PEACHES & CREAM PANNA COTTA
/
Made with just a few ingredients including gelatin, this nutritious-and-delicious no-bake dessert has a lovely peach flavour and a unique texture reminiscent of panna cotta.
Read MoreMANGO STICKY "RICE"
/
This recipe was inspired by my travels in Southeast Asia. Mango sticky rice has got to be one of my favourite Thai desserts, and I thought it would be fun to make a refined sugar-free, grain-free paleo version.
Read MoreCHOCOLATE 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?!?
Read MoreHOMEMADE PROBIOTIC COCONUT YOGURT
/

Read MorePEAS PLEASE SMOOTHIE
/
Yup, that's right — a green pea smoothie!!
As a kid, I loved to pick the pods from the garden and eat the little sun-warmed gems straight-up!
And green peas pack a nutritional punch, too! They are rich in vitamins & minerals including vitamins K & C as well as disease-fighting antioxidants like coumestrol, which is believed to reduce the risk of stomach cancer. Furthermore, one cup of peas contains approximately 8 grams of fibre and 8 grams of protein.

/
This chocolatey nut-free porridge has been a huge hit with my PB cup-loving chicklets and recipe testers alike. It tastes rich and decadent but happens to be absolutely packed with all the goods — vitamins & minerals, antioxidants, adaptogens, fibre, healthy fats, and protein!
Read MoreAVOCADO EGG SALAD
/
True story... When I was preggers with baby #2, I had the strangest food aversions and cravings. I could NOT stomach sparkling water (shocking for a girl who drinks it daily). And yet I would take any break I had between patients to wolf tomato, lettuce & egg salad sandwiches. And I didn’t think I even LIKED egg salad.
Fast forward more than a decade and I am still not a fan of egg salad. Except for THIS egg salad! The mayonnaise-laden mixtures of my youth have been replaced with a not-so-pretty but much healthier, more satisfying and tastier version using smashed avocado.
Read MorePINK PASSION SMOOTHIE
/
This watermelon and tahini combo may sound kinda strange, but it is incredible. Honestly, don't knock it till you've tried it!

Oh — and it also happens to be absolutely packed with veggies, antioxidants, fibre, protein, healthy fats, and adaptogens, too!

Read MoreSTRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER SMOOTHIE
/
Oh John Lennon, I wish! But I am certainly grateful every time strawberry season arrives!
Strawberries are a blessing for the body and mind as well as the taste buds. They are loaded with fiber and vitamins & minerals including vit C & K, folate, manganese, and potassium. Strawberries are also rich in amazing phytonutrients like anthocyanins that are believed to help burn fat, boost memory, build bone health, reduce inflammation, and stave-off cancer and cardiovascular disease!
Read MoreGOLDEN 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!
Read MoreHOMEMADE 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.

As many of you know, I’ll cook anything I can in my cast-iron skillet and pancakes are no exception! When I make regular pancakes, I inevitably end up doing multiple batches and spending my time flipping while the rest of the family eats.
This is such an easy and delicious alternative that allows us all to sit down together to one giant and delicious pancake! We’ve even been known to eat it right out of the pan!
