Matcha Moringa Latte

Sat, 02 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Matcha Moringa Latte is packed with antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Moringa leaves are highly nutritious, containing protein, vitamin B6, iron, vitamin C and riboflavin. An extra boost of collagen makes it extra rich with added health benefits.

Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein which plays an important role in the structural support of connective tissue, muscle and skin. Our collagen production decreases with age, exposure to environment pollution, smoking, stress and ultraviolet rays. Make sure to purchase a clean hydrolyzed collagen product that is GMO free, with no artificial flavours, no added hormones, grass fed cows etc.

Rye Sourdough

Sat, 18 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Sourdough bread is made from flour, water,and salt. It is fermented with wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Long hours of fermentation breaks down the flour which increases digestibility. Rye flour has a deep distinct flavour and is higher in fiber and phytonutrients than wheat. Gluten in rye is not as elastic as wheat therefore it results in a more dense and hearty loaf of bread.

This is an easy way to prepare a nutrient dense loaf of sourdough bread. It requires minimal labour.

Garlic Mushroom Rice

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

I’m a huge garlic lover. I like them prepared in all forms, raw, cooked, fermented, you name it. This dish is packed with garlic and oyster mushroom. It is a simple nutritious meal. Mushrooms in general are high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Oyster mushrooms are one of the mushrooms containing the highest protein content, 100g contains 3.3g of protein. This mushroom has a meaty texture. My kids said it smelled like chicken when i was cooking this dish. Turmeric is potent in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Cumin aids in digestion and is rich in iron. All the components of the dish makes it a wonderful immune support meal!

Make sure to add a generous amount of oil when cooking the mushrooms, you want it to have a slightly crunchy texture.

Gluten Free Apple Crisp

Fall is my favourite season of the year. The sunny and cooler weather, beautiful colours of the maple leaves and soaking up in warming spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and ginger. Light up some candles, take a warm relaxing bath, sip on a cup of golden mylk or chai latte. I can go on and on about how i much i love every moment of Fall.

Apples are abundant in Autumn. Apple crisp is definitely a frequently baked goods in our house. It’s easy to whip up and enjoy any time of the day.

Quinoa Spelt Bread

Thu, 10 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000

We eat all types of bread including white and multigrain but I am always on a hunt for healthy and tasty bread recipes. This is so far the best multigrain bread recipe that I have baked, it is moist and light. Perfect to serve as toast in the morning. I feel good when serving my family this bread to start the day. It goes well with anything but my favorite is peanut butter and jam.

Salted Caramel Pecan Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2015 01:16:04 +0000

Dear Friends,

Sorry I have been MIA for nearly two years. This is long over due and I am very excited to get back to blogging! A lot has happened in the past two years and I do not want to bore you with every single detail so I will give you some of the highlights. I was pregnant with baby no. 2 and in the first trimester the last time I blogged. I was home taking care of a two year old and feeling nauseous most of the time from the pregnancy therefore I decided to take a break from blogging. We welcomed a new addition, Andre was born last year in August. Having a toddler and a baby kept me even busier than ever! We moved from a condo to a house this summer and we still have boxes to unpack and lots work to do in the house.

I will try to post one recipe per week and sometimes might have to keep it simple with a short description in the post. After all, it is the amazing recipes I’d like to share with you the most rather than writing long posts.

Candied Orange Peel & Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Sat, 07 Dec 2013 04:43:51 +0000

If you’ve been following our blog, you may have noticed that we like to experiment with ingredients and flavors. Of course, it’s not always like that, especially during the week when cooking the daily lunches and dinners, we usually stick to what we know. But we always try to cook something new during the weekend to make it more interesting. I guess we have the same approach for this blog. We could write about another double chocolate chip cookie recipe but I think the internet has so many great recipes already that I don’t think it would be interesting for you to read. Now, what if I add candied orange peel?
