This salad is almost too fun to eat! It may come as no surprise, but I absolutely love and am inspired by colourful foods. Not only does their colour represent body-boosting nutrients, their vibrant hues are almost impossible to resist. If you’re a beet lover (like I am), this salad is for you! Ingredients: 4…

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…
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)…
Taco Salad with Smoky Tahini-Lime Dressing
Healthy eating does NOT have to be boring and bland! Actually- healthy eating can be the complete opposite!

This salad is just that-…

White Bean & Beet Dip

Coconut-Cashew Chai Spiced Energy Bites
Oh my gosh- these bites though. The smell of the chai spices is intoxicating. I’m fairly certain I said that out loud while rolling these into balls! I’ve been making a batch of energy bites every couple of weeks to keep in the freezer. I pop a frozen bite or two into my lunch to…
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-…
Rainbow Salad with Crispy Lentils and Green Tahini

This vibrant salad full of crunchy, creamy, sweet, savoury and spicy goodness will keep you coming back for more! The crispy,…
Tempeh Shawarma Salad
Confession: one of my favourite takeout meals is shawarma. So many veggies, tangy pink pickles (seriously, what are those?!), all dripping with the garlicky-est tahini sauce. What more do you need? I decided to try a healthified vegan version that I could feel great about including regularly. Feel free to eat this recipe as a…
