Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
No bake anything for the win, amirite? Really, what’s not to love about no bake cheesecake. Not only is it way easier to make, you also really can’t mess these up. These healthy no bake cheesecake jars are so simple to make and taste amazing. They also happen to be gluten-free, and refined sugar free and I have an easy swap for a vegan cheesecake too.

We all know the best part of baking cookies, right? Eating the raw dough of course. I don’t know about you, but I love sneaking bites of it while I’m making a fresh batch. So, why not just make (and eat) straight cookie dough instead?! Well, now you can, because this healthy cookie dough is the EASIEST no bake edible cookie dough recipe there is. With just eight ingredients (including salt), you can easily whip these up and enjoy a bite whenever you want, no bakign required.

If you love chocolate, you’ll love these double chocolate muffins. Ultra moist, soft and pillowy, these gluten free and vegan muffins are made to impress. Made with a hot chocolate mix and studded with marshmallows and chunks of dark chocolate, they may just be more cupcake than muffin? Regardless, you definitely need to try these hot chocolate muffins to see for yourself!

I’ve been loving lentils for a long time! And I usually find that people either love them or hate them. It’s kind of become my personal mission to change those lentil haters into lovers. One way to do that is to use the correct lentil for the job, and it doesn’t hurt to make them crispy. Beyond that, you’ll learn why certain lentils are better than others at getting them crispy. Let’s make some crispy lentils!

Growing up, I never really ate oatmeal. It was more of a quick cereal (or pop tart!) kinda household. So when I got older and started living on my own, my whole world was turned upside down when I tried overnight oats for the first time. Prior to that, I had hot oatmeal and it was ok, but I didn’t add in fun toppings (aka nut butter) or anything. Since having overnight oats years ago, oats have become a big part of my breakfast now. And these protein packed, blueberry baked oatmeal cups are the new star of the show. They make a great meal prep option and they’re just so easy to whip up.

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.

Although we had our first hit of snow this past week here in Toronto and it’s been looking like winter, it still is technically fall. Which means that crisp apples, pumpkin spice and all those things should *technically* still be the dominant theme. And so, I decided to make these gluten free apple cinnamon muffins. They are sort of like an apple crisp but in muffin form and they are the PERFECT fall (or winter?) treat.

Is there anything better than chocolate in the morning? I’ll wait… in my opinion, there isn’t anything better. And this is why I love these healthy pumpkin oatmeal bars with chocolate chips. The chocolate is optional of course, so you could leave them out, or use nuts instead. But I will say, there is just something about having a little chocolate for breakfast that feels so right.

When you are craving a slightly fancier hummus, I highly suggest trying this butternut squash hummus. It’s creamy and smooth, but with just a few extra ingredients, it becomes so much more. If you haven’t tried the spice/nut blend called dukkah you are in for such a treat. Once you whip up a batch of it, you’re going to want to add it to everything.

Lately I have been all about taking traditionally sweet recipes and making them into savory ones. Just like I did with my savory oatmeal muffins, I am doing it once again with this savory granola. Although this is called granola, it isn’t a typical granola at all. But for lack of a better term, and for some SEO purposes, I am calling it savory granola, insert *shrugs shoulders* emoji.
