For those busy weeks when eating healthy can feel like a chore, this big green salad recipe is perfect for making a large batch and storing in the fridge. Both the salad and the dressing maintain their texture and flavour throughout the week. Switch up the protein additions, and top with tortilla chips when you need some carbs. I’m obsessed with this dressing and have made a few different variations of it.
Read MoreI don’t know about you but cranberry sauce has never had much appeal to me…before now. As per usual adding a little spice adds a nice layer of complexity to almost any dish. Go ahead and toss out that can of cranberry sauce that’s been in your pantry for 10 years, you will never use canned again! I used this sauce for my Chipotle Berry Pork Loin and the addition of apples to the cranberry sauce really complimented the pork dish.
Read MoreOk these pecans are truly to die for, my Mom has been making them for Christmas for the last few years and I cannot get enough. This year I decided to spice them up a bit further by adding some Pueblo Coffee & Cacao hot sauce into the recipes. Add these to salads, rice dishes, or just snack on them…believe me, you won’t be able to stop.
Read MoreThere’s nothing like a warm curry dish on a cold winter’s day. I especially love using salmon as a healthy protein, the flakey texture pairs perfectly with the fluffy rice and creamy coconut flavoured curry sauce. Topping the dish with crushed peanuts and green onions adds some crunchy and fresh contrast to the dish.
Read MoreA little taste of the SaskTel Instagram Live Online Cooking Class recipe I debuted this past summer. This cheesy, citrusy, and juicy recipe has quickly become one of my favourite summer classics. The peaches and feta mixed into burger keep it moist and bursting with flavour. Pair that patty with creamy brie and balsamic peaches your mouth won’t know what hit it. Pictues by @nomadicstories.
Read MoreSummer in a bowl, this fresh and fruity salad is filling and energizing. Heat up the grill instead of the house with barbecued chicken breast. Paired with creamy goat cheese, this salad has everything your body needs and your mouth wants.
Read MoreDecadent, moist, and packed with chocolate - you won’t be disappointed with these relatively healthy zucchini cookies. Get creative with your garden veggies and add some chocolate to them!

Read MoreA quick and easy summer salad so you can take advantage of those beautiful sunny evenings - without heating up the house - no cooking required! The chickpea base offers up long lasting protein if you’re opting for meat replacements. Packed with veggies - this salad delivers maximum nutrient efficiency.
Read MoreWhen that warm weather hits - I want quick, easy, and fresh tasting salads that will keep me fuelled for whatever summer activity I’m doing. This salad truly has it all - quinoa to keep you full, optional salmon if you need a bit more meat protein in your diet, crunchy fresh veggies, and delicious blueberries with zingy and slightly spicy strawberry dressing - and to top it off sweet and creamy goat cheese!
Read MoreTurkey burgers are a nice alternative to beef, which tends to make me feel really full and a little sluggish. Paired with a low carb keto cheese bun and fresh orange salsa - this meal is the perfect balance of salty and sweet. The orange salsa also makes a great topping for a side of mixed greens.
Read MoreOne of my all-time fave salads! The crunchy cabbage base allows you to prep the salad on the weekend and it will keep all week for lunches. The goat cheese adds some creamy decadence, to a spicy, citrusy, crunchy and seriously satisfying salad.
Read MoreQuick breads are perfect for quarantine baking - they don’t require any yeast or rising time (which is especially helpful if you can’t find any yeast at your grocery store). These puppies are fairly easy to master after a few tries and they make the best addition to a nice bowl of soup or with bacon and eggs for brunch.
Read MoreAnother simple and healthy muffin recipe! For this batch I wanted to create a delicious, moist, and fruity explosion with each bite, by packing them full of raspberries and blueberries. The sweet and zesty lemon sugar on top adds a little bit of sweetness to keep you satisfied all morning long.
Read MoreA classic homemade hummus recipe - easy and versatile - switch up the sides and toppings and you will never be bored of this creamy dip. I paired mine with fresh veggies and pita crackers for a snack, and ate with falafels (from a boxed falafel mix) the next day. It should keep in the fridge for 5—7 days.
Read MorePan Fried Yam is a super tasty twist on pasta or rice. It’s a little bit sweet and crispy when cooked on a cast iron pan, which pairs nicely with a creamy Alfredo sauce. Omit the bacon and you have a meat free dish that is still seriously satisfying (yay butter!).
Read MoreOnce you are a few weeks or maybe months into the keto diet and the thrill of cheese and bacon is starting to wear off (unlikely!), you may find yourself craving some fresh greens. Who would have thought? It turns out there is tasty ways to get your greens, fat, and protein in all at once! I like this added touch of halloumi (grilling cheese) to bring a unique texture to a classic power bowl while adding the perfect fat booster!
Read MoreThis meal is what I would define as a go-to keto recipe. The best part - is the versatility of this dish. Sick of Brussel Sprouts? Sub them out for asparagus and baby tomatoes! Turns out almost any low-carb/sugar veggies pan-fried with bacon and cheese is delicious. Not a fan of brie cheese? Use a cream cheese or shredded cheddar.
Read MoreI loooove fish tacos, but sometimes I like to skip the carbs. Keep it light with these lettuce taco shells and flavourful with a bright beet salsa and creamy guacamole.
Read MoreIf fish isn’t your jam, try out these ground pork lettuce tacos…or ground beef or turkey if you prefer! These babies are easy and tasty no matter what kind of protein you are feeling!
Read MoreGrilling season isn’t over until there is snow on the ground - IMO. But sadly I don’t have a bbq, so it’s a grilling pan for me when making this delicious burger bowl. Experience a twist on a classic - and opt for the veggie packed version of a burger.
