DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SURPRISE COOKIES are really, really good.  Like crazy good.  I mean, who doesn't love warm-from-the-oven homemade cookies with a little melty chocolate action?1?

GOLDEN MILK PALEO PORRIDGE (grain-free nut, seed & turmeric porridge)

I just love this turmeric-boosted "golden milk" porridge.  It is free of dairy, grains and refined sugar (and paleo, keto and Whole30 friendly!), but packed with vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, fibre, protein, and healthy fats.  Here I used coconut flour and a combination of Brazil nuts and pecans for the base of the porridge, but you could use whatever nuts or seeds you prefer.

SMASHED CHICKPEA & AVOCADO SALAD

Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad is a great plant-based alternative to egg or tuna salad. It can be served on toast, sandwiches, crackers, tacos, salad, loaded sweet potatoes or even nachos!

This recipe gets a wonderful creaminess from avocado (in lieu of mayonnaise), along with loads of flavour from the addition of fresh herbs. It was a huge hit with my meat-loving boys as well as my vegan taste-testers! Better still, it’s super quick and easy to make and absolutely packed with fiber, healthy fats and protein!

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL HAYSTACKS

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL HAYSTACKS

No-bake chocolate oatmeal “haystacks” were the first cookies I ever made growing up.  Here I have put a healthy spin on the sugar-laden recipe of my youth.  

Now don’t get me wrong — there’s nothing wrong with indulging in some good old fashioned (or shall we say “un-healthified”) comfort food from time-to-time.  But I also love remaking recipes so that they are both nutritious AND delicious.  When we put some thought and consideration into our ingredients, we can create tasty treats with actual health benefits.  And who doesn’t want to give their family cookies — maybe even for brekkie — and feel good about it?!?

GOLDEN PALEO BIRCHER MUESLI

Bircher muesli was first developed circa 1900 by a Swiss doctor and nutritionist, Maximilian Bircher-Brenner.  It is still a popular breakfast in Switzerland, where I first encountered it.  His original recipe used lots of fruit and a small amount of rolled oats.  Here I have made a grain-free version that is paleo and keto-friendly, not to mention delicious!

HOMEMADE PALEO MUESLI (dry mix)

HOMEMADE PALEO MUESLI (dry mix)

This is a delicious, grain-free, paleo & keto version of muesli.

Muesli differs from granola in that it is a mixture of raw cereals (most often oats), dried fruit, seeds and nuts, whereas granola is baked.  Muesli is typically soaked with dairy or nondairy milk, yogurt, or fruit juice before eating to make it easier to chew and digest. It's super easy to throw a big batch together as part of meal prep and then have on-hand for a couple weeks.
