Rainbow “noodle” Pad Thai

Ok guys, went into this recipe with minimal expectations and came out with a home run. Flavourful, nutritious, and totally fulfilling...especially from a noodleless, noodle dish, you dig. Now granted you can add and subtract what you like, and maybe this means adding rice noodles...amazing. But as is, we got a winner winner. I used one of my favourite local…

my thoughts on juice cleansing

Never was I ever... a Juicer. Surprised? Not as a kid, adult or even now as Nutritionist. I didn't like the taste or appeal. So why on earth a juice cleanse? Well Nectar is not your average juicer and so that had something to do with joining forces. But here ya go... You may have heard me talk about cleansing…

The List – the only rules around recovery…

A while ago I gave this to a client as a check list of what "recovery" from and eating disorder might be best aimed at. I put "recovery" in quotations because the word has never felt right to me. It is almost as if one is then defined by being in remission, as if away from the illness but still…

Epic Cornbread Stuffing and Squash

Nothing says the holidays like Stuffing and Gravy. And though some may have, passed or still argued that the turkey was the centrepiece, I thought of it merely as a dish for the good stuff...ing. No more shall this be the case. This Epic Plant Based Cornbread Herbed Stuffing does all the talking on its own. Definitely only plants needed…

Coconut Lime Matcha Cheesecake

Ok, so call me unconventional, it hasn't been the first time. But these holidays often make me feel a little tropical. Maybe it's the cold, maybe its travelling to Maui as a child this time of year, but whatever the reason, I totally see it fit to taste like the tropics even in the cold of Christmas. Enter the Coconut…

Smokey Cheddah Cheese Ball

Nothing says the festive season like cocktail parties, appies, and festive Cheese Balls. Am I right? Slightly retro, mostly delicious and a star of the communal sharing table, might I introduce you to the "healthy" Smokey Cheddah Cheese Ball. This not only packs a powerful 1,2 in the fact that it's plant based but that it also has some natural…

Christmas Coconut Snowballs

Aloha on the brain, as it most often is at Christmas time for me. Perhaps it's my upcoming trip, Vancouver winters or my affinity for coconut. But these plant based power treats are really hitting the spirit of aloha in me. This creation was the adaptaion of a larger recipe of a coconut cream pie, and when one lovely retreater…

Cauliflower hot wings

Ok guys, so it's almost like cauliflower wings are the new gateway to healthy comfort food. Winged, riced, mashed, they are everywhere. And although this vegetable may lack in colour...it  makes up for it with a heavy nutritional punch. Enter the cauliflower hot wing. We've seen it, maybe tried it, but I just wanted to play with it a little…

why eating “good” is not the solution

Eating "good" or eating "bad" or even "better" is not is what is making us skinny, fat or whatever other adjective we choose to describe ourselves as. In fact it is just another way for us to put the name tag of perfectionism on our plate. Yes, there always is a food pun. The truth is that these barometers of…

Chocolate Tahini and Chickpea Cake

Healthy gut, healthy life...perhaps this is the truth. Often what doesn't go well with a happy gut and gut flora though is sugar. In fact it is one of the easiest ways to promote the growth of the "bad bacteria" and lessen the "good bacteria". But lets face it, the sweetness of life is just as important to overall health,…

Hair story…. what to do when it falls down

  I've been meaning on writing this one for a while. I think both subconsciously and consciously I kept avoiding it. Hair is such a part of our identity not only as women, but men too. And when our body has different plans for us, it gives us a mega fuck you and revolts and well, sheds its skin. Nice…
