Mediterranean Vegan Stew

Mediterranean Vegan Stew

I’m headed on a little solo trip to NYC this morning for a 4 day photography workshop coupled with 3 days of checking out some of the best gluten-free meals the big apple has to offer. I’ll be posting oodles of pictures on Instagram if you’d like to join me in my hostel staying, subway…

12 Healthy Winter Dinner Recipes

12 Healthy Winter Dinner Recipes

I love dinner, you love dinner, we all love dinner! I love dinner so much that I (accidentally) used a knife to chop a chunk out of my thumb Wednesday night in anticipation for dinner. Major fail. Those bell peppers were just so slippery and my thumb got in the way of the awesomeness that…

Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry

Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry

This time last year, I was putting together the final touches of my trip to India. I was just days away from boarding the plane to Mumbai and remember being so flippin’ scared that I was either going to die of fear en route, or get lost and never find my way home. But I…

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…

Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

300 calorie meal. Sounds tantalizing, doesn’t it? What if I told you that 1 serving of these cabbage rolls weren’t 300 calories, but 260? And I’m not talking about a tiny wee portion either. Ridiculous, right? Ah, I know!

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

When we first met, Kevin knew he was sensitive to lactose but ate it anyways because he didn’t think there were any other options and had no familiarity with dairy-free recipes. He had Parmesan on his pasta instead of nutritional yeast, shredded mozzarella on his pizza instead of vegan cheese, 1% cow’s milk in his…

Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)

Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)

If the dessert crackers from last week didn’t entice you, I’m sure that these will. They’re crunchy, savory and taste a lot like Wheat Thins, believe it or not. Also, don’t let the flax-base scare you. They’re not your average flax cracker. In fact, they’re anything but. I remember the first time I made flax…

Snugglebum Leftover Turkey Soup

Snugglebum Leftover Turkey Soup

Snugglebum warm was an expression my Mom always used when she wrapped us up in a billion layers and kicked us out of the house to play in the snow for awhile. According to urban dictionary, a snugglebum is a human heater – that special someone in your life that cuddles up with you to…

Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)

Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)

I have a weak spot for DIY chocolate bars. Given the popularity of the no bake homemade Twix bars I made for Halloween, I’d say that you all do too! The no bake version was made with a no bake cookie base, sunflower butter and medjool date caramel and allergen-free chocolate, but wasn’t safe for…

Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts

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…
