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.
Read MoreI make different plant-based milk beverages and smoothies quite often. I love the nutritional benefits they provide. Having a spice mix ready makes the preparation so much easier. My Spiced Turmeric Latte is a perfect example and the reason I created my Golden Milk Spice Mix. This spice mix works for the latte and also for my Golden Milk Smoothie!
Read MoreMaking pickled red onions is easier than you can imagine and so delicious! Red onions aren’t as pungent as yellow cooking onions and pickled, they work deliciously in so many ways - toss them in your salad to add a delicate zest, add them to your sandwich or wrap, use them in your savoury cooking recipes, add them to your burger, tacos or burritos or serve as a side.
Read MoreThese are so easy to make and so so good! This is an old recipe from when I wanted to recreate the scallion pancakes served at many Chinese restaurants. I just love those and didn’t want to have to wait until another visit to a restaurant to enjoy these delicious flatbreads/pancakes.
Read MoreThe ease and quickness of how this recipe comes together will make it a favourite of yours and in your dinner recipe rotation for family and guest! 10 minutes, a small smoked ham, some red onions and a few ingredients to season are all you need to have a lovely, delicious meal in under an hour! Flavourful leftovers are great in sandwiches, cut up in salads, added to pasta with butter and parmesan cheese, or eaten cold as a snack.
Read MoreA healthy dry mix for breakfast, to have in a jar in your pantry, then simply add milk of your choice and cook on the stove top or in the microwave for a couple of minutes. The result: a steaming, delicious, nutritious bowl of rich oatmeal goodness in just a few minutes.
Read MoreCranberry sauce - some people love it and some people pass on it altogether. While I love a tart cranberry juice mixed with sparkling water, I find traditional, and especially commercial, cranberry sauce too sweet for my taste, so I make a healthy Cranberry Chia Sauce instead, keeping it very simple with very little processing and sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. What is leftover after Thanksgiving is wonderful as a jam – a slice of baguette with a bit of brie topped with some cranberry chia sauce – delish!
Read MoreI have discovered Whipped Feta this summer, and what a lovely treat it is. Easy to whip up (pun intended!), so delicious and with so many uses, we have had this recipe on repeat! Simple ingredients, a few minutes and you have a wonderful appetizer and a topping for just about anything – sandwiches, salads, pasta, veggies… Topped with the kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and herbs, this whipped feta is next level in deliciousness.
Read MoreAnother no-bake treat – the ingredients are very similar to the Tik Tok Rice Cake PB Cups but this time in a crumbled snack. I made mine super simple with just 3 ingredients. Quick to make - mix together, spread out on a pan, put in the fridge to set, break it up and there you go! So yummy a snack!
Read MoreWhen the weather is hot, I love a quick to make, no-bake, one-bowl-no-food=processor-needed treat recipe. These nutrition-packed strawberry bliss bites are stored in the fridge and make a cool treat when you need a bite of something healthy and a little sweet for that bit of energy you want.
Read MoreFlax eggs – like chia eggs – isn’t egg at all but rather a healthy egg substitute in vegan baking. A hen’s egg adds leavening (rising), binding, flavour and colour to a baked good where a flax egg or chia egg adds the binding but no rising of the batter. Flax eggs are best used in coffee cakes, pancakes, muffins and squares – baked goods that do not need a lot of rising.
Read MoreHomemade Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing - a few ingredients, 2 minutes and you have a delicious and healthy dressing to top your romaine, or to use in many other ways – dollop on a sandwich, a bit on a hard-boiled egg is so yummy, top a burger (may I suggest my Best Black Bean and Quinoa Burger) or use as a sauce when cooking meat. Plus, there’s no excuse to not include a salad with your meal when you have a dressing ready to go in the fridge! Boost your nutrition everywhere you can!
Read MoreSuch a lovely coffee cake! It’s delicious and is a wonderful cake to make to serve with a cup of coffee or tea or for dessert with some whipped cream and blueberries on top. Its consistency is a little denser, and why it has ‘muffin’ in its name. It’s utterly divine! It makes a delicious breakfast treat too!
Read MoreAn all-natural cough elixir that works! I have given this ages-old recipe of mine to so many people lately who have a Spring cold or have a covid cough and chest congestion. It’s got a kick to it from the cayenne and ginger, a sweetness to it from the soothing honey and best of all, it really works!
Read MoreEveryone needs that delicious recipe that they can make when they need to feed a group, a dish to take to a pot luck or to have leftovers for a quick, nutritious dinner another night. This recipe has you covered! It will get you rave reviews and satisfied tummies! It’s a comfort food dish that is great year-round.
