Jicama Tacos with Jackfruit: Grain Free & Vegan

May 11, 2018 By jaclyn 8 Comments

I cannot even begin to tell you how good these jicama tacos were. And I want to throw out that term “life changing” but it’s sooo overused (in the blogging and food world) and I don’t want you to think these are overhyped because they are not. I was talking about them for days after I ate them and I knew I had to blog this recipe. It may seem a little odd to use jicama as the base but it works. Trust in the process friends and make these jicama tacos in some form because they are legit PERFECT for spring and summer.

Vegan Creamy Avocado Sauce + BIG NEWS

March 27, 2018 By jaclyn 2 Comments

Yum

Do you ever make a recipe or a meal so many times that you just know it by heart and you don’t even need to write it down? That is what this vegan creamy avocado sauce is to me. I’ve made it so many times with so many variations and it always turns out incredibly delicious, whether you have it on pasta or zoodles, you’re gonna love it. When I made it the last time, I literally sit there the whole time saying, “damnnnnn, why don’t I make this more?” Yeah, it’s strange that I sit and say this to myself, but what can you do. At least I was eating it alone? hah…

Vegan salad bowl with crispy baked Tofu

February 15, 2018 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

I think most of the time you either love tofu or you hate it. I hope to change your mind just a bit with this vegan salad bowl with crispy baked Tofu. When it comes to whether or not tofu is healthy, there are some pretty strong opinions on both sides. Some say it’s bad because it messes with your hormones or your thyroid and others think it is a complete health food. I’ll get to what I think later, but I like to always consider different sides no matter what before making any opinion. Plus, I really don’t believe in demonizing any one food or food group, so you won’t find me doing that here either. …

I am a BIG latte fan which is surprising to some people because I don’t drink coffee. Is that weird? I don’t know, I just never liked coffee and have never had a cup before, I am really into tea though, especially matcha!

So today I am sharing my fave superfood mushroom latte, aka brain fuel, featuring one of the best products out there and one of my personal faves- Four Sigmatic. …

I’ve had my fair share of energy balls in my life, these chocolate energy balls are probably my fave. Why? Because they are super rich, chocolatey and contain so much goodness in terms of the ingredients. I love to have them on hand for whenever I need a quick boost of energy or want a snack. They are great to keep in the fridge or freezer for whenever you get the urge. And with these chocolate energy balls, that urge can happen a lot because they are THAT good. …

As an ambassador for Manitoba Harvest, I was so excited when they reached out to me to write a blog post about how to eat hemp hearts.

So if you are curious as to how to eat hemp heart or if you have never used hemp hearts and want to know how, enjoy this post!…

Benefits of Protein Powder + My Top Picks

October 31, 2017 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

I used to HATE protein powders. I thought they tasted chalky and would often overpower my smoothies. So I avoided them altogether and used chia or hemp in my smoothies instead. While this is still a good approach, I also wanted to up my protein in the morning to make sure I was getting enough. The benefits of protein powder are impressive, but as with all things, quality is majorly important. As you can tell, I am pretty picky when it comes to picking a good protein powder. Now that I have found some I truly love, #notsponsored, I want to share them with you and also learn from you about which ones you love.

Healthy Chocolate Muffins + How I Deal with Anxiety

October 20, 2017 By jaclyn 4 Comments

Yum

Whenever I have a bunch of spotty bananas lying around, I either peel and freeze them or make banana bread. This time, I made healthy chocolate muffins and they are so good! They did not last long in my house as the BF (and I) just devoured them. They are not overly sweet, so you can probably pair them with some fat (like almond butter or coconut butter) and have one for a snack. …

Easy Healthy Snack Ideas: How To Snack Mindfully

October 17, 2017 By jaclyn 5 Comments

Yum

To snack or not to snack, that is the question? While I don’t believe there is anything wrong with snacking, it can sometimes be a cue that our meals were not as balanced as they could have been. This can cause issues with our blood sugar causing mood swings, hanger, shakes and general bitchiness. Nobody wants that, right?! So if you are going to have a snack, you might as well make it a healthier option. Have a look at my easy healthy snack ideas to get started.

Miso Gravy: The Sauce of Your Dreams

Yum

Well hello there, miso gravy! It has been a while since I posted a new recipe. I didn’t intend to take a break from recipe testing at all and I have definitely still been cooking. But, for some reason, I have just been cooking for me rather than for the blog. Meaning, I haven’t been writing everything down or photographing my food in the most flattering of ways. Instead, opting for quick snaps for Instagram or Instastory. But with a new season upon us, it is time to get back to recipe development I think. This miso gravy was reason enough to write out a post!…
