I have always been a foodie at heart. That said, I didn't always eat healthy. In the summer of 2008, I was diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune condition: ankylosing spondylitis. This is the story of how I took control of my diet and got inspired to get myself back to healthy. Really healthy. I started eating whole foods- real, nourishing foods. Nutrition-dense foods that would do something for me, & not work against my body. Within a few months, I was able to drive my illness into remission. I want to share with you that it's fully possible (& effortless) to eat gluten, dairy, & refined sugar free while continuing to enjoy the food and flavors you love. Thank you for visiting! -Aleyda. xx

Say it with Chocolate! Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Tartelettes

February 12, 2016March 25, 2016 thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

I was the grinch of Valentine’s Day. Truth. I absolutely recoiled in the festivities surrounding this date. It wasn’t about the sentiment or meaningfulness of cupid’s holiday or anything along those lines. It was just the cheesy, completely over-the-top decor & frilly heart garlands hanging everywhere. From the packed, noisy restaurants dimly lit in an attempt to create a…… Continue reading Say it with Chocolate! Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Tartelettes

Paleo Egg Muffins!

I have never been to Paris, but I want to be French. High in my bucket list of wishes is a trip to Paris in the springtime; when the city is blooming & the quaint streets starting to buzz with people seated at lively outdoor cafes. I joke that I must have been French in…… Continue reading Paleo Egg Muffins!

Monday morning rolls around and we all like to pretend we’re back to eating healthy. Sort of. For the record, I don’t look down with hypocrisy in so-called “Monday Resolutions”; whether to start afresh, to start anew, to go on a clean slate after a weekend of foodie debauchery- the intent is always good. I was…… Continue reading Pear, Vanilla, Avocado & Spinach Smoothie

Paleo Banana Muffins

February 5, 2016December 12, 2016 thedishonhealthy2 Comments

So, are you a muffin or a cupcake person? For me, the answer depends on the time of day you pose the question at. I crave warm muffins for breakfast & cupcakes the rest of the day. Simple enough logic, right? A healthy banana muffin can make for the perfect breakfast to-go, in all seriousness. It’s the ultimate…… Continue reading Paleo Banana Muffins

Caesar Salad with Crunchy Chickpea Croutons

One hot Toronto summer, a little over two years ago… then 28 year-old Aleyda was getting used to the rhythm of every day life with a baby girl & a toddler boy. We were enjoying a spell of glorious June weather; Grace was 4 months & Ethan was about to turn two and a half. A handful. More…… Continue reading Caesar Salad with Crunchy Chickpea Croutons

Brookies: Brownies, Meet Chocolate Chip Cookies!

We like our weekends lazy, but this one was everything BUT. Our weeks are incredibly busy with dropping off kids, picking them up, taking them to dance class & karate, baking, blogging, working, running with the house (you get the idea)! Am sure your weeks are jammed packed, too. I sometimes think it’s an obsession for us…… Continue reading Brookies: Brownies, Meet Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Spaghetti Squash with Sautéed Cajun Shrimp

January 28, 2016August 4, 2016 thedishonhealthy2 Comments

I’ll be brutally honest with you: only a year ago, the mere notion of having “stringed squash” in lieu of actual pasta was completely unnerving. I just wasn’t interested. But I’ll be brutally honest with you again & share that surprisingly; this dish was REALLY good. The squash had a firm texture and was not jelly-like,…… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash with Sautéed Cajun Shrimp

A Turmeric Piña Colada Smoothie

January 26, 2016July 18, 2016 thedishonhealthy8 Comments

This smoothie’s name is a mouthful. But if anyone ever mastered Mary Poppins’ “Super-Cali-Fragilistic-Expialidocious” this smoothie title should be a walk in the park! So Grandma was right all along; turmeric is a powerful natural remedy that helps fight off inflammation. If you ever wondered why curry is yellow, oh well, that’s thanks to turmeric. Turmeric…… Continue reading A Turmeric Piña Colada Smoothie

Change is Good: Crispy Curried Sweet Potatoes, Avocado & Eggs Breakfast

In case you haven’t figured it out… breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! The other thing is; I could eat “breakfast-like” food for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I take my brunch seriously, thank you very much. For many years, I used to skip breakfast altogether. It simply saved money on my student budget, and…… Continue reading Change is Good: Crispy Curried Sweet Potatoes, Avocado & Eggs Breakfast
