What’s my go-to breakfast? If you’d been following me on Instagram you’ll likely have noticed it really varies. Some days it’s a satisfying savoury plate of eggs, veggies, greens, etc. Other days is a sweet treat like grain-free pancakes or waffles piled high with berries and whipped coconut cream. Most days however, it’s a big nutrient dense smoothie or smoothie bowl! The recipe I’m sharing here is my usual go-to (although I have other ideas + recipes below)…

There’s no question when it comes to squash soups, butternut reigns supreme. It’s creamy and subtle, and therefore lends well to the common flavour coupling of ginger, curry powder, etc. But is it the best option? Of course I can’t say what your palate prefers, but I may be so bold as to suggest a new winner in my person squash soup rotation – kabocha…

Spaghetti + meatsauce - this tried-and-true classically comforting, and crowd-pleasing go-to may already be in your roster of weeknight staples.

Read moreMatcha Moringa Fat Bomb Freezer Fudge
Fat bomb, freezer fudge, decadent nibbles of dangerously delicious delights…they go by many names, but no matter what you call them, they’re darn tasty! Not to mention the fact that the healthy fats keep you satisfied and energized for luxuriously long periods of time making them an ideal daytime dessert or simply just an between-meals pop-in-your-mouth pleasure. Personally I love these little guys about 1-hour to 30 minutes before a workout when it’s been a while since I had my last meal…
Read moreLemon Thyme Arugula Salad with Grilled Asparagus, Avocado, and Kalamata Olives
Simple yet satisfying and seemingly impressive salads are your secret weapon for a successful dinner party (or quiet night at home…that’s cool too). Now the key to a knock-out salad is the dressing, but I’m also a believer in not spending your entire day fiddling over a vinaigrette. This lovely little side dish is elevated by the effortlessly classic combination of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. That’s it! Don’t overthink it, don’t overdue it, let the deliciously nutrient-dense ingredients speak for themselves and you’re all set…

Creamy, savoury, satisfying, and always a big hit at parties, this middle eastern dish is a great addition to your crudités boards, snack-game, on sandwiches, in Whole Bowls, or simply on its own!

Read moreHerb & Mushroom Turkey Meatloaf (grain-free)
I’m a sucker for comfort foods in the fall, especially when those comfort foods work great for meal prep, and a protein-packed meatloaf definitely checks off both those boxes! Now I know you might be thinking, “meatloaf?! Dry…bland…lame…old-fashioned…” but I promise you the following recipe is anything but dry, bland, or lame…
