Paleo Falafel (no beans!)
Ground nuts, seeds and fresh herbs make the perfect texture and flavor in these bean-free, low-carb, and keto falafel balls. First, I have to say:: I have nothing against beans! I love them… sometimes. It’s just nice to have options, you know? A recipe for those days where you’re all like, “I want falafel, but…
Oil-free Mashed Root Veggies – Healthier Mashed Potatoes
Mashed root vegetables seasoned with a touch of dill, pepper and salt. Simple, delicious and hearty. You need to have this dish on your Thanksgiving table this year. Yes, yes you do. Since I’m Canadian and couldn’t use Thanksgiving as an excuse to make this veggie mash, Kevin and I planned a get together with…
Coconut Cauliflower Rice
Bits of cauliflower enveloped in a toasted coconut milk and cardamom sauce. Coconut “rice” without the grains or starch. My girl Melissa from Clothes Make the Girl just launched her new cookbook, Well Fed 2 – a collection of recipes for people who love to eat. People who love to eat? That’s ME! (And I…
Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup (grain-free + paleo)
The thing that drives Kevin absolutely, crazy insane? When I create a really, really, really good recipe for the blog… and then never make it again. It’s not that I don’t want to make it again, I do. But I create upwards of 15 recipes a week. Going back to old favorites just… doesn’t happen.
Tropical Lime Kale Salad
I made a batch of 5-Minute French Fries earlier this week, smothered the whole plate in mustard (yeh, I like mustard on my fries) and proceeded to chow down to my hearts content. I got halfway through the batch and just couldn’t have another bite. I was stuffed.
Fresh n’ Raw Pad Thai Salad
I love enjoying food. Like, taking my time preparing a bunch of different sides, salads and entree options with not a care in the world. Like, sitting leisurely as I pick away at my plate. Like, indulging in a simple dessert with absolutely no guilt.
Gluten-free & Vegan Meal Plans
Many of us want to nourish our bodies with healthy, home cooked meals that will make us feel good about ourselves, our bodies and our future. A bunch of you out there are also quite new to the vegan, gluten-free or grain-free eating style or are interested in learning more about it. And I just…
Paleo Cranberry Flax Stuffing with a Grain-free Bread Recipe
Christmas is a week away (as if you need a reminder) and you need a new stuffing recipe. Yes, you do. If you’re like most of the folks out there, including myself, you’ve done the same thing year after year, relied on the same recipes for the holidays… it’s time to spice things up!
Goat Cheese Stuffed Turkey and Quinoa Balls
Christmas is just around the corner and my mind has been filled with appetizer ideas for the big day. Preparing the appetizer table has to be one of my favorite parts about entertaining. I like coming up with unique recipes that will entice people to try new things but be healthy enough for them to…
Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
I know what you’re thinking… ‘Brussels sprouts? Why would you waste a perfectly good post on Brussels sprouts?’ That’s a fair question. I don’t really like them either. That is unless they’re prepared using the recipe below or added to a grain-free veggie bowl like I did here. Maybe it’s all the roasted garlic, the…
