Tabouleh is such a nutritious versatile dish. It’s great as a side, a perfect addition to salad, and a super star on it’s own. Traditionally, tabouleh is made with cracked wheat. This version uses quinoa instead, making it gluten-free and high in protein.

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Easter Eggs
Everyone knows that you need to have chocolate at Easter (if there were no Lindt bunnies, did Easter really happen?). Nevertheless, I think these gluten free carrot cake Easter eggs are a must as well! I mean, carrot cake just seems like such a natural choice in an Easter menu.
Coconut Flour Double Chocolate Muffins
I love baking with coconut flour. Coconut flour is loaded with fibre and heart-healthy fat. Plus, it’s gluten-free, nut-free, and grain-free, so pretty much everyone can enjoy it!
Easy Homemade Baked Falafels
Falafels and I haven’t always been friends. Even when I was a vegetarian, I couldn’t get into falafels. Every one I tried was often too dry or tasted like cardboard. Sadly, it was looking a lot like the falafel train was going to leave without me. I wanted to like falafels, I really did. They’re…
Brown Rice Onigiri
One of my best and long-time friends is Japanese. When we were little, we’d often share parts of our lunches (doesn’t every grade school kid?). Sometimes, her mom would pack her onigiri, which are seaweed-wrapped balls or triangles of white rice filled with meat or vegetables. I always got so excited when she offered me…
Chickpea Sweet Potato Curry
Being sick could not have come at a better time. I had been feeling under the weather all last week, but as soon as my school break started, my body gave up and decided not to work anymore. My voice is pretty much non-existant. Better now then when my courses were running, right?
Super Simple Garlic Hummus
I believe that a successful study session (or work session or any time of the day for that matter) always involves snacks. And the best snacks are the ones that are just as healthy as they are delicious! Cue this super simple garlic hummus.
Easy Peasy Chia Pudding
It’s been two weeks since I’ve been back at school, and I’m starting to settle back into the routine of eat, sleep, read textbooks, repeat. Part of that routine though definitely includes enjoying a big jar of easy peasy chia pudding; sometimes in class, sometimes on the bus. I always get odd looks when I bring out the chia pudding jar, but hey — this girl knows the importance of a nutritious breakfast.
Creamy Parsnip Soup
Things that aren’t so great about winter: the cold. Things that can easily remedy that: cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and hot soup. Hot, creamy parsnip soup. This soup is so very luscious. Dried thyme and bay leaves, along with sautéed garlic and onion make this soup extra flavourful.

2017. Welcome! I absolutely love the beginning of the year. It’s always filled with such hopes and dreams and goals for the year ahead. Right now, anything and everything is possible.
