This cauliflower Brussels sprouts salad is made for autumn!  It's the perfect combination of fall flavours: roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, with sweet tart cranberries and toasty pumpkin seeds.  Brussels sprouts are one of our favourite vegetables because of their delicious flavour once roasted and caramelized, but also because of their health benefits!   Here's another one of our fall recipes with Brussels sprouts . Brussels sprouts are a good source of vitamin K a

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

The seasons are a changing!  While we're caught between the sunny end of summer days and the chilly mornings of September and approaching autumn,  squash and root veggies are moving onto our plates.  Incorporating root veggies is one of the ways you can support your body in the transition between seasons.  While root veggies are nutritious and rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, they also have a grounding quality to them.  Think of root veggies growing in the earth and then

written by Megan Horsley If you're eagerly soaking up the last of the summer rays, these grilled shrimp tacos will help you hang on to those sunshine vibes! Accompanied by a summery peach salsa filled with bright citrus and fruity notes, let these tacos quench your thirst for more of the sunny season. Peach Salsa 1 peach, peeled and diced Corn from 1 cob, cooked 1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped Juice of 1 lime 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 small clove of garlic, minced 1 pint heirloom cherry to

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

With summer almost here, we've been shifting the type of food we're eating to lighter, fresher dishes.  It's what our clients have been craving on their weekly menus too, so we're creating more salads filled with crispy, raw veggies, fresh herbs, and flavorful dressings. Inspired by the traditional Greek salad, we've taken cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion and dill and paired them with gluten free pasta and a creamy tahini lemon dressing. Tahini is such a great w

Cauliflower is so versatile and these days is used in a variety of recipes from a rice alternative to grain free pizza crust.  While we love all these creative ways to use cauliflower, sometimes we just love a classic roasted cauliflower recipe where this health boosting vegetable can really shine.  You’ll love the fresh parsley and cilantro paired with garlic, toasted pinenuts and lemon juice. Cauliflower is a very good source of the vitamin choline , providing 11% of the da

It's spring! And, we're really feeling the pull to eat more fresh veggies and lighter salads.  This easy to make salad is full of bright spring colours and just a tiny bit sweet (thanks to some fresh strawberries and grapefruit).  This is an easy one to whip up when you don't have much time to cook.  Jicama is a low glycemic starchy vegetable that is extremely low in carbohydrates, so it's a great option if you're following a keto style diet or just interested in eating low c

If you can't eat dairy or gluten, you are going to absolutely love this recipe because it's incredibly satisfying thanks to the creaminess of hemp seeds and and cheesy taste from nutritional yeast.  Sundried tomatoes round out everything in this dish with the perfect amount of saltiness.  We love using pasta that's made from legumes instead of grains, such as lentils, because it's a wonderful source of protein and fiber. If you're not eating legumes, you could actually make

With spring in the air we've been excited to eat more raw veggie based salads, since during the winter we tend to crave cooked, warming veggies instead. This soba noodle salad is the perfect combo of fresh, crisp veggies with tender soba noodles.  You can always swap in other vegetables if you don't have the exact ones listed below.  Feel free to use regular orange carrots or the more common pink radishes if you can't find the watermelon variety. And, if you don't like cilant

This year, instead of making something sugary, we decided to make a savory galette for Valentine's Day.  Galettes are one of those types of recipes that every time we make one we feel like we made something really special and unique (all the while, it's really easy to put one together).  This recipe turns out perfectly with grain free almond flour and tapioca flour, with the perfect balance in texture, a little bit soft and then slightly crisp on the edges. Asparagus are a g

Shakshuka is such a warming, comforting and filling recipe for breakfast, that also works as a cozy dinner option.  Simmered tomatoes with spices is the perfect complement to gently cooked eggs, especially when you mix in some tart yogurt.  We've used dairy-free coconut yogurt in this recipe, but you can use any type of yogurt that you like.  In this version of shakshuka we chose to add in turnip and zucchini for an extra serving of veggies, reminiscent of a tagine.  You coul
