Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
Things just taste better in mini form, right? Well, this mini strawberry rhubarb galette sure does. I also kept these gluten free, grain free and paleo. So if you have some food intolerances, you can still enjoy the delicious, buttery flavour of a galette. And you can’t get more summery than with the combination of strawberry and rhubarb. Top with some coconut whipped cream and you’ll be in dessert heaven, I promise.

Nothing quite says spring and summer like lettuce wraps! And these shredded harissa chicken thighs are so perfect tucked inside. Although this is one of those recipes that are on the messier side (in terms of eating them), they’re well worth the mess. I’ve topped these crunchy wraps with beautiful additions like a spiced almond mix, all the fresh herbs and a simple sumac-lemon yogurt dressing. The flavours in this recipe will definitely make your tastebuds sing and your mouth very happy.

I had the idea in my head to make these vegan sweet potato brownies for a little while now. And I am SO glad I went and made them. These are ULTRA fudgy! And you’d never even guess they have sweet potato in them. In fact I served them to someone without telling them and he had no idea. He was actually quite surprised. The peanut butter swirled into these brownies makes them even better, in a way that only peanut butter can.

Has spring finally arrived?! I think so and I couldn’t be happier with the change in the season and of course all the fresh produce. I picked up some beautiful cherry tomatoes and decided to make this savory gluten free galette. Another great spring find (and one of the best ways to tell that spring is really here) are ramps. So I knew I had to incorporate them in this spring forward grain free galette recipe.

I think that a lot of people think they don’t like lentils. But, that’s probably because they haven’t had french lentils, or black lentils. Unlike green, brown or red lentils, french lentils hold their shape. And if you’re having them in a salad like this, it’s essential to use them so they don’t become mushy. I’ve always been team lentil, but even more so now because they can be used in so many ways. I love crisping them up in the oven after cooking and using them as salad toppers or just eating them on their own, with an egg and all the spices. Hopefully, if you try this french lentil salad, you’ll understand why I love them so much too.

My first attempt at making these healthy brownie cookies was a bit of a disaster. The dough was too dry, but I didn’t want the dough to go to waste, so I added milk and eggs. It helped, but I knew the next time I tested them exactly what I needed to tweak. I’ve really gotten into baking cookies lately, if you follow me on Instagram, maybe you’ve seen this on my stories. Failure is always a part of the baking process for me, but it’s all good, because the end result is worth it. Especially, when the end result are these gluten free brownie cookies.

One of my all time favourite sides has to be potatoes. I mean, you can cook them up so many different ways, what’t not to like about them?! But, if I had to pick a favourite way to cook a potato, it would definitely be fries. Growing up, I’d often times crave McDonalds fries and hit the drive thru just for them. Years later, I started making my own at home. So, I’m pretty excited to share these crispy oven baked fries with you, because everyone should enjoy these from time to time.

WOW, I am just gonna say it- this recipe is INSANELY GOOD. I think it may just be one of fave recipes that I’ve posted in a while. It’s got everything – spice, comfort and it’s still pretty healthy too (which is a bonus!). I mean, what more can you ask for in a recipe? These paleo chicken tenders are baked in a delicious coating of almond flour and savory spices. And then you dunk them in a wildly delicious hot honey with some fresh thyme. Winner, winner, (paleo) chicken (tender) dinner!

Falafel has been a longtime favourite of mine and something I’ve made a lot of in the past, but I never thought to make a falafel burger. I’m so glad I did and created these delicious and easy falafel burgers. These vegan falafel burgers are grain free, packed with fibre and contain tons of fresh herbs. The herbs provide all the flavour and also help make the falafel bright green too.

One of my all-time favourite muffin recipes is banana nut. I’d get them all the time from Tim Hortons, a Canadian coffee institution. I haven’t had one in a long time, but when I made these healthy banana nut muffins, they took me right back. They’re packed with banana flavour and basically taste like banana bread in muffin form. I also kept them gluten free, grain free and sugar free.
