Granola Bars
Finding a healthy snack isn’t always easy. I have always loved granola bars, but struggle with the fact that many store-bought granola bars overly sweet and full of ingredients that I would rather not have in my food. And it’s so easy to make your own! If you need them to be gluten-free simply ensure that you use…
Peanut Butter & Jam Chia Pudding (vegan & gluten-free)
I’m a sucker for peanut butter and jam, so created this chia pudding to satisfy my inner kid. I LOVE the layers and how satisfying this one is… AND it’s packed with plant-based protein and omega-3 fats! Of course, you can make it all in advance and have it for the week ahead which is…
Asparagus in a Blanket
A good old 80’s appy gets a healthier overhaul with this veggie version using asparagus and filo pastry! You know it’s spring when the lilacs are in bloom and the asparagus hits the market (or your garden if you’re lucky enough to grow your own). I seriously don’t leave the grocery store these days without…
Orange Omega No-Bake Granola Bars (gluten free)

Roasted Plum Yogurt Parfait with Honey Cardamom Granola
Fall is HERE, and with it came buckets of fresh beautiful plums growing in our backyard. Cute cozy sweaters, steaming cups of tea and fall fruit? Sign me up! But truly, the end of summer indulgences coupled with kids going back to school and cooler weather always prompts me to want to hit the reset…
Pastel Smoothie Bowls
Back in university I used to eat the same thing for breakfast EVERY day: a bowl of cereal. Sure, the cereal choice would change a bit, or I would add some fruit to it, but there wasn’t a lot of variety. While I still love a good bowl of cereal, I find that my breakfast,…
Tropical Green Chia Pudding with Coconut Crunch (gluten-free, vegan)
I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the whole chia pudding trend to last as long as it has. However, I think I cast that judgement before I actually TRIED chia pudding! Super healthy, yummy, easy to make and incredibly versatile, it’s no wonder that it’s had such staying power.
