Let your childhood dreams blend with your responsible side with these healthy cookies that you can eat for breakfast. These are truly the definition of healthy cookies. Mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, walnuts—these add up to provide tons of nutrients and protein. Need more convincing? They’re paleo and flourless, are super easy to…

Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a great snack because they’re high in protein, gluten-free and vegan. As a bonus, this recipe is really low maintenance so you can catch up on some reading, cleaning, binge-watching Netflix, whatever. I originally got this recipe from Oh She Glows but I changed a couple of things. I thought that since…
Garlic Parmeson Wonton Crackers
Store-bought crackers are way too salty a lot of the time, and I find they end up over-powering the dips I eat them with. The few times I have tried making homemade crackers right from scratch, they’ve always needed tweeking and the texture wasn’t perfect. Wonton crackers are the perfect balance between the two. You…
Vegan Medjool Date, Almond and Coconut Health Bars
Medjool dates are my new experimental ingredient to work with. They’re great for binding ingredients, high in natural sugars so no additional ones are needed, and taste like a dessert. My initial attempt was to make Homemade Clif Bars but that didn’t quite work out as planned—I think I should have added in a couple…
Vegan Leek, Pumpkin and Spinach Chowder
Most chowders are made using dairy and seafood, but this one is more of a cross between soup and stew using a ton of veggies and spices. To thicken it up, instead of adding whipping cream, I used an immersion blender to mix some of the vegetables into the broth. I know it’s a little…
Sriracha Baked Eggs in Muffin Tins
Baked eggs are a lazy chef’s dream. Seriously low-maintenance, minimal prep time, and easy to re-heat as leftovers. The scrambled egg cups are really simple and puff up, resulting in a soufflé-looking dish. The salami cups are still very easy, but the egg does pour a little bit past the “deli” slice, so just be…
Easy Vegetable Frittata with Shredded Tofu
I have never had a successful time with cast iron skillets and eggs. No matter how much oil or butter I put down, the eggs still always stuck and fell apart. This time, I found the perfect method. The trick is to heat the pan in advance so that it’s really hot before you coat…
Chickpea, Sesame and Sweet Potato Patties
It’s rare that you’ll find a vegan, gluten-free and easy baked patty that satisfies the appetite of non-veggies and veggies alike. It’s perfect for bringing to get-togethers because you can make the mix in advance, and people who aren’t as open-minded about food will be willing to try it because it’s ingredients are all recognizable….
Vegan Chorizo Sausage Chili with Black Beans
This super-easy chili is packed with protein and vitamins, and doesn’t sacrifice flavour. You can eat it on its own or scoop it up in tortilla chips; either way, you’re going to love it. Imitation meat can be pretty hit and miss. I’ve actually never been a huge fan of Tofurky-brand products but I found…
Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal
One of my favourite after-school snacks as a kid was banana smothered in peanut butter. To this day that flavour combo is one of my favourites: in sandwiches, smoothies, and now, oatmeal. I got this recipe from Pastry Affair and I’m very pleased! There’s some very yummy-looking photos to go along with her recipe so…
