No-Bake Fudge Brownies

A sweet treat is a lovely indulgence, especially when it is a healthy, nutritious No-Bake Fudge Brownie with a ganache topping! These delicious squares are easy to make, delightful to serve and delicious to eat!

NO Fat Leek & Zucchini Soup

This soup is perfect to get your greens in, when leeks and zucchinis are plentiful (and affordable!) in the grocery store! It’s so simple to make and is a very satisfying, lovely, delicious tasting smooth blend that has a delicate earthy flavour.

Chocolate Hummus

Chocolate Hummus is a perfect addition to a school lunch box as it is nut free, or an office lunch, packed along with some fruits, small pretzels or crackers for dipping, this makes a great treat for kids and adults alike! It is also delicious and nutritious spread on bread or pancakes or swirled into oatmeal to start your day and fuel your morning!

Marry Me ChickPEAS

Similar to my Marry Me Chicken recipe, this time it’s with chickpeas, a fabulous source of plant-based protein and fiber, for a healthy, nutritious vegetarian/vegan twist that is every bit as delicious and satisfying as when made with chicken.

Simple Green Morning Smoothie

When I get busy (I ask myself, why is life SO busy…) what I need are fast to make, nutritious, healthy foods to fuel my energy and nourish my body. Cue my Simple Green Morning Smoothie! The simple ingredients in this smoothie are a powerful nutrient-dense combination that supports so many body functions with complex carbs, protein and fibre to provide energy throughout the morning! Enjoy!

2-Minute Pancake Bowl

Another quick breakfast recipe – this time an individual gluten free 2-minute pancake bowl! Top with your favourite pancake toppings – a pat of butter (dairy or plant-based) and a splash of maple syrup, or load it up with a tablespoon of a nut butter of choice, yogurt, chia jam, nuts, seeds, a drizzle pf honey or a splash of maple syrup!

Coconut Thai Jasmine Rice with Cashews and Lime

Thai Jasmine rice is aromatic on its own, and becomes a unique and showstopping dish when combined with coconut, cashews and lime. The options are endless as this Thai rice recipe pairs perfectly with a veggie stir fry, saucy slow cooker dishes, meats of all kinds, tofu, tempeh or soy curls in a smooth teriyaki sauce, even served with eggs for a meal on the table in less than half an hour.

Hearty Mushroom Stew

Easy to make, so flavourful and cooks in a much shorter time than a traditional stew, this Hearty Mushroom Stew is perfect and delicious when you want a slow roasted rich taste in a shorter amount of time. Mushrooms have a toothsomeness to them that makes this recipe great for the carnivores and the veg lovers at your table! And it’s even better the next day as leftovers!

Smashed Chickpea Spread

This delicious Smashed Chickpea Spread is a delicious way to get plant-based protein and fiber into your diet! Made in just a few minutes, it is perfect served with crackers, stuffed into a pita, enveloped in a wrap or my favourite, spread on a piece of toasted multigrain bread topped with avocado and tomato slices.

Simple Homemade Mayo

A super simple recipe to make homemade mayo! Most homemade mayo recipes have eggs in the ingredients – this recipe does not. In fact, this recipe is vegan. Made in a matter of minutes with simple ingredients, it tastes delicious! Use it as you would any other mayo! Add a dash of hot sauce to spice it up to use as a dip! You’re welcome!

No-Bake Date & Nut Bars

These bars are a delicious and nutritious treat. Made in only a few minutes, with minimal ingredients, they are great to have in the fridge for when you need a little something sweet. Cut into squares, triangles, bars with a sharp knife or into hearts for a Valentine’s themed indulgence.

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Oat Squares (GF/DF)

I was inspired to make these squares as I had a jar of delicious hazelnut butter in the cupboard and thought it would be a nice change from peanut butter in baking. It looks like a lot of ingredients but it comes together quickly and the results are delicious. Don’t be tempted to bake them until they are really browned – they will be too crumbly that way. Enjoy these for breakfast, a energy boost snack or for dessert.

Stone Fruit Crisp

My gluten and dairy free Stone Fruit Crisp is a medley of ground almonds, oats, warming spices, natural sweetener, nuts and coconut. Combine that goodness to top slices of ripe nectarines, peaches, plums or pitted cherries and bake to create a delicious and nutritious juicy fruit-bottomed, crispy-topping dessert. Leftovers are wonderful for breakfast the next morning!

Cashew Milk -(Plain and Chocolate)

Making your own plant-based milk with cashews is so easy. The cashews are soft and blend smoothly so there is no need to have to strain the pulp out as you have to do with other nut milks. Cashews are rich in fiber, iron, high in magnesium and the unsaturated fat in cashews is predominantly a healthy oleic acid (the same as in olive oil). Plain cashew milk is delicious to use in coffee or tea, over cereal, in baking, or to drink on its own. Adding cocoa makes chocolate cashew milk which is heavenly!

Muffin In A Mug

A single serve muffin in a mug – ready in under 5 minutes! I love making overnight oats, but when I haven’t made them the night before, or if I want a warmer breakfast and a treat at the same time, I make this breakfast muffin in a mug! Make one for each person as no one will want to share!
