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…
Our Vintage Breakfast Wedding
Kevin and I met in September, 2008. He had recently moved to Canada from Germany, I had just completed my studies in Holistic Nutrition. We were best friends long before we realized there was something more to our relationship. Although Kevin; he says, knew from the very beginning that I would be his wife.
It Nearly Cost Me My Life. Don’t Let This Be Your Mistake, Too
I have been hospitalized for anaphylactic shock 2 times in the last 10 days. With both reactions, the symptoms came on strong and fast. My lips swelled, airway became constricted, hives covered my body and my skin, mouth and throat burned and itched.
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…
4-Ingredient Maple Salmon
A simple 4-ingredient salmon recipe that takes just minutes to prepare and will satisfy everyone… even if they don’t like salmon! It’s rare that Kevin and I go a week without preparing a meal for the ones we love. When I heard about Food Revolution Day; a day dedicated to celebrating healthy homemade food with…
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…
Chocolate Power Water
Cacao-infused water with bits of chia seeds for a high-fiber, hydrating drink that will power up your afternoon and cleanse your body. Chia and I are best pals. When I don’t want to add fruit to my smoothies, I use chia. Blend, leave to thicken and BOOM! Thick smoothie, sans banana.
