Truffles seem like one of those indulgent items that are probably too complicated to make yourself, right? That’s what I always thought too, but it turns out, they’re actually REALLY EASY to make. I wanted to create healthy chocolate truffles that tasted decadent but remained dairy free. The truth is as much as I love dairy (gimme all the cheese) I don’t have it that often as I find it makes me break out. Turns out, an easy swap of full fat coconut milk (from the can) will work as a great substitute for heavy cream.

As someone who doesn’t like coffee, matcha has always been my go-to in times of a caffeine hit. I have always loved tea, especially green tea and whenever I go to a Japanese restaurant, I always want a matcha dessert at the end. There is something so delicious about a creamy matcha creme brûlée, my personal favourite dessert at a local sushi spot in Toronto. I wanted to create my own type of dessert using matcha, so this vegan matcha cheesecake was born. I also knew that I wanted to add in a little something extra, so I used some of the cheesecake to also make a raspberry version too. The addition of the sour from the raspberry complements this vegan matcha cheesecake quite nicely….
I’ve got two new recipes this week, who am I?! Sometimes, the recipe ideas just come in waves and I am riding it this week. I created these no bake pumpkin bars with a couple ideas in mind.

Curious about collagen, or what about gelatin? In this blog post I am sharing with you my favourite paleo chocolate pudding made with gelatin and coconut milk. As much as I love 
These paleo chocolate cookies with sea salt hold up on their own as is, without a “paleo” or “healthy” label. I truly became obsessed with a version of these cookies at my fave local spot, 
This is my first pancake recipe on the blog! To be honest, that isn’t too crazy when I think about it. I am much more of a savoury breakfast person so I don’t do pancakes very often. And second, I am so picky when it comes to pancakes. I want them fluffy and light, but also nutritious and kinda healthy. I just don’t like overly sweet things, so you’ll never find me ordering a stack of pancakes when I am out, it’s eggs all the way. The problem with using more fibrous flours is that they aren’t as fluffy, but these spelt pancakes are so good, it doesn’t matter. So you may lose a bit of fluff, but trust me, with the toppings you won’t even notice. Plus they are much more filling. …
Lets just preface this whole post and recipe by saying these chickpea brownies are not your typical brownie. And I am ok with that. So, if you make them, you should be ok with that too. That isn’t to say that regular, baked ooey-gooey brownies don’t also have a place at the table. They sure do in my book. But, if you want to try something a little lighter and a no-bake version, these chickpea brownies might just do it. They are vegan, contain no refined sugar and are gluten free, plus they have lots of fibre and protein. Curious? Read on… …
