Cauliflower Lentil Turmeric Stew

May 02, 2018

I do what I do because I want to inspire you to get in the kitchen and learn that eat well doesn't have to be hard. There's this misconception that cooking is complicated. Is it really or is that a story that you're telling yourself because you haven't really learned how to do it? It starts with some basic concepts and having the right attitude to make it fun.

This stew is the perfect example of ...

Egg and Avocado Boats

Apr 17, 2018
I'm always asked what my go to's are for quick breakfasts. These are right up there with my overnight obsession. And how can you go wrong with eggs and avocado, right?
 
Simple to make and the best thing is you can make them on Sunday and eat them all week for breakfast or a quick snack. Change up the toppings if to whatever you like, spinach, mushrooms, fresh herbs, goat cheese....the options a...

Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

Mar 07, 2018
 
Lemon and coconut are one of my favourite flavour combos right now so naturally when I saw a this recipe from the amazing Donna Hay, I had to experiment and came up with my own version to of course include coconut. Adding chia seeds give these a little bit more texture and the coconut butter drizzle cuts down the sugar without sacrificing flavour. 
 
And before we go on, yes these have regula...

Cauliflower Corn Chowder

Feb 28, 2018

I love soup. Especially in the winter (which seems to really want to stick around this year) it's easy to whip up a big batch on the stove on a Sunday afternoon and have it for quick lunches or dinner with a nice salad and some crusty bread.

 

Cauliflower is getting a lot of love lately because it's one of those versatile veggies that you can do pretty much anything with. Roasting the cauliflowe...

Chia Pudding 4 Ways

Feb 09, 2018
You all know by know chia pudding is one of my go to breakfasts and/or snacks. Why? It takes no time to put it together, it's hella good for you and you can mix it up so that you even if you make a big batch you don't have to eat the same ALL week long.
 
I'm all about keeping things fresh and exciting - nothing boring over here. And that's what I believe is the reason we can fall off the eating...

Butternut Squash Black Bean Chili

Jan 31, 2018
Well, we're really in the thick of winter here in Vancouver. And by winter I mean almost a solid month of grey skies - and rain, did I mention rain? I'm not gonna lie, it can wear on me. But this year I made a decision to embrace it and focus on the good stuff to get me through the dark dreary days (you'd think I'd have it down by now because I've lived here all my life - it's a work in progress)....

Arugula, Brussel Sprout, Pomegranate Salad with Chicken

Jan 08, 2018
Happy New Year!
 
It's an interesting time of year, isn't it? There’s this push of new beginnings which can be exciting, but at the same time pretty overwhelming. Especially when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. It makes me sad when people are coming to me feeling so stressed and thinking they need to restrict themselves by going on a crazy juice cleanse or super restrictive diet. And let...

Simple AND Fancy Potatoes

Dec 22, 2017
So I thought I'd share a couple of my favourite side dishes that I make when I want to feel fancy but without all the effort. It's like having a fairy godmother in the kitchen!
 
Both of these potato dishes are the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and fluffy and mashed consistency on the inside. Basically the best of both worlds. And because I love to give you recipes that look fancy...

Spaghetti with Tuna, Olives, Fennel and Lemon

Nov 17, 2017
How have in the world have I never know of the one pot pasta? I mean, seriously? This is one life hack that I feel like I completely missed the boat on somehow. Now, I'm usually behind on my TV shows (don't tell me what happened in the latest season of Game of Thrones) but keeping ahead of what's happening in the food game is usually something I'm all over. All I have to say is, fail on my part. T...

Lamb Meatballs with Herbed Tomato Sauce and Olives

Oct 27, 2017

I’m always on the lookout for meals in which some or all of it can be make ahead. If I spend time batch cooking for the freezer, it helps to know I always have something on hand to make dinner in a snap especially on busy weeknights. Meatballs are great for this because you can put everything together, roll them and then freeze for later. When you’re ready to cook,a you have control over how many ...
