Genius ratatouille rice cakes

Although these little savory cakes were born from leftover rice and ratatouille, they are absolutely genius.

Lovely beet chips

I should probably start the year with some vitamin-packed juice or a gut-cleansing recipe but I’m too busy experimenting with my new kitchen toy: a mandolin. It slices and juliennes vegetables beautifully and I can already think of dozens of recipes it can bring to the next level. But first, let me start with a […]

Lazy morning blueberry muffins

I try not to over indulge in sweets for breakfast, but every now and then I love a good blueberry muffin. These grain-free ones are really delicious and nutritious thanks to the ground almonds and antioxydant-rich wild blueberries. They just take 30 minutes to make from beginning to end, so are completely do-able first thing […]

Pretty amazing Chai-flavored granola

I love granola – but the problem with most of the store-bought variety is all the preservatives, unnecessary refined sugar and unhealthy vegetable oils like palm, rapeseed and canola. The good news is that it’s a snap to make at home and you can easily change up the ingredients depending on what you’ve got on […]

My secret crêpe recipe (gluten free)

Crêpes are a thing at our house. Not sure how this family tradition started but I’ve been making these large thin French pancakes for the kiddos almost every morning for the past 6 years…yep, I could probably rival the crêpe street vendors in Paris at this point. You can omit the orange blossom water and […]

Chocolate “orangette” chia pudding

The only time I ever have chia pudding is for breakfast – howerver, this recipe’s chocolate orange combination kick it up a notch and elevate it to the adult dessert category. It’s not just a pretty dairy, sugar, gluten and egg-free end to a meal, it is also incredibly easy and quick to prepare. Ingredients […]

OMG-they-rock toffee granola bars

I used to be addicted to crunchy industrial-style granola bars before I went sugar free, became concerned with my gut and obsessed with wellness. Since, I’ve tried my hand at making “clean” ones at home, but they’ve always tasted too healthy for the kids to like them – if that makes sense. Finally, my quest […]

Easy sushi burritos

I have to admit, I had never tried making sushi, let alone easy sushi burritos at home because the whole rolling thing intimidates me. But when I saw a recipe for them (rolled without a mat) on Goop.com recently, I figured I would give it a go. It’s a very laisser-faire kind of recipe, you […]

Cashew cheese avocado canapes

I discovered the avocado-cashew cheese combination when post-workout brunching with a lovely friend in Abu Dhabi. Despite my good manners, I was just eating one after another and couldn’t stop. This is my attempt at recreating it. Cashew cheese is something a lot of vegans use to replace the real thing because it contains nutritional yeast, […]

Almond, coconut, tahini & dark chocolate granola

I don’t buy granola at the store because most of the time, it’s packed with sugar and other stuff that’s gonna slow down my digestive system. However, I’m all for homemade! This recipe is great because it is filled with fiber from different sources as well as a good source of omega 3s thanks to […]
