Vegan Pumpkin Smoothie with Date Caramel Sauce

August 22, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

As August is winding down and September is right around the corner, it’s almost time for pumpkin, right?! Even if this is a bit early, it’s actually a really nice transition smoothie for fall. And to be fair, I am almostttt ready for fall recipes and food. As much as I love summer and all the fresh produce, I really like fall cooking. Crockpot recipes, soups, stews and hearty dishes are some of the ways to my heart. And this vegan pumpkin smoothie with salted almond date caramel sauce is going to make this transition a lot easier.

Paleo Fish Tacos: Gluten Free & Grain Free

August 15, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

Turns out, I am kinda good at keeping secrets because I’ve been making these paleo fish tacos for a while now. Somehow, I haven’t shared it though and that is a shame. So I decided to change that immediately, your welcome! As summer is beginning to wind down (how it’s mid-August already blows my mind?!), and I thought these tacos would be the perfect summer send-off.

Loaded Burger Bowl: With Special Sauce (Paleo)

July 31, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

This loaded burger bowl is my take on a deconstructed Big Mac. And it is damn delicious! To be completely honest, I don’t even want a regular burger on a bun anymore, just feed me this salad and I am good. As long as the special sauce is on there, I don’t need much else in life. I added a few non traditional ingredients, but they work in this recipe and I know you’ll love it too.

Matcha Coconut Ice Cream: No Churn, Vegan & Dairy Free

July 30, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

The temperatures are up over here in Toronto and that means the AC is blasting and the ice cream is melting. At least that is what happened when I attempted to photograph this matcha coconut ice cream. But it was well worth it in the end. I loved making this dairy free, no-churn ice cream because not only is it minimal in terms of ingredients, it could not be easier to make.

Vegan Chia Pudding: Three Ways

June 25, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

For as long as I can remember I have been enjoying chia pudding for breakfast. I love the simplicity involved in making them and how easy they are to store for the week. But, after having the same kind of chia pudding, you can get a little bored with the flavours and toppings. Which is why I wanted to whip up some vegan chia pudding multiple ways and with some fun twists. They are all so tasty and can be made in less than 15 minutes, win-win!

Socca Pizza with Mushrooms, Asparagus & Sage

Yum

What a week it’s been over here! As you may know, I live in Toronto and the Raptors just became the 2019 NBA champs last week. The city basically exploded afterwards and I was smack in the center of it. It was quite the night and it continued today with the parade downtown. In between all of that, I found myself over at a local farmer’s market searching for all the local produce to make this socca pizza. I’ve had socca a number of times before, but this combination of flavours has won me over.

Shaved Asparagus Salad with Feta, Mint and Pistachios

June 11, 2019 By jaclyn 2 Comments

Yum

Recently I had the opportunity to visit a farm here outside of Toronto that grows asparagus. And I not only learned a lot about how asparagus is grown, but I left feeling so inspired. If you aren’t familiar with asparagus, you are about to learn about it and also score the recipe for this shaved asparagus salad. It’s light and fresh for spring and it stores well in the fridge sans dressing.

Vegan Buddha Bowl: Grain Free & Easy

March 18, 2019 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

In the midst of the chaos of moving, I managed to make this grain free vegan buddha bowl. Moving is probably one of the most annoying things to do, right? It’s sooooo much work all to have to unpack everything later. And let’s be honest, nobody really wants to help you move, why would anyone want to volunteer their time to such an endeavour? Which is why I hired movers because they’re getting paid to do it. I do have some help coming from family, but that is more for some of the unpacking and emotional support. And as I am getting older I realize that is exactly what they are there for- in times of need, they are there to help. When shit gets real, they are there for you and I couldn’t be more appreciative of them.

Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Caesar Dressing

Yum

Have you ever fallen in love with a salad? Over the years, I have definitely fallen head over heels in love with a few salads. One was this farro salad, another was this dairy free caesar salad and this one has now been added to the list. This shredded brussels sprout salad has it all. Finely shredded sprouts (thank you mandolin), a tried and true classic caesar dressing, salty crispy prosciutto and crunch from toasted walnuts. You are going to want to make a big batch of this, because you won’t be able to stop eating it.
