Sugar-Free Pink & White Coconut Ice Old cravings die hard. While we strive for the elusive thing called ‘health’, our awareness grows, our food choices change, and we let things we previously enjoyed go, sometimes with sticky-outie bottom lips. My making a batch of Sugar-Free Pink & White Coconut Ice was in response to my [...]
Sugar-Free Jelly Treats (for the Kids, and Grown-Ups, Too) I played with agar agar! Sure, I understood in theory that it was an ingredient with health benefits with which to make jelly, but until I had made these sugar-free jelly treats (for the kids, and grown-ups, too), I found it a bit of a tangle [...]
They’re the kind of food I’ve always thought tastes better when bought. Which is difficult for me, because I’m totally nuts and seem to want to make everything myself and from scratch. It was a pleasant surprise trying these gluten-free baked butternut falafels with pea protein (for healthy heart, hair and nails) to find they [...]
When you need calming, but you also need energy (and you’re a little hungry)… Pretty pink caramel protein balls (with maca and CBD oil) to the rescue! Not the regular shaped rescue, to be sure. But an enjoyable escape from the norm, and easy to pop in your mouth when you need a delicious and [...]
Naturally fermented sauerkraut may surprise you, since it is likely easier thank you think. Try your hand at it. Snack on it from the fridge, hide it in smoothies, or serve it with everything.

Fresh Kale Salad with Basil, Fennel & Toasted Seeds Chewing on kale makes you cringe? Oh. Did you give it a massage? A fresh kale salad is linked in our minds to promises of health, but darn it, it’s tough on the teeth! I know there was a time I wondered if what [...]
Truly healthful and totally delicious. Make a batch of easy hazelnut chocolate spread to feed those chocolate cravings with a satisfied smile. Hurrah! You can have your chocolate spread and eat it for breakfast. Because nutrition can sometimes taste like chocolate. Especially - as in the case of this easy hazelnut chocolate spread [...]
This is a gather-all-the-fresh-and-colourful-stuff-together-in-one-bowl kind of dish. Use the ingredients list as inspiration but play around with what's already in your fridge; you’ll shop less, waste less, and create different bowls each time. And pairing the crunch and freshness of the Buddha Bowl with the herby-ness of the Green 'Yoghurt' Sauce boosts not only the [...]

I was pleasantly surprised (but [...]
