For the last 10 years or so I’ve eaten a diet that’s primarily pescaterian. I’ve never had a particular issue with eating meat, I just didn’t really have a taste for it, and I never force myself into eating foods I don’t enjoy. Naturally we’ve been home significantly more since...
Vegan Cauliflower Pasta “Alfredo”
Truth be told, I’ve never really loved cream based sauces. I like the idea, but a few bites in and it’s just too rich for my blood. I have however always really enjoyed how tasty a cream based sauce can be, so over the years I’ve experimented with different ways...
Brown Sugar Garlic Baked Chicken
This recipe is reminiscent of one my mom use to make for us as kids. She used to call it "sticky chickey" and it was basically a sticky Asian inspired chicken wing. I decided to mirror (or try to anyway!) the recipe last night for the hubs, but using chicken...
Curried Lentil Stew
I never thought I would be a curry girl. I've never enjoyed Indian food, but always liked the smell of curry. I would then try a dish someone would swear by, and it still never really did it for me. Recently, as I've been experimenting more with flavours, I decided...
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,...
Easy Pad Thai Recipe
To honour the fact that I worked this weekend and didn’t grocery shop or meal prep (yup! It happens. Life gets in the way sometimes!) I’m posting a throwback to my glass noodle pad Thai recipe. Most pad Thai sauces use fish sauce for the salty component, but I made...
Chia Pudding with Homemade Blueberry Jam
These little chia pudding jars make the perfect grab and go breakfast. The recipe makes 4 200 ml jars of chia pudding, so that covers you for most of the work week! You can double the recipe to get you all the way through if you want too! The jars...
All about eggs!
Truthfully, I love eggs. They're such a versatile and healthy food, and generally my protein go to. They’re high in omega 3, a great source of protein and they’re rich in selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B6 and 12 as well as various minerals like iron and copper. The other things...
Chickpea, feta and Pesto Salad
This salad is so simple it doesn't require much of an into. I'm a huge pesto fan, so any time I can find a vehicle for it, I'm a happy camper. This tasty little salad is perfect on its own, or a great addition to a large green salad. I...
