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!

Like many of us out there, during the shorter and darker fall, winter, and early spring days, I often find myself unexcited (to say the least)  to tackle my daily to-do list. Until that summer sun comes out of hiding, it is the thought of enjoying a warm cup of coffee that generally motivates me to crawl out from under my cozy covers in the morning. While my deep love of the comforting beverage has made me suspicious that I am just a little prejudice, the science is in, and I couldn’t be happier.

This crafty recipe utilized a bounty of fresh herbs and spices to really make the flavour pop. Herbs and spices are great because, in addition to adding extra antioxidants and beneficial nutrients to dishes, they make recipes easily tailorable to your tastes. And with the herb and spice variations to try, the possibilities with this recipe are endless!

Those looking for a super quick & easy, nutritious (but oh so delicious) sweet snack, listen up!! These amazing no-bake oat fudge bars are here to meet your needs… because who doesn’t love a nutrient packed fudge bar dessert option. Complete with quality protein, an ample amount of healthy fat, as well as fibre-rich complex carbs, these bars provide a nutritious and satisfying sweet snack option to add to your intake.

In creating this recipe, I utilized the famously delicious peanut butter and banana combo; but I thought I'd kick things up a notch with the addition of banana chips and whole peanuts. What resulted is a deliciously sweet and crunchy cereal mix, that makes for a convenient nutrient boost to be enjoyed at anytime of day. In addition to the classic peanut butter banana flavour, I chose to increase the fibre, flavour, and interesting texture of this granola with the addition of diced figs.

Loaded with protein and containing a healthy dose of vegetable fibre, this hearty breakfast option will keep your appetite satisfied throughout the morning. And by omitting the butter and flour crust of traditional quiches, these bites are pretty low cal too!

Ginger is probably best well known for its tummy taming properties. This root has a long tradition of being very effective in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. Additionally, ginger provides immune boosting properties and powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory effects that will help keep you going strong this flu season. As far as flavour, ginger adds a special zest to this oatmeal cookie recipe, to help it stand out from the pack.

With festive gatherings quickly filling up our agendas, it’s about time that I share a recipe for a nourishing bite size party appetizer. Whether it’s a casual holiday potluck with close friends, or a more formal gathering where you’re looking to contribute to the buffet table, this versatile finger food is sure to be a welcome addition.
