These strawberry rhubarb muffins are the perfect combination of sweet and a little sour. With ingredients like Greek yogurt, flax seeds and pitted medjool dates they’re higher in fibre and protein than your typical muffin 😍. If you can’t find any rhubarb, simply omit it and just use strawberries 🍓. Plus you can make this in one bowl using your food processor or blender!

The full recipe is up on @rily.good and the recipe link is in my bio!

Crispy mushroom veggie burgers 🍄😍. These are

Crispy mushroom veggie burgers 🍄😍. These are definitely one of THE BEST veggie burgers I’ve ever made (and eaten!). I’m a big fan of veggie burgers, and I love when they taste like a veggie burger rather than trying to taste like meat (personally). And these are crispy (thanks panko!) and so so satisfying 🤤. I developed this recipe for @motherraw using their Japanese dressing (prob my fav dressing of theirs) and you can find the full recipe over on their blog (the link is in my bio!). The creamy slaw on top takes it to the next level if I do say so myself. Swap out the regular panko for a gluten free one if you need 👌🏻.

Tell me - What’s your fave topping on a burger?

Meatless bolognese for a light and delicious dinner 🍝. The texture is seriously 💯 thanks to some mushrooms and walnuts (two of my fave whole foods based meaty alternatives). Plus you can use some in season cherry tomatoes 🍅 for the sauce! This is the easiest bolognese EVER. Meaning you can whip it up in 35 minutes.

Chocolate chunks over chips all dayyyyy 😍. I’

Chocolate chunks over chips all dayyyyy 😍. I’m not even kidding when I say I’m a cookie connoisseur 🍪. I take baking recipes quite seriously and these grain free chocolate chunk cookies have been tried, tested (like 8 times at least) and they’re absolutely true! These are slowly making their way to my blog but I’m currently in the process of revamping my blog (omg is it ever long overdue 🙈) so it may take a little longer. Apologies!! But I’m working as fast as I can because I truly love sharing recipes over there. In the meantime, let’s just admire the cookie dough because it’s pretty admirable too 😍.

If I can only convince you of one thing, it would

If I can only convince you of one thing, it would be this- roast your radishes 😍. This rainbow radish salad is so delicious because it has a nice mix of thinly sliced raw and pan fried radishes. Plus these don’t take long at all to cook, even better in the summer ☀️. If you don’t have crispy lentils, use chickpeas or toasted pumpkin seeds 💚.
.
Heres how to make this:
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
1 bunch radish (halved, with tops removed and set aside)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
1 watermelon radish, sliced thin on a mandolin
Fior di latte (for garnish)
Fresh basil (for garnish)
¼ cup @threefarmersfoods sea salt and vinegar lentils
Lemon
Flaky salt
Directions:
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and then add the radishes. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes and then flip and cook for another 3 minutes, until slightly browned, but still crunchy. Add the washed and dried radish tops and cook until just wilted (about 1 minute). Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
Divide radishes and greens on a plate and top with watermelon radish, fior di latte, basil and lentils. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and garnish with flaky salt.

It’s officially iced matcha season! One of my fa

It’s officially iced matcha season! One of my favourite ways to embrace the heat is with one of these (and also a pool 💦). To make this iced matcha, here’s what to do:

Serves two ✌🏻:

Combine 1 tsp matcha with 2 cups of water and blend on high, then set that aside. If you’re using unsweetened milk, add a little maple syrup or honey while you blend 🍯.

Next, fill two large glasses with lots of ice and pour in your milk until just under half way full (I love oat milk)🥛.

Now, go ahead and pour on the matcha mixture. Stir to combine and enjoy!

Side note- splash shots are fun, I’m totally doing more 💦💦. This is my first one and it’s not perfect but I’m happy with it ☺️. And my fav matcha is @soarorganics 💚.

Could this recipe be any easier? Nope! This is possibly the quickest dinner I’ve ever made and I’m not mad about it👌🏻. This dry rubbed jerk spiced salmon is seared quickly on a cast iron for a perfect week night meal. And to help cool things down, you can pair it with my easy mango coleslaw made with a bag of coleslaw, mango, cilantro and topped with a lime dressing and peanuts for crunch 😍 bc I love texture. You can of course grill this on the bbq if you want to as well 🔥. I’ve got the full recipe plus the DIY jerk seasoning blend up on my site now.

I was reflecting on where I was just two years ago

I was reflecting on where I was just two years ago the other day & it gave me chills.

I had recently moved out on my own after a 14 year relationship ended. And on top of that, I was also trying to sort through my own finances & my career. To put things in perspective, I had only two freelance clients that provided some income but not enough to pay my bills & actually live.

Deep down I was scared. With nobody to rely on, it was up to me to figure things out. From the outside, nobody knew how stressed I was, or how I was up some nights with such anxiety about money.

This is the reality of working for yourself. It’s not Friday’s off, lounging by the beach & living this laptop lifestyle with passive income just flowing in. It’s a fucking grind. And if you’re not in it 1000%, it’s not gonna work. And if you’re in the first few years of your biz and wondering why you aren’t making six figures already it’s probably because your expectations are too high. Because those first few years of your business are challenging, exhausting & also the most important. And if people are showing you that running a business (esp in the beginning) is easy, they’re not showing you the whole story: the late nights, the anxiety, the stress, the failures, the disappointments. This IS part of growing your business.

Two years ago, I had to delay buying a bag of matcha because I couldn’t afford it (& if you know me, I loveeee my morning matcha). But it’s also a sacrifice I’d be willing to make again & again. Because from just one year ago, I’ve renegotiated all of my rates for freelance work, have signed on three new clients and I’m feeling grateful AF for these opportunities.

But if I just showed you the new clients, & the glow up in my business that wouldn’t be very honest.

I know this isn’t a typical post from me but it’s been on my mind & wanted to share. If you also run your own business, share with me a lesson you’ve learned over the years ❤️. And if you’re in your first few years of biz and you feel tired and defeated - you got this ☺️

GREEK SHEET PAN CHICKEN: i love everything about a

GREEK SHEET PAN CHICKEN: i love everything about a one pan meal. And this Greek style chicken and potatoes is loaded with flavour from an easy marinade, lots of fresh herbs and of course - feta 🧀. You can easily make this during the week if you marinate ahead of time but it also works if you’re like me and aren’t organized enough to marinate things 😬. I love serving it with a good dollop of Greek yogurt and plenty of pita 😋. The full recipe is now up! Click the link in my bio and then tap on this photo.
