Healthy Pad Thai: Delicious and Authentic

January 14, 2020 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

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…

I’ve been wanting to create savory oatmeal muffins for a while now. The idea has been swirling around in my brain for weeks. But I didn’t quite know how it would work and what it would taste like. I decided to just go for it and the results speak for themselves. These little muffins make the perfect snack, or breakfast. And because they are so portable, they are great for a quick grab-and-go option.

As summer is s l o w l y approaching here in Toronto, I am excited and filled with so much optimism for the warmer weather. Yes technically we still have spring coming, but with all the rain we’ve been getting lately, it’s hard to imagine spring is actually coming. But, I did get to experience just a little preview of summer when I was in Vegas a few weeks back for my friend’s bachelorette. I had SO MUCH fun! It was a well needed girls trip that had me laughing so much, I didn’t want to come back to reality. But before I left for Vegas, I made these vegan mason jar salads. And let me tell you, they are all so delicious. They would make a perfect on-the-go, travel lunch too.

How a Weekly Meal Planner Can Help with Intuitive Eating

Yum

Although it may seem like meal prep and planning doesn’t fit into the intuitive eating philosophy, I don’t think that’s the case. By having a weekly meal planner, it can significantly lessen the burden of what to eat, and, if done correctly it can be part of your intuitive eating journey as well. Gone are the days of having the same boring meals everyday, lifeless salads and grilled chicken. Meal prep and having a weekly meal planner can actually be fun and part of a healthy lifestyle, promise. …

Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats: Vegan Pumpkin Pie Flavour

Yum

I am usually late to the game when it comes to new trends. So in staying with this theme, it only makes sense that I very recently added an Instant Pot to my life. I got it in the summer and have really begun using it more and more now that fall is here and winter is coming (yes that is a GOT reference). But, I can totally see why people are raving and loving their Instant Pots, they make cooking a lot easier and so much quicker. I was so impressed when I made these Instant Pot steel cut oats in only minutes. Plus the best part, is that you just set it and it does its thing, you don’t need to hover over the stove, stirring and watching the oats cook.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl + Meal Prep Tips

Yum

Want a quick and easy breakfast idea? I know, I love a good, quick, healthy and easy recipe for the weekday mornings. Which is why I created this sweet potato breakfast bowl. If you can roast the potatoes the night before (or even on the weekend when you have more time), you can easily whip this up. All you need are some fun toppings, a blender and some kind of nut butter, oh and sweet potatoes of course. I love getting creative with the toppings so I feel like I am having something different from day-to-day. The other great thing is that I’ve had this both warm and cold and both work.
