This is one of those recipes that came together in a pinch, but was too delicious not to share. I had done a haul on Naturamarket, and was looking for a way to use the gluten free orzo I ordered. I also had a whole plan last weekend to recipe...
Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
I love recipes like this for the simple fact that they're so versatile. I call these my base recipes. I'll make a big batch of a "base" recipe on a Sunday, and then add new ingredients throughout the week so it doesn't get boring. A quinoa salad is a great...
Peanut butter chia energy bites
I made these guys on a whim last night after getting inspired by a friend’s recipe. They took all of 5 minutes to make and there are so many variations possible once you get the base down. The base recipe for these bites is only 5 ingredients. Yes, you heard me,...
Thai Butternut Squash Soup
I'm very, very excited about how this recipe came out. I actually never work with curry, so I was a bit nervous as to how the soup would come out. Lesson learned, curry is SPICY. I love spice but caution you when making the recipe that if you're sensitive to...

I've been craving pizza the last few days and decided that I was going to indulge on Friday night. I mean, what's better than a pizza dinner, right? I didn't want to use regular dough, so when I saw that cauliflower was on sale at the grocery store, I decided...
Mushroom and Black Bean “Meat” Balls
I stumbled across this meatless meatball recipe a few weeks ago while browsing Pinterest (one of my all time favourite research sites!). I figured it could be a great dinner dish, but also could be interesting as a salad topper for my lunches throughout the week. The recipe looked super...
Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps
Full disclosure, I decided to make this recipe because I had a package of Yves Veggie Ground Round in the fridge that was about to expire. I hate wasting food, so I needed to find something to do with it pretty quickly, and with ingredients I had at home. Since...
Meal Prep Series
Every Sunday I spend the day prepping food for the week. This ensures that even when the week gets crazy, I'll always have healthy meal choices. Over the next few posts, I'm going to share my go to recipes for the different veggie components of my Sunday prep. What's great...
