Thai Coconut Green Lentil Soup
One of my focuses this fall is to eat more plant-based foods! Every podcast and interview I listen to lately, is screaming to me about the benefits of increasing my fiber, in order to benefit my gut health. Good gut health impacts so much of our well-being from mental health to skin and so […]
Pumpkin Spice Loaf
This Pumpkin Spice Loaf is amazing! It’s probably the most moist loaf I have tasted! The combination of the almond flour and oat flour creates a slight nutty taste and texture which is surprisingly delish. As in most muffin or loaf recipes, combine the wet ingredients together and the dry ingredients together in separate bowls. […]
Cranberry Walnut Pumpkin Muffins

Chicken, Bacon, Walnut and Apple Transition Salad
What in the name of heaven is a transition salad?? I made it up! As we transition from summer into fall, many of us start to crave the flavors that this new season brings.

Cucumber Mojito Refresher
Summertime is here and so is this crisp and fresh Cucumber Mojito Refresher. So often summer can be filled with calorie-laden alcoholic drinks, but to me, this is just as good!

All of the flavors in this slaw just went together so well! One of my go-to dinner meals in the heat is definitely throwing some protein on the BBQ, and pairing it with a hearty salad like this one. This salad is chock full of immune building micronutrients, plus the sweetness of the mango makes […]
Mango Margarita Salad
This summery salad is light, crisp and refreshing. The combination of sweet, delicious mangos, cilantro and mint, tossed with fresh squeezed lime juice and soya sauce, together creates a wonderful summer salad that resembles the much loved Margarita! And we all know how we love a good margarita at some point during our summer holidays, […]
Summer Strawberry Protein Balls
Mama popped by yesterday with 10 pounds of fresh picked strawberries for me, and I will tell you that they are nothing like the ones you buy in a clamshell from Costco! These are so sweet, and fragile, and always remind me that it is summertime! I froze a bunch of them because they honestly […]
Chocolate Mocha Chia Parfait with Raspberries
Let me tell you two foods that I am absolutely jazzed about these days because of their ability to greatly increase your health quotient: broccoli sprouts and chia seeds! Obviously two items that have been around for a long time, and in fact, the chia seed tracks all the way back to the Aztec Empire […]

I love that you can find healthy and flavorful food in any cuisine. I found this recipe and had to try it out, because I am a total Indian cuisine fan! The ingredients are simple: chicken, spices and Greek yogurt, served with cauliflower rice, you get all the taste of India without a lot of […]
