Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
This cake! It reminds me of that McCain chocolate cake with frosting that I used to devour when I was younger. Except this version is a lot healthier and even has some zucchini in it. It’s a gluten free zucchini chocolate cake and I think you’re gonna love it. Because not only is the cake itself delicious and moist (sorry for using that word!), it also has a rich and SUPER EASY chocolate frosting. I’m talking just four ingredients here!

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.

Can you believe its March already?! I’m not sure where the first few months of 2020 have gone already, but is it safe to say, I am kinda excited for the arrival of spring? I know, we definitely have more of winter to get through, but the promise of spring is coming. And I’m so excited for all the fresh produce coming up, and of course more pool hangs at my condo with friends. But before we welcome spring, let’s appreciate the more seasonally appropriate veggies we do have. This roasted cauliflower salad with wild rice is so hearty, you can eat this as is for a full meal. It’s got lots of flavour going on, with the addition of za’atar, halloumi, pomegranate and California Prunes, which are available year-round.

Usually, I am pretty basic when it comes to salmon, I love cooking it on a cast iron and creating a crust on the skin. Then I season it with just sea salt and lemon. It’s my go-to when I don’t know what else to make and I have become reliant on it for so long. So, I definitely needed to switch it up when it comes to cooking salmon. Enter these healthy salmon burgers with a wasabi aioli on top and a side of the most simple slaw. This whole dish is perfect for spring and summer because it is light and easy to throw together.

Have you ever wondered if you should be eating fermented foods or taking a probiotic? Or both? The nutrition world can be a confusing place sometimes. But I am here to try and explain why you would want to take a probiotic and the difference between taking that and eating fermented foods. Curious about fermented foods vs. probiotics? Let’s get to it!

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. And this shredded brussels sprout salad is the new one. 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.

For some strange reason, I’ve never made my own PB cups. Growing up though, I loved the classic cup combo so I am surprised that I never got around to making my own. I think it’s because somehow I was convinced that they would be too much trouble to make. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth. These protein peanut butter cups are SO EASY! Plus they are made with one of my new favourite plant based protein powders and I snuck a little jam in there as well. You are going to LOVE them so much, promise!
