This time of year we crave warming, comforting foods and that means lots of roasted veggies in this chermoula harvest bowl! This harvest bowl is our version of a buddha bowl or power bowl that's designed for the colder times of the year.  Instead of a salad with fresh veggies, we use warm roasted root veggies to keep the body warm and nourished. Chermoula is an herb based sauce that's used as a marinade or chutney in North African cooking, such as Moroccan and Tunisian cuisi

This donut recipe is gluten free and refined-sugar free: the best of all worlds in a delicious, sweet, spiced pumpkin donut!  The last time we made a donut recipe was over a year ago and we loved them (they are super cute and pink).   This time around we have donuts that are perfect for the fall season, packed with pumpkin spice to warm you up on a chilly day.

We love the harvest season and Thanksgiving every year!  Many people ask us, how do you make a Thanksgiving meal that's paleo or vegetarian?  It's actually easy to keep a Thanksgiving feast gluten free or grain free, dairy free and free of refined sugars. The Vegetarian Main If you're planning a vegetarian holiday meal then we recommend making a hearty main dish that contains a good source of vegetarian protein, such as beans, legumes, or even tempeh or tofu.  You can be crea

We are cooking with more squash these days, now that summer is over and fall is officially here.  Our fellow nutrionist, Holistic Foodie , compiled together 15 easy and healthy butternut squash recipes from many nutritionists on her blog.  We are thrilled that she asked us to contribute one of our butternut squash recipes to the list (it's our recipe for Squash, Chickpea and Kale Soup ). You'll find recipes for squash based dip,  creamy dairy free sauce with squash, plenty o

written by Megan Horsley Trinidadian doubles, a popular street-food in Trinidad, are small, snack-size fried-bread sandwiches that consist of curried channa (chickpeas), cucumber or mango chutney, tamarind sauce and hot pepper sauce all set between two pieces of bara (fried bread). The soft fried bread combined with the sweet and savoury, yet sour filling offers a really delightful flavour experience.  To lighten up this dish a bit, I have swapped out the fried bread for brow

Juicy peaches in the summer are something that we always look forward to since they're only available for such a short window of time.  This year we decided to combine peaches with locally grown rhubarb to make these delicious, subtly sweet muffins.  Scientists have found that peaches may even contain some anticancer properties, thanks to the antioxidant caffeic acid that's found in peaches.  The tart rhubarb pairs perfectly with sweet peach. Peach Rhubarb Grain Free Paleo M

Most store bought jams and jellies are loaded with sugar, but it's easy to make your own homemade version that is sweetened with a little bit of maple syrup instead.  Or you could even make a sugar free version by leaving out sweetener all together or use a keto friendly sweetener such as monkfruit or xylitol. We love using chia seeds as an alternative to pectin, which you'll commonly see used to create the gelatinous consistency of jam and jelly.  Chia seeds are one of the

We will always love broccoli, whether it's in a stir fry, steamed and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and some quality sea salt, or roasted in the oven.  But this recipe with earthy toasted sesame seeds, the sweet and salty balance of tamari and coconut sugar, rounded out with the bite of rice vinegar makes an epic broccoli dish.  Inspired by the Japanese dish called Gomae, we've replaced some of the traditional ingredients that are sometimes tricky to find. Broccoli ha

Halibut is such a lovely light fish and is perfect for spring and summer themed meals.  The best part? If you're having guests over or want to impress yourself with a nice dinner, this halibut recipe will do the trick.  This one is paleo style since it's grain fee and we've used almond flour to replace the breadcrumbs found in more traditional recipes.  You can also easily modify this recipe and omit the thyme if you're not a fan or swap in a different herb such as basil, par
