Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
I can’t 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 and I don’t want you to think these are overhyped because they’re 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 because they are legit PERFECT for spring and summer.

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…

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! But sometimes, I like making lattes or elixirs that don’t have any caffeine at all. And a lot of the time I like making elixirs and lattes that fuel my brain and give me energy, because why not?! 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. Because sometimes for us foodies, we can over complicate some things. So this type of post helped remind me to keep it simple and share with you how exactly I use these products in my everyday life. 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!…
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.

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. …
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!…
So were deep into summer and it was hot AF outside when I made this, but I would do it again just to have another slice. Usually, when it comes to summer desserts, I am all about keeping things cool and un-baked. But, when I had some zucchini from the market, I just had to try it in a loaf instead. I had been seeing zucchini baked into things for a while but never tried myself. Well, I sure am glad I changed all that and made this healthy chocolate zucchini bread.
