Summer-friendly, no-bake gingersnap balls with dried fruits and seeds. No nuts or medjool dates included! In a few short weeks, I’ll be driving from Calgary to Whistler BC to attend Wanderlust; a 5-day outdoor yoga + music festival in the Canadian Rockies. (Can’t wait to take you along with me!) I’ll be on the road…
Chocolate Avocado Freeze Bites
Frozen cubes of vanilla-flavored avocado coated with dark chocolate. 2 months ago, a self-made vegan + paleo vanilla ice cream on a stick with a hard chocolate shell quickly inspired me to work frantically on a new summer cookbook. It’s a vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, banana-free popsicle no-bake cookbook. More details to come very, very soon.
Crisp Eggplant Chips with Smoky Seasoning
Thinly sliced eggplant rounds sprinkled with homemade smoky seasoning and slow roasted until crisp. Who knew that sprinkling eggplant with seasoning and slow roasting for an hour would create such a delicious (healthy) snack? I sure didn’t.
Nourishing Turmeric Milk (golden milk)
Defy age and neutralize free radicals with this dairy-free milk recipe made with soaked almonds, soft medjool dates and loads of antioxidant-rich turmeric. I believe in conscious living. When I get lost in cravings, think negatively about my body, or push myself too hard, I remind myself that::
Coconut Chunk Curried Kale Salad
Gluten-free, paleo and vegan salad with curry-infused roasted vegetables in a tart lemon sauce, folded in with fresh coconut meat, kale and pomegranate seeds. There was a sale on whole coconuts at the grocery store the other day… so I bought 7 of them. Now, I am on a mission to come up with new…
No Potatoes! Potato Salad (paleo)
Classic potato salad with a tangy cream sauce, loaded with fresh herbs and finely chopped fresh vegetables. Only, there are no potatoes in this potato salad! Because potatoes spike blood sugar (which increases the likelihood of sugar cravings after consumption), I chose to make this potato salad with… Rutabaga! I was a bit skeptical at…
Dairy-free Cream Sauce
This dairy-free, vegan and paleo cream sauce is the answer to your recipe woes. You can spread it, bake it, pour it and drizzle it just like any other creamy sauce out there. I was put on a heavy dose of steroids and anti-histamines following my anaphylactic episodes. They made me ragging hungry at every…
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…
Food Re-networked Series: Lemon Meringue Pie
Healthier lemon meringue pie with a grain-free + nut-free crust, filled with a tart lemon curd filling and topped with billows of meringue. Oh my goodness, I haven’t had lemon meringue pie in over 10 years. It was torturous waiting for this pie to set. By the time it was ready, it was too late…
Paleo Quiche with a Nut-free + Grain-free Crust
Paleo quiche with a nut-free, grain-free crust. Filled with roasted organic asparagus, organic leek and free-range eggs. Pure, simple, good. I grew up disliking quiche. The whole concept of cooked eggs in a pie crust just didn’t do it for me. It wasn’t an omelet, it wasn’t pie… and we ate it a lot. Let’s…
