Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
Cake for breakfast? Yup, and I am HERE. FOR. IT! The latest and trendiest breakfast seems to be blended and baked oats and after making it a bunch of times, I can understand why. Not only is this breakfast super easy to make, it’s also nutrient dense and very, very tasty. So if you want to eat cake for breakfast too, read more to find two of my favourite ways to make these viral blended oats.

No bake anything for the win, amirite? Really, what’s not to love about no bake cheesecake. Not only is it way easier to make, you also really can’t mess these up. These healthy no bake cheesecake jars are so simple to make and taste amazing. They also happen to be gluten-free, and refined sugar free and I have an easy swap for a vegan cheesecake too.

As much as I love a creamy dairy filled sauce, sometimes, I also want a lighter version. And this creamy, dairy-free carrot pasta sauce is SO good, you won’t miss the cream or cheese at all. Made with roasted carrots, cashews and spices it’s extra creamy and also super bright and vibrant too. I love meal prepping a big batch of this and freezing leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner.

One of the things I always order whenever I get Thai food from my favourite Toronto spot is the fried shrimp. They make a delicious dish called Kung Tawt Garlic Shrimp and I love them for that. It’s served alongside a spicy Thai chili sauce and I can’t decide what I like better, the shrimp or the sauce. I wanted to make my own version of it at home. And so, this air fryer coconut shrimp was born! Served alongside a spicy Thai sweet chili sauce, it’s the perfect appetizer to snack on. The best part is that this is made in your air fryer, so you don’t need to use tons of oil to enjoy this comfort food classic.

Salads don’t get the kind of love they deserve IMO. I mean, I get it, it’s not chocolate cake after all, but, when done right, salads deserve more. And this raw beet salad with carrots deserves ALL the praise. This salad is loaded with raw beets, shredded carrots, sliced pear, spiced lentils and almonds and an easy lemony dressing. It’s perfect for meal prep, spring lunches spent outside and sharing with those you love.

Curious about making some cookie bars? Well then, I’ve got a foolproof and easy recipe for you! Cookie bars are essentially cookies baked in a square pan and cut into squares. They have all the flavour of a cookie, with a soft and chewy centre and that perfect golden brown crust. And these mini egg cookie bars are little squares of heaven. They also happen to be gluten-free too!

Things just get 10x cuter when they’re mini, right?! I’ve recently fallen in love with quail eggs. Not only are they mini and super cute, they’re also really tasty and a nice change from regular eggs. And they’re perfect in these crispy shredded potato nests. I’ve added some Mexican flavours with chorizo sausage, jalapeño and cilantro. These grab and go potato cups are great for meal prep too!

I feel as though I’m late to the mug cake game, but I’ve arrived now and I am HERE. FOR. IT! What’s not to love about a single serve cake made in just over one minute? Beyond being incredibly genius, it’s also very practical too. This vegan mug cake is healthy, gluten-free and has both tahini and chocolate (a match made in heaven IMO). Serve it up with a scoop of your favourite ice cream for a delicious treat!

When you’re craving all the veggies! Go ahead and make some easy sheet pan roasted vegetables all on one tray. The combination of brussels sprouts, delicata squash and red onion cover your various veggie needs. And the sprinkling of za’atar on top brings all the flavour. The addition of pine nuts and halloumi make these sheet pan roasted veggies truly stand out.

We all know the best part of baking cookies, right? Eating the raw dough of course. I don’t know about you, but I love sneaking bites of it while I’m making a fresh batch.

With just eight ingredients (including salt), you can easily whip these up and enjoy a bite whenever you want, no bakign required.
