Maple Hemp Almond Butter

Maple Hemp Almond Butter

In case you haven't already noticed, I love nut butter. Straight out of the jar with a spoon. So good. I always make my own nut butters at home, and I usually keep two types on hand. A sweeter recipe that's irresistibly delicious, and a basic/savoury recipe that can also be incorporated into sauces. I make a different version each time. My basic ...

Salted Date Caramel Chocolates

Salted Date Caramel Chocolates

Normally, I am pretty lazy in the kitchen. I prefer to eat things that are quick and easy to prepare. This becomes even more apparent when my partner is away for work, and I often find myself sitting down to something simple like chopped raw veggies (I can't ever get enough of cucumbers) sprinkled with sea salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast, ...

Eggplant Noodles with Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Eggplant Noodles with Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Have you ever heard of making noodles out of vegetables? If you're trying to reduce refined wheat products or processed foods in your diet, these noodles are a great way to enjoy a pasta-like dish. I got a Big Boss Slice-A-Roo for Christmas, and I've been having lots of fun playing with it. I've made noodles with harder veggies like carrots, beets, ...

Banana Pear Cinnamon Smoothie

Banana Pear Cinnamon Smoothie

Even though it's winter, I'm all about smoothies in the morning lately. It's been a very mild winter in Edmonton, with only a few cold spells. The temperature has hovered just above or below 0C for most of January and February! I'm not sure what winters in Edmonton are typically like, but I hear they're definitely not like this. I have a feeling ...

Once you get comfortable with using plant-based foods, it comes so easy! Stock your kitchen with healthy foods - if you buy healthy things, you'll eat healthy things. So while cleaning out the fridge ...

Raw Pumpkin Spiced Granola

Raw Pumpkin Spiced Granola

There are certain snacks that I always try to keep a supply of on hand. Granola ranks pretty high up on the list, somewhere around crackers and granola bars. Granola makes for a quick and nutritious breakfast. It's great with almond milk and freshly chopped fruit, but on rushed mornings even just a few handfuls will do nicely. Another option on ...

Superfood Chocolate Brownie Truffles

Superfood Chocolate Brownie Truffles

I have a confession to make. I hate the word superfood. Like, hate it. In my opinion, every (edible) plant is a superfood. They all provide us with their own unique combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Who are we to say that one food is better than another? Variety is the key. The more types of plant-based foods you ...

Stripetti Squash with Tomato Sauce and Walnut Crumbles

Stripetti Squash with Tomato Sauce and Walnut Crumbles

A few weeks ago I brought home a stripetti squash from the farmers market. I had never heard of a stripetti squash before, which is basically why I bought it. Thanks to Google, I later discovered that the stripetti squash is a cross between a delicata squash and a spaghetti squash. The skin is striped like a delicata, but the flesh separates into ...

Autumn Breakfast Fruit Salad

Autumn Breakfast Fruit Salad

After spending the end of October/beginning of November in Fort Lauderdale and Freeport (with a brief visit to Ottawa in between), My partner and I were welcomed back to Canada with a paper cut from the Customs form, snow, and coming down with a cold. Thanks Canada, we missed you too! It's basically winter in Edmonton now, with a temperature of ...
