While I was preparing the spiced tempeh & black bean mixture for these burrito bowls, my husband came over and snuck a taste and said, “wow, that actually reminds me of meat!”. Yes! Vegetarian and even vegan options can still be incredibly delicious and satisfying – I promise you won’t miss the meat in these…

Glow Bowl with Curried Tahini Dressing
The other day I impulse-purchased some beautiful heirloom carrots [insert joke here about the dietitian impulse-purchasing vegetables]. How do you say no to RED carrots? I’ve seen the usual shades of purple, yellow and white before- but red? I couldn’t pass those up! These beautiful carrots were the inspiration for the name of this dish-…
Heirloom Carrot and Lentil Salad
Aren’t heirloom carrots beautiful? I love the varying hues of purple, yellow, orange and white.

Heirloom vegetables are not merely a feast for the eyes-…

Beet Cobb Salad with Creamy Hemp-Dill Ranch Dressing
Is anyone out there beet-obsessed? If there is one food I just can’t control myself around, it’s beets (and beet greens!)- pans of roasted beets are known to disappear quickly in my house. They are, without a doubt, a can’t-live-without favourite! The striking crimson of the beet was used to create these beautiful beet-pickled eggs….
Mango-Black Bean Burrito Bowls
Who likes mango salsa? Or should I say who doesn’t like mango salsa? Sweet, spicy, savoury and zingy- it’s classified as addictive in my books! Mango salsa is one of those things that tastes great on just about anything. Try spooning some overtop of cooked chicken or fish, scoop it up with tortilla chips, or…
