Egg Roll Bowl

This is one of the easiest meals you can make! A bag of coleslaw is the shortcut and trick of this speedy dish. A few condiments for flavour and your dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes!

Rustic Apple Cake

I’ve been nostalgic lately for recipes that are from my Mom and Zias. This is one that never had a formal recipe, it was always made by feel and with lots of love. I have recreated it, with my own spin on it to include more protein (sour dough starter or yogurt, added ground almonds and oat flour), and I it tastes just like I remember it! It makes me smile to think of the memories that this cake evokes!

Carrot Cake Bliss Bites

I love having healthy treats on hand for that mid-afternoon or after dinner sweet tooth or when someone drops by unexpectedly. Great with a cup of tea or coffee, these Carrot Cake Bliss Bites are perfect as they are quick and east to make, very satisfying, healthy, and pretty too!

Walnut Yogurt Tea Loaf

This is a one bowl wonder loaf! Quickly made and only 35 minutes to bake – perfect when company says they’re dropping by last minute! Delicious to enjoy with a coffee or a cup of tea, a slice of this loaf is delicious, gluten free and a lovely alternative to a muffin. Use other nuts or a combination of nuts if you wish. Served with chia jam is so so good!

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash is traditionally a Fall vegetable even though it’s available mostly year-round at grocery stores. No matter what time of year it is, I love making this soup as it’s easy to make, nutritious, rich, satisfying and delicious. Don’t shy away from a butternut squash – it is remarkably easy to peel! Acorn squash not so much but that’s a recipe for another time!

Roasted Butternut Squash, Kale & Sage Orzo

Simple to make, healthy and nutritious, it’s a great way to create a delicious plant-based meal. Squash and kale are readily available and versatile and butternut squash peels easily. So cozy, so delicious!

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.

Overnight Breakfast Quinoa Bowl

Here is a little something deliciously different for your breakfast! We all know overnight oats. This recipe is overnight quinoa that makes a wonderful, wholesome, nutritious breakfast bowl.

Quick & Easy Snickers Bark

Recipes for ‘bark’ have been trending all over Instagram and tiktok. This is my recipe for Bark – made in 5 minutes and then popped in the freezer to harden. So easy and so good!

Simple One Pan Make and Bake Oats

This is a great recipe for a fast, made in one baking pan, baked oats recipe for a nutritious breakfast. Like many of my recipes it takes minutes to put together and 20 minutes in the oven and then you have a delicious warm, cozy breakfast that is good year-round. I love oatmeal any time of year!

Date Slice

A delicious and nutritious gluten and dairy free loaf for breakfast or a snack. The dates are the star of this recipe and give the loaf just the right amount of sweetness. The strong coffee or brewed tea to soak the dates enhances with a delicious subtle flavour.

Fresh Asian Inspired Cucumber Salad

A different take on a cucumber salad! It’s fresh and delicious and so easy to make! Perfect as a quick healthy side for lunch or dinner on a hot summer day or any time of year!

4 in 30 Squares (No Bake, GF, DF)

AKA – No Bake Almond Flour Cashew Butter Snack Squares. Pretty long name for squares that only have a handful of ingredients and are ready in less than 10 minutes, then set in the fridge for 30-60 minutes. You had me at Almond Flour as I love the flavour and texture it gives to baked goods. These made with all-natural peanut butter are just as delicious! Yum! Why are these called 4 in 30 Squares? Read the recipe to find out!

Flax Egg

Flax 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.

Blueberry Muffin Coffee Cake

Such 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!
