Peanut Thai Tofu Buddha Bowls
This is by far one of my favourite recipes and when we made this during a cooking class, it was a hit with everyone. The smell of the tofu cooking peanut sauce is enough to make you steal a taste before assembling the bowls. If you are new to cooking with tofu, this...
Maple Balsamic Roasted Tempeh
Have you tried Tempeh yet? I find most clients that come to me have heard of tofu, but not tempeh! Like tofu, tempeh is also made from soybeans but they are fermented. While tofu is smooth and one consistency, tempeh is more dry, firmer and somewhat chewy. It has a...
Fudgey Double Chocolate Avocado Cookies
What do you do when you have a bunch of ripe avocados and bananas? Bake! I adapted a recipe I have made in the past just like this by adding some flour to it. This helped the cookies to thicken up better. I used chickpea flour because I had been on a kick trying to...

Raw Vegan Fudge Brownie
I can't really decide if this is more like a fudge or brownie. So I am just naming it both! Seriously, you will not believe that lentils are in here. The versatility of lentils makes me want to throw them in almost any type of dish. These powerhouse little legumes are...
Sweet Potato Breakfast for Athletes
Athletes require more carbohydrates than sedentary individuals. I love the idea of this stuffed sweet potato for breakfast because its very easy to customize the amount of carbs at this meal based on one’s own needs. Why Sweet Potatoes? Sweet potatoes may not be...
Mediterranean Hummus Pasta
This cold pasta salad is a great meal to prep on the weekend and have as a lunch throughout the week. Meal prepping for an hour or two at the beginning of the week can save you a lot of time and money. For this recipe, you can use whole wheat pasta or a gluten free...
