Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce: Ready in 20 minutes!

soba noodles with peanut sauce

I think my favourite salad may just be one with lots of noodles. Slurping up saucy noodles is just so incredibly satisfying, right? Adding crunchy veg, and a delicious spicy peanut sauce takes it up a whole new level. So that’s exactly what I did when I made these soba noodles with peanut sauce. It’s got so much kick from garlic to the spicy taste of sriracha that I think I could put this sauce on anything. Plus, it’s the perfect cold soba noodle salad to take with you wherever you go.

Vegan Kale Pesto: No Herbs Required

vegan kale pesto

Pesto is such a classic recipe that reminds me a lot of spring and summer because of the fresh herbs in it. But, to be honest, classic basil pesto doesn’t always do it for me. You have to use a lot of basil to get a decent amount of pesto and also, quite a bit of evoo. So I wanted to create a recipe that didn’t require ANY basil or herbs and also was dairy free and uses less oil. And this vegan kale pesto was born. The bright green colour, the taste and the amount it makes are what makes this pesto such a winner.

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.

roasted cauliflower salad

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.

The Best Ever Veggie Burger with Rice

veggie burger with rice

I’ve had long history with veggie burgers! When I was vegetarian back in my 20’s, I would buy the packaged kinds all the time. And then when I got more into cooking I’d frequently make my own. Then, I stumbled on making this veggie burger with rice and I knew I had created one of the best veggie burgers.

Healthy Pad Thai: Delicious and Authentic

healthy pad thai

I’ve been pretty obsessed with Thai food for a while now. Ever since I had my first bite of Pad Thai well over 10 years ago, I knew it was special. I’d get intense cravings for those delicious rice noodles packed with so much flavour that I’d end up going almost weekly. It wasn’t until I moved from the suburbs to downtown that I had to find a new Thai place to go to. Quickly, I found a new spot that served delicious and authentic Pad Thai and before I knew it, I was visiting frequently. And the obsession continued, until I made this healthy Pad Thai…

Creamy Coconut Chicken Curry: Better than Takeout

creamy coconut chicken curry using a Thai red curry sauce with veggies

When I started frequenting Thai restaurants back when I was in university I quickly fell in love. The flavours, the smells, the spice, I loved it all! I would go to this one Thai place weekly and always order a pad thai. When I got a little older, I tried red curry at a Thai place and my tastebuds were LIT. I kept thinking, why haven’t I tried Thai red curry before!? I knew I had to recreate my own creamy coconut chicken curry at home. Because there is something so special and fun about making your favourite take-out dishes at home.

Kale Tahini Salad with Lentils & Sweet Potato

kale tahini salad with a beet tahini drizzle, gluten free and vegan

Remember when kale was all the rage a few years ago? It was the number one ‘superfood’ on everyone’s radar. As annoying as that term is, it did bring kale front and centre and for that I am grateful. When I first tried a kale salad, I wasn’t a huge fan because I simply wasn’t making it correctly. Now that I have mastered the art of the kale salad, it is my all time favourite green in the winter to make a salad with. This kale tahini salad will completely blow you away with its taste and I can’t wait for you to try it.

Recently, I was having one of those days where I had no idea what to make for lunch. Usually, I keep it pretty simple or have leftovers, but it wasn’t an option on this particular day. And so, these sweet potato noodles made their debut. I am a big fan of sweet potato noodles over other veggie noodles because I find they hold up better when cooked. You can also check out my other sweet potato noodle recipe over here too. This recipe couldn’t be easier to whip up for days where you don’t know what to make.

You know what always intimidated me? Making my own fresh rolls. Amongst a lot of other things that at once confused or intimidated me, it was unfounded. Because once I set out to use those thin rice paper sheets, I realized just how easy they are to use. And then these summer rolls with peanut sauce were born! Sure, it takes a little practice, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’re gonna be a rice paper rolling pro.

