Must-try “Magical” Matcha Latte Recipe (+ the secret ingredient to make any drink creamy & frothy without milk)

Dairy-Free Matcha Latte 3

Looking for a dairy-free matcha latte recipe to replace your morning coffee? You’re in the right place! I’m an unabashed one-a-day coffee drinker and have been, off and on, for over 15 years. You too? I’ve always taken it with a little sweetener and most importantly, a liberal pour of cream. In addition to the aroma, […]

Apple Pie of My Eye Smoothie Bowl (gluten-free, grain-free, vegan)

Spring has had a rather faulty start so far around here (with more “spring” snow and snowstorms than I can even remember), so I haven’t had my go-to breakfast, smoothies, on the brain much. But the warm-ish temperatures announced for this weekend can only mean two things: garden work (hooray!) and the return of the […]

Try Teff (+a recipe for gluten-free Blueberry-Lemon Teff Porridge)

This week I’m introducing you to teff, a gluten-free wonder grain. According to the Whole Grains Council, teff is the “only fully-domesticated member of the genus Eragrostis (lovegrass)” [1]. Lovegrass?! I love the sound of that! Teff is a teeny tiny nutritional powerhouse. Considered the world’s smallest grain at about the same size or smaller […]

No AC? No Prob! 5 Favourite Local Summer Foods to Help You Beat the Heat

So guys, I’m feeling pretty hot and bothered lately. Don’t worry, it’s only because of the hot summer weather that seems to have settled in. Maybe I’m just getting cranky because I don’t have AC at home or at work; luckily, I do have windows! I don’t know about you but temperatures in the mid-20s […]

Creamy Kale, Hemp & Walnut Salad (dairy-free, vegan)

It’s probably hard to believe that salad could ever be considered a “comfort food” of any kind, but this is exactly the kind of food I make when I’m craving healthy + comfort food. It makes a fantastic summer picnic food because unlike with traditional dairy, this cream-based salad won’t go off in the hot […]

Late Summer Peach & Almond Porridge (gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, vegan)

Hey guys, it’s been 37 days since I last posted a breakfast recipe and since you know how much I adore breakfast, I figured it was high time for another! This is a sweet easy late summer breakfast porridge, it’s mostly raw (if you use raw almonds), and there’s no cooking involved. It also consists […]
