Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Love ‘em or hate ‘em? Brussels sprouts are a source of debate at our house. I’m team Brussels sprouts now but I’ll admit I wasn’t in love with them until I ate - hands down - the best Brussels sprouts salad at a wedding in Hawaii. I haven’t looked back and neither will you. Want tips for the best roasted Brussels sprouts this Thanksgiving? Choose smaller sprouts for a sweeter taste and peel off outer layers for charred and crispy pieces.

Smoked Red Lentil Hummus
Red lentils are one of those good, no great foods, rich in protein and fibre, among other nutrients. It was one of the foods I rediscovered during my Ten Day Fibre Challenge back in July. Now it’s a food that I eat regularly. Move over chickpea hummus. Smoked red lentil hummus is quick, easy to make, and delicious! Blend it all together in a food processor and add more water if you want a thinner consistency. You can enjoy it with cut vegetables, crackers, wraps, sandwiches o


Creamy Tomato Risotto
It’s tomato season! Got a spare afternoon and an extra tomato from the garden? Yeah, I don’t either. I do, however, have thirty minutes, a can of tomato paste and the other risotto ingredients. Risotto is a creamy Italian dish. Sure, you'll stand at the stove and stir (a lot), but it's worth every single stir! It was the first meal I learned how to make as an adult. And the truth is I still love it countless bowls later! Here are my top three tips for successful risotto: -Don

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas pack a powerful nutrition punch. Okay, I’ll bite. How so? One cup of chickpeas offers almost fifteen grams of protein and thirteen grams of fibre. Trust me, that’s good.

Try the following practical tips I found from fellow bloggers: #1 Pat the chickpeas dry. As dry as possible. Don’t rush this step. #2 Remove loose chickpea skins.

Cardamom Chia Seed Pudding
Want your recipes to pop with flavour? Add a HINT of cardamom. Want your guests to make funny faces? Add a LOT of cardamom! Cardamom is a bold spice. That’s one thing we can agree on. One thing we can’t agree on is how to describe cardamom. Fellow foodies define it as a strong aromatic spice with hints of citrus, mint, wood or smoke. To me, ground cardamom is sweet and floral which is why it blends so well with desserts. Also, let’s not forget about chia seeds. But what abou


Bircher Muesli
The original bircher muesli recipe is one hundred and twenty years old. It’s true! It was created by a Swiss doctor named Maximilian Bircher-Benner as part of his patients’ therapy. Today, bircher muesli is a creamy oat based breakfast mixed with shredded apples, Greek yogurt, milk and lemon juice. The remaining ingredients are up to you! It’s common to add nuts, seeds, coconut, dried fruit and spices like cinnamon. Plant-based choices like vanilla coconut yogurt and oat milk


Zucchini Fritters
Are you excited for the holidays? Tis the season to spend time with loved ones and eat a lot of food. Families that cook together probably also drink together - or is that stay together? Another thing you can do together is make zucchini fritters. I mean, obviously. I suggest you leave the peel on the zucchini for some extra fibre and also because: PRETTY! I mean, green is Christmassy right? The usual nutrition facts that some people read and others skip over: One medium zuc

Winter Chocolate Bark
Want to impress over the holidays? Want to do it with minimal effort? Yeah, that’s right. I said it. Let’s be lazy and still impress! (Insert wink here). If you have 15 minutes to slowly heat and cool chocolate (plus add the fixings), and another 60 to let it set in the fridge, you’ve just made chocolate bark! You go girl! I mean, well, after you’ve actually made it. But you go girl! Traditional fixings are nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, but feel free to get creative. The be

Mini Berry Cheesecake
Did you know that cheesecake was served to athletes at the first Olympic Games in ancient Greece? Now that’s worth all the training. Right? Yet, New York style cheesecake wasn’t created in the early 1900s after New Yorker William Lawrence developed cream cheese. Fast forward to the present and cheesecake still stands the test of time. It’s one of those classic desserts that draws “oohs” and “aahs” from everyone at the dinner table. It’s the dessert you eat a little less dinn


Brazilian Cheese Buns
I’m stumped as to what to write about these stoopid Brazilian cheese buns. Pao de Queijo, commonly known as Brazilian cheese buns, originates from Minas Gerais, a neighbouring state of Rio de Janeiro. Today its popularity rivals potato chips or donuts in North America and are now sold by fast food chains, coffee shops and street vendors. One bite and it’s easy to see why its popularity has soared: the crunchy crust on the outside and the chewy cheesiness on the inside. In te
