Almond Flour Chocolate Turtle Cookies

I know what you’re thinking… She’s gone rogue for the holidays. This cookie sounds far too decadent. I’ll tell you all what am thinking: fooled ya! Because behind all the conspicuous chocolate consumption (which is dairy-free, by the way) are wholesome ingredients like coconut sugar, coconut oil, raw cacao powder, honey roasted pecans, pasture-raised eggs…… Continue reading Almond Flour Chocolate Turtle Cookies

Healthy Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Deliciously moist and ultra chocolatey double chocolate loaf- thanks to the addition of a little over 1 cup of shredded zucchini. It’s everything you want a rich chocolate cake to be! Hidden veg bonus, but nobody would know it’s there. This recipe is gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-free & has vegan options, too.

Buckwheat Gingerbread Pancakes

Stole a pancake my heart. Well, these ones sure did. You guys have to try this easy recipe. I call it breakfast with benefits: the deliciousness of holiday flavors like ginger, cinnamon, molasses & nutmeg without any of the dairy, gluten or GMO’s of instant pancakes. They are nutrient-dense thanks to the fact they’re made with…… Continue reading Buckwheat Gingerbread Pancakes

Persimmon & Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Well, hello there! How is everyone doing? I had quite the week. Like, quite. Flu season got the best of us, ALL of us that is. I’ve technically been calling myself a “mombie” after a sweet meme a blogger friend of mine sent me. Mombie = mom zombie. I am completely sleep-deprived but fuelled by…… Continue reading Persimmon & Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Gluten-Free Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Pancakes have my heart. The first few weeks after adopting a gluten, sugar & dairy-free lifestyle were really, really hard. I missed a lot of things, but 2 things in particular stood out sharply: pancakes & ice cream. No, I don’t have them together (usually). That doesn’t mean I haven’t tried in the past. I used to…… Continue reading Gluten-Free Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Brussels Sprouts with homemade Lemony Tahini

I believe brussels sprouts deserve more love. They are sort of every kid’s holiday food nightmare. I’d look at them (sulk) and then look away, literally. There’s so many ways to eat them, dress them, and enhance this unassuming vegetable that has endured such a bad rep for so long. They’re kind of like that…… Continue reading Brussels Sprouts with homemade Lemony Tahini

Apple Pecan Pie Oatmeal

  Friday night rolls in and am writing about an oatmeal bowl that, well, tastes like dessert. It’s fully vegan, gluten-free & refined-sugar free. But all you need to read or know is: it tastes like dessert. Just remember that key piece.  I never met a bowl of sweet warm, cinnamon apples I didn’t like.…… Continue reading Apple Pecan Pie Oatmeal

Healthy Pear & Ginger Crisp

The best pear crisp you’ve had, yet made with healthy & unrefined ingredients. I used all the flavor of coconut sugar & all the goodness of spelt flour. Gluten free oats and your choice of grass-fed butter or coconut oil make this dessert a healthy treat that tastes deliciously decadent. And just like that, Christmas…… Continue reading Healthy Pear & Ginger Crisp
