Fresh Corn & Blueberry Summer Salad
This salad is a must-make, especially towards the end of summer when fresh corn is in season and oh-so-delicious! Highlighting seasonal ingredients is a great way to get maximum flavour with minimal effort. I also love supporting local farmers by hitting up the farmers market for as many goods as I can get my hands…
Farro & Cauliflower Salad with Mint and Pomegranate
I’m a big fan of meals in a bowl- and by that I mean a dish that contains protein, carbs, healthy fats and lots of veg… something you can toss together in one bowl and take on the go, or dish up for a quick lunch or dinner in minutes. I love whipping up…

Chocolate-Strawberry-Coconut Smoothie + Homemade Coconut Milk
I’ve recently been experimenting with preparing homemade nut milks. I absolutely LOVE the flavour and texture, and the fact that there are no weird ingredients added. The one thing that is important to be aware of, however, is that homemade nut milks are not a good source of calcium like their calcium-fortified counterparts (i.e. store-bought…
Roasted Baby Romanesco with Tahini, Mint & Pomegranate
Romanesco is one of the most gorgeous veggies around, don’t you think? And who knew that you could get them in miniature size?! The intricate cones and ridges of romanesco are mesmerizing- I could get lost staring at their details! These beauties came from my friends over at Babe Farms in Santa Maria, California. Their…
Pasta with Roasted Garlic & Tomato Sauce
This roasted garlic and tomato sauce could not be simpler, but the flavours are truly incredible- you’ll have everyone fooled! This recipe is one that does not have measurements. Cooking without a recipe is so liberating and fun- if you’ve not tried it before, I encourage you to give it a go! I used to…
Turmeric-Tahini-Coconut Bliss Balls
These turmeric-tahini-coconut bliss balls make for the perfect snack. I whipped them up for Father’s Day as my dad loves energy balls and is always requesting I make him some. I was sure to feature some of his favourite flavours in these ones, sweetening them with blackstrap molasses (only 1 tbsp. for the whole batch)…
