This week, I shared another simple and easy recipe over at BAKED the blog. With Old man winter a constant by our side these days, I wanted to highlight some of the "it" fruits this season...cranberries and persimmons! Have you ever had a persimmon? Don’t let their tomato-like appearance and texture turn you away, they’re a lovely sweet seasonal fruit. For this recipe, I’ve turned ripe Hachiya ...

The Green Goddess sandwich is perfect for picnics and patio lunches. With loads of nutritious greens and a tangy vegan herb mayo, you can't go wrong!

It's sandwiched (pun intended) between two important and ...
Quick Pickled French Breakfast Radishes
An easy way to prepare seasonal radishes from the market or garden! Tart, sweet and salty with great crunch. The pickling process needs a minimum of 8 hours, but prep is quick and they make an easy condiment to keep on hand for sandwiches or salads!

Rhubarb Cinnamon Oat Crumble
A perfectly easy to prepare taste of spring that is vegan friendly, lower in refined sugar and higher in fiber than traditional rhubarb crumbles. This puckering-sweet recipe is great on it's own, but also wonderful in the morning served with yogurt, or with non-dairy ice cream as a dessert!

So, you might be wondering why I've chosen to make it a part of this recipe? Because it's completely undetectable! You would never guess that these super fluffy, light-as-air pancakes are actually very high in fiber and taste just like ...

Baked Falafel & Garlic Dill Sunflower Dip
An easy go-to recipe for lunch or dinner that is high in fiber, protein and flavour! Texture is key; while blending, be sure not to over-process or puree the mixture- a fine coarse crumb with several larger pieces is optimal. Baked Falafel can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for an easy salad topper, finger food for your kid, or as a late night snack. These are not traditional ...
Gluten-Free Oat & Quinoa Blender Waffles
Happy Friday, friends! Have you ever tried blender waffles? They're incredibly easy because they're made (you guessed it) in a blender. I love recipes that come together with little fuss and clean up. A mix of oats and quinoa blended into a flour (I use a Vitamix) makes up the base of this recipe. Quinoa adds a wonderful nutty flavour, and protein which helps to keep you ...