CHIA PUDDING, THREE WAYS: Looking for the quickest CHIA PUDDING, THREE WAYS: Looking for the quickest breakfast? For me it has to be chia pudding 💯. I’ve been enjoying these for years now. And I’ve learned a thing or two about consistency and flavour when it comes to these guys. So I’m sharing three different chia pudding recipes on the blog! One of them is this mango-matcha flavour for when you need a little pick-me-up with your breakfast. I’ve been on a major mango 🥭 kick lately and I’ll def be making this version again very soon. Here’s what you’ll need to make them!
- chia seeds
- milk (canned coconut milk is 👌🏻)
- matcha powder @soarorganics
- mango
- coconut yogurt @maison_riviera
- shredded coconut (for topping)

So which one would you choose first? Mango matcha, vanilla raspberry or chocolate-almond-banana? Decisions, decisions 🤔. Full recipe is here - https://holisticfoodie.com/vegan-chia-pudding/

TAHINI CHOCOLATE LAYERED SMOOTHIE: Been obsessing TAHINI CHOCOLATE LAYERED SMOOTHIE: Been obsessing over this vanilla-tahini-salted chocolate layered smoothie lately and I can’t stop making it. I love loading them up with veggies that don’t alter the colour or taste too much, one of my faves is frozen romaine 🥬. Plus romaine is so underrated IMO, it’s an amazing food for skin health too with lots of vitamix A, K and C and folate. Here’s how to make this layered vanilla-tahini-salted chocolate smoothie (save this for later!):
.
Ingredients:
3/4 frozen banana
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (I like @maison_riviera dairy free coconut yogurt)
2 tbsp @parallel_brothers tahini
1/3 cup frozen zucchini (sliced)
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds (or hemp seeds)
Large handful frozen romaine
Scoop of vanilla collagen or protein powder (I love @botanicahealth plant based vanilla)
1/4 cup frozen cauliflower (optional)
2 @ndmedjooldates (pitted)
1 1/2 tbsp @rodellevanilla cocoa powder
Directions:
Add all ingredients except the dates and cocoa powder into a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed, but I like it thickkkk.
Pour half of the vanilla layer into two glasses.
Add the date and cocoa powder to the remaining smoothie mix and blend until smooth, add additional water if needed.
Pour this chocolate layer on top and swirl. Eat with a spoon or straw and top with chia seeds. Enjoy!

It’s been a week over here and I’m looking for It’s been a week over here and I’m looking forward to letting my hair down and maybe making one of these this weekend (or you know 3?! 🙃). I’ve been in a weird funk for most of the week, feeling a bit all over the place, caught in an endless comparison game and unsure of everything I create. And it would be easy to hide, stay off Instagram and act like everything is ok, but I’m a big believer in showing up authentically and imperfectly. Because the truth is, there’s nothing wrong with these thoughts and feelings. But how we choose to show up for ourselves and how we let people see us when we feel vulnerable, messy or uncomfortable is important. After all, we’re all navigating this thing called life, and it can be messy, uncomfortable and hard. But if we only show up to show the beautiful and hyper curated stuff, that endless cycle of not feeling like we’re good enough just continues.

Ok I’m calling it a day very soon and gonna shake it off (and shake up a martini 🍸 with all the olives, obvi 🫒)

Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter + crispy pancetta + crispy capers 🤤. I know, I know, scallops are kinda fancy and intimidating but they’re actually fairly easy to cook. Some tips for preparing scallops, pat them dry VERY well with paper towel. Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add some oil (evoo works the best). Once the skillet is hot, sear those scallops for about 2 minutes (depending on size) and then flip and sear the other side. When they’re almost done cooking, add some butter or ghee to the skillet right at the end and spoon it all over the scallops👌🏻. By doing this, you’ll get a nice browned crust which is exactly what you want in a scallop.
.
Last tip - if you can get scallops from Costco (in the freezer section) that will be the best price (that I’ve found) and they taste 💯. The full recipe for these will be over on @rily.good so be sure to check them out over there!
