Read moreEasy Baba Ganoush (slightly sweet and a hint of smokey)
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 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. But you know what’s not so festive? Crushing a bunch of refined sugar and foods you might be sensitive to, and feeling like garbage all season long...
Read moreWarming Turkey Chili
The weather’s getting colder and you may start to see fewer and fewer salads in my Instagram stories, and more and more soups, stews, curries, tagines, and…you guessed it…chili! Yep, I’m all about the warming one-pot wonders at this time of year and chili is on heavy rotation in the Whole Happy kitchen…
Read moreDark Chocolate Cherry Almond Oat Cookies (gluten-free)
Can I get an “amen” for hearty, chewy, and densely delightful cookies? While I have a wide assortment of cookie recipes here, and of course never say no to variety, I very regularly opt for a biscuit that feels more like a meal than a delicate nibble. I find them so satisfying AND they really do make fantastic prep foods for grab-and-go treats…
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 moreSpiced Apple Galette (gluten-free)
I’ve always been a pie girl. To me there’s nothing quite like the combo of warm baked fruit and a light and crumbly crust for those comfy cozy fall-time feels. But for many, this classic comfort dessert seems a bit too daunting with all the steps. Well my friends, may I introduce to you the galette…
Read moreLemon Lavender Shortbread (gluten-free, refined sugar-free)
Lavender is one of my favourite things on earth. It’s one of my favourite smells, one of my favourite flavours, even one of my favourite colours! It reminds me of the times I’ve spent in France, and in the summer, tending to the lavender bushes in my yard sends me into utter bliss. But it’s not just a sensory delight for me - lavender is one of the most powerful and diverse herbal healers...
