Moist and chewy, hearty and healthy, these nutrient-dense treats check off all the “breakfast cookie” boxes! In fact, they’re so satisfying (not to mention seriously simple to make), you won’t even mind, care, or notice that they’re free of gluten, dairy, eggs, and refined sugar. Add to all that the festively familiar spices of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and clove, as well as the classic Christmas-y combo of cranberries and walnuts, they’re a wonderful wintry goodie to share with loved ones of various dietary considerations this holiday season…
Read moreMatcha Moringa Fat Bomb Freezer Fudge
Fat bomb, freezer fudge, decadent nibbles of dangerously delicious delights…they go by many names, but no matter what you call them, they’re darn tasty! Not to mention the fact that the healthy fats keep you satisfied and energized for luxuriously long periods of time making them an ideal daytime dessert or simply just an between-meals pop-in-your-mouth pleasure. Personally I love these little guys about 1-hour to 30 minutes before a workout when it’s been a while since I had my last meal…
Read moreQuick + Easy Fat-Bomb Freezer Fudge
For anyone experimenting with low-carb/higher fat protocols, or those folks (like myself) who have full days and are always looking for little nourishing nibbles to get you through the busy abundance, fat-bombs are where it’s at…
Read moreGrain-Free Banana Loaf
Grain-free with a dairy-free option, this loaf is moist, flavourful, and very lightly sweetened with maple syrup to let the bananas really shine! Enjoy it fresh out of the oven, or slice and store in your fridge or freezer, then grill it up with some butter or coconut oil to enjoy later…
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 moreDark Chocolate Cherry Almond Oat Cookies (gluten-free)
Can I get an “amen” for hearty, chewy, and densely delightful cookies? While I have a wide assortment of cookie recipes here, and of course never say no to variety, I very regularly opt for a biscuit that feels more like a meal than a delicate nibble. I find them so satisfying AND they really do make fantastic prep foods for grab-and-go treats…
Read moreSpiced Apple Galette (gluten-free)
I’ve always been a pie girl. To me there’s nothing quite like the combo of warm baked fruit and a light and crumbly crust for those comfy cozy fall-time feels. But for many, this classic comfort dessert seems a bit too daunting with all the steps. Well my friends, may I introduce to you the galette…
Read moreLemon Lavender Shortbread (gluten-free, refined sugar-free)
Lavender is one of my favourite things on earth. It’s one of my favourite smells, one of my favourite flavours, even one of my favourite colours! It reminds me of the times I’ve spent in France, and in the summer, tending to the lavender bushes in my yard sends me into utter bliss. But it’s not just a sensory delight for me - lavender is one of the most powerful and diverse herbal healers...
Read moreOrange Cardamom Chocolate Cake (Grain/Gluten-Free)
Is it a cake? Brownies? Some sort of loaf? Really these terms are arguably interchanging depending on the shape of the treat in question, and of course some slight nuances in texture. To me, brownies are more dense and fudgey, while a cake is still moist, but much more light and fluffy. A loaf is somewhere in between, lending well to slicing and toasting and smearing some delicious delight on top of it. But what pray-tell is the following recipe?
Read moreRaspberry Red Velvet Power Pudding
Valentine’s Day. An oft-deemed “Hallmark holiday” that for many, inflicts feelings of anxiety, profound loneliness, or simply a sense of nausea coupled with give-me-a-break’s and an eye-roll or two. Yes, I understand that the historical significance of Valentine’s Day has been lost on most, or that the socially constructed pressure of one little day in February seems ridiculous, but what if we shifted our paradigm? What if we see February 14th as an invitation to honour and celebrate LOVE...
