t want it & has some serious gut healing benefits to it too- hello grass-fed gelatin ❤️. Check it out by clicking the link in my bio. For a giggle, swipe to see the old photos taken from a couple years ago 🤪😬.

ONE BOWL PUMPKIN BREAD 🎃. Why not celebrate Halloween by whipping up a batch of this pumpkin bread. It’s moist *sorry for using that word* and has the most delicious vegan buttercream icing on top. Perfect for snacking, dessert or even for breakfast (I’ve done it numerous times). Even if this feels like the weirdest Halloween ever (just me?) at least we can enjoy the food 😅👻😜.

Honey, I shrunk the squash 😅😜. Lame joke I k

Honey, I shrunk the squash 😅😜. Lame joke I know, but have you tried honeynut squash yet? Allow me to sell you on it:
1. It’s way easier to cut than butternut squash, no more nearly chopped off fingers 🤣
2. You don’t have to peel it, the skin becomes soft like delicata squash.
3. It contains two to three TIMES as much beta carotene as butternut squash.
4. The taste is sweeter because it’s more concentrated- less water weight.
5. It was bred for taste specifically, so it’s TASTY af 😋.
Now that you know, I hope you look out for it. And then make this stuffed honeynut squash with mushrooms, farro, pine nuts , Parmesan and lemon. Simple ingredients (less than 10!) but so much flavour. This is a perfect vegetarian side dish, or main! Check it out by clicking the link in my bio, or hit save for later.

I’ve officially hopped on the air fryer train, and I’m full steam ahead 😬! I’m so excited to partner with @tfal_canada #sponsored to share more about their Easy Fry Air Fryer. If you love crispy food, but don’t want to deep fry or use tons of oil, then the T-Fal Air Fryer is the way to go and it makes life so much easier! Not only is the cook time lessened (saving you time), but you’ll save money by using less oil (significantly less actually!). Plus, it’s super simple to use, just set the temperature and the timer & close the lid. The first dish I wanted to try was cauliflower buffalo bites. Because it’s hard to get them crispy without frying or baking in the oven for twice the amount of time. If you want to make them too then a T-Fal air fryer is the way to go, check out the recipe below and hit save to make it later! You can use the code JACLYNTFAL15 to save 15% off the purchase price of the T-Fal Easy Air Fryer as well as other products.
.
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces
¾ cup brown rice flour
⅓ cup milk (any type will work)
⅓ cup water
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ cup butter (or ghee/or vegan butter)
⅓ cup hot sauce
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl add the flour, milk, water, spices and salt and whisk to combine. Dip each cauliflower bite into the batter and place on a plate, until half are coated. You’ll do the remaining bites while the first batch is baking.
Working in batches, add the cauliflower bites to the air fryer (don’t overcrowd!) and bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes (depending on the size of the bites).
Meanwhile, add the butter and hot sauce to a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir.
Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and toss with the hot sauce. Serve with a blue cheese (or ranch dip) and celery sticks. Enjoy!
