There’s something magical about strawberry season. This sacred time and space as we transition from spring into summer, as the days reach their longest, the sun shines its brightest, and the air feels sweeter and life somehow feels simpler…
Read moreSpiced Kabocha Squash Soup
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…

Read moreSticky Toffee Muffins (grain-free, dairy-free option)
With holiday gatherings and seasonally inspired dinners in full swing, and Christmas just around the corner, my mind is unavoidably drawn to warming images of festive feasts and friends gathered around heaps of sweets, treats, and nostalgic nibbles.

Read moreLeftover Turkey Pie with both Gluten-Free + Grain-Free Crust Options
As you guys know I’m a sucker for leftovers. Well more accurately I’m a sucker for not throwing perfectly edible things in the trash, having nourishing dishes ready to go, and using up as much of the plant or animal as possible for maximum nutrient density and minimal waste. Because of this the week following Thanksgiving is basically my dreamland play time. I take that whole roasted delicious bird and concoct as many fun and creative ways I can to use up every last inch of turkey, as well as the thanksgiving east leftover and any other scraps that were accumulated in the aftermath. Pulled turkey tacos and chili, bone broth and other soup for days, and of course this little crowd pleaser…
Read moreHerb & Mushroom Turkey Meatloaf (grain-free)

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…
Read moreGrain-free Tortillas
While nothing beats a traditional stone-ground corn tortilla for fajitas and tacos, I and so many others out there, just don't do so well with grains, and this particular type of cereal in general. We often joke about seeing corn in the poop, but really it's no laughing matter. When we see undigested food in our stool, it's generally a sign that our body doesn't love that particular ingredient, and is having a hard time breaking it down as a result. This puts a massive strain on our entire digestive function, potentially increasing systemic inflammation and minimizing proper absorption and assimilation of other foods we eat and the important nutrients within…
Read moreRaspberry Red Velvet Power Pudding
Valentine’s Day. An oft-deemed “Hallmark holiday” that for many, inflicts feelings of anxiety, profound loneliness, or simply a sense of nausea coupled with give-me-a-break’s and an eye-roll or two. Yes, I understand that the historical significance of Valentine’s Day has been lost on most, or that the socially constructed pressure of one little day in February seems ridiculous, but what if we shifted our paradigm? What if we see February 14th as an invitation to honour and celebrate LOVE...
