Read moreSticky Toffee Muffins (grain-free, dairy-free option)
With holiday gatherings and seasonally inspired dinners in full swing, and Christmas just around the corner, my mind is unavoidably drawn to warming images of festive feasts and friends gathered around heaps of sweets, treats, and nostalgic nibbles. But you know what’s not so festive? Crushing a bunch of refined sugar and foods you might be sensitive to, and feeling like garbage all season long...
Read moreWalnut Date Muffins with Orange Zest
I just love the combination of dates, walnuts and orange. I use them in salads, side dishes, and even to add a little life to my mains like chicken or halibut. Because of this apparent affinity to these ingredients, I often have all three taking up space in my rather modestly sized fridge. Another thing I often having lingering around and overflowing out of my cupboards and refrigerator drawers is a plethora of alternative fours...

This decadent dark chocolate espresso cake is grain/gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-free, egg-free (in fact it’s totally plant-based), and therefore hopefully pleasing to a number of your brunch guests with dietary considerations.

Read morePumpkin Pie Power Balls
If you’re like me, you spend your fall season in a pumpkin-y haze. Pumpkin-spice lattes, pumpkin pie smoothies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes, and then of course classic pumpkin pie…if there’s a way for me to infuse pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger into something I’ll do it. Well, here’s one more seasonal treat to add to the list – pumpkin pie power balls...
Read moreRaspberry Lemon Cashew "Cheesecake" (raw, vegan, paleo)
There are endless iterations of cashew cheesecake out there, but this version has a lovely, light, almost mousse-like texture perfect for hot summer days when you still want something sweet, but not overly heavy. Plus the seasonally appropriate raspberries and fresh lemon juice give it a delightful zing, that in my humble opinion, couples wonderfully with a refreshing sparkling adult beverage of choice...
