Recipes
There are a few things over the years that I have yearned to make at home rather than buy at the store because they are so simple to make and often healthier.
A clafoutis (pronounced cla-fou-tee) is a baked French fruity dessert that sounds way more intimidating than it actually is
If you've never made marinara sauce before, I'm here to tell you, You Can Do It! And, it will taste more vibrant and robust than the sauce you buy at the grocery store.
This spinach and artichoke dip is 100% vegan and nutrient-dense. It's loaded with healthy fats from the cashews, fiber from the artichokes and vitamins/minerals from the veggies. It's creamy, with a sharp and salty flavor. Eating it definitely puts a smile on my face - and these days, I think we could all use some more of that.
I am a fan of any vessel that I can use for a dip. I also love making traditional recipes a touch healthier. Enter gluten-free, zucchini and yam fritters!
This granola recipe is simple and easy to build into a quick morning routine. My favorite ways to eat this are with plain yogurt and fresh raspberries or with homemade cashew milk and bananas. But the ways are endless. It would be pretty divine on ice cream with bananas foster...just sayin.
Sophie from Wholehearted Eats has created a comforting, seasonal breakfast full of warmth, nourishment and a hint of sweetness just for us. These Nordic Oats are spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, made creamy with delicious cashew milk, and sweetened with raisins and a delectable, nutty caramel.
Right around mid-September and until late November, when Christmas starts coming into mind, soup becomes my favourite food. Especially homemade soup; thick and rich, full of flavourful spices, lots of roasted veggies and super creamy.
Starting the morning with a coffee is an important ritual for so many of us (some may say a necessity!) Sophie from Wholehearted Eats has shared her recipe for an autumn spiced superfood coffee.
