With the holiday season upon us (and Christmas fast approaching!), now is the time I start to think about how I'll create that warm, cozy, homey vibe if guests decide to drop in last minute. Tried-and-true, I find that there is really no better way then getting a simple, fragrant fall eat in the oven. Created with a view to helping you maintain your health goals this season and keep you feeling fantastic, this straight forward fall-inspired recipe will make your house feel like home, and is perfect to celebrate that fall harvest. Let the holiday season party planning begin!

There's no denying it - the season for pumpkins galore is upon us. And let's be honest, sweet pumpkin eats are all about the spices. With this in mind, there's enough of them in this granola recipe to make it taste like a true fall food, perfect for celebrating and enjoying this fun and flavourful season.

This quick to whip up, delicious, gluten & vegan friendly pumpkin pie recipe will be ready in time to the cap-off your festive feast. Easy to assemble and slip in the oven, this dessert will be out of the oven and cooled to room temp in an hour, and ready to set in your fridge while you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal. Family time has never tasted so good.

It's undeniable, Autumn is in the air once more! And with this inspiring turn of seasons generally comes fuller schedules, longer to-do lists, oh and back to school for many. With this in mind, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share a fall-friendly wholesome snack that that make sense for busy families.

Jicama can be eaten raw or cooked, and has been described to taste like a firm Chinese pear - but, as everyone's taste buds are slightly different, you'll have to try it for yourself to find out for sure! The over-arching consensus is that it has a mildly sweet flavor (which I accentuate in this recipe with the use of stevia and a little sugar free syrup). Adding a little salt to this crunch appetizer (or side) only seemed fitting to make these fries ultra satisfying.

As the sun is out in full force for the foreseeable future, it is only natural for our thoughts to turn to eating - and cooking - in the great outdoors. Whether it's a quickly whipped up meal for two, or a more lounge-provoking evening with some good friends, it is always useful to have some simple, nutritious, and delicious dishes in your back pocket. With this goal in mind, I present to you nutrient dense Fava Bean Burgers.

With this tasty, nourishing eat in your back pocket, eating a good source of protein, heart-healthy fat, and fibre at your meals has never been easier. Made with only half a dozen highly accessible ingredients, your whole family will love these sweet and fruity yogurt popsicles. Because we can all use another fun and refreshing way to cool off on a sunny summer afternoon.

As I love to share with our clients, I find sushi to be one of the best meals to enjoy when eating out for several reasons. Highlights well worth mentioning include nutrient packed seaweed, buckwheat, and edamame are common offerings at this type of eatery, and I love that many options are available to adjust your intake to fit your individual intake targets (sashimi or a side of rice anyone?). But prepare sushi at home? Why not!

Strawberry and rhubarb mingle for this true-to-Spring wholesome treat. These fruity bars provide ample nutrition, while not sacrificing on flavour or texture. Because, let's be real, who wants a dry, crumbly, and tasteless snack bar in their life. Enjoy!

With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon, I thought now would be a great time to share my easy and nutrient packed recipe for simplified Huevos Rancheros. Though...I have to admit...Mexican food is my all-time favourite, and I enjoy this particular recipe year round. Disfrutar!
