Healthy Oat & Honey Cranberry Crisp | 5 Ingredients

By 2 Comments

This healthy cranberry crisp is topped with a simple oat and honey crumble. With only 5-ingredients, this low sugar, gluten-free dessert is a seasonal favourite. Serve it with some plain yogurt or coconut vegan yogurt for a nutritious and delicious dessert!

This healthy cranberry crisp is a fall-time favourite. Low-bush cranberries are a local Indigenous food, favoured by the coastal First Nation people on Vancouver Island. Low-bush cranberries can be used in any recipe in place of regular store-bought cranberries. Both are tangy in taste and contain very little sugar compared to other berries such as strawberry and blueberry. I love making this 5-ingredient crisp with frozen cranberries from the years’ harvest – enjoy it as it is, or it also tastes great with some added orange zest or baked with apple.

No-Bake Gluten-Free Labnah Cheesecake | Two-Ingredients

By Leave a Comment

This two-ingredient cheesecake recipe is really just that – labneh and jam. Labneh, which is also known as yogurt cheese, can be purchased from specialty Middle Eastern stores or made at easily at home. Here I’ll show you how I make my own labneh at home, as well as some of my favourite toppings to transform the yogurt into a no-bake gluten-free cheesecake.

I am not taking credit for this dessert – variations of this are being enjoyed around the world every day. I was shown a variation of this from Fig Del in Victoria. There, they make their own Labneh, and the owner was so kind to let me try some topped with preserved cherries. Here I want to share how I made this dessert at home – I love the simplicity of it, and by using a good quality yogurt makes for a rich and creamy Labneh. Labna, or yogurt cheese, is high in protein and healthy fats and makes the perfect base for this two-ingredient gluten-free cheesecake.

Seedy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies | Flour-Free

By 3 Comments

These super seedy peanut butter oatmeal cookies and made with just that – seeds, peanut butter and oats. I love these cookies because they are sweetened naturally with honey and are flour-free. These cookies make the perfect power snack, night-time sweet-treat, or even a delicious breakfast cookie!

These cookies have been a success in our cooking groups – even more than my old favourite Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies. The combination of peanut butter and honey is always a winner, but I think what sets these cookies apart is the perfect amount of crunch from the trio of seeds – sesame, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (pepitas). They are a great after-dinner treat, healthy snack on the run, and I could even be convinced that these could stretch to be a breakfast cookie!

Raw Almond Dip | Vegan

By 7 Comments

This delicious and simple Raw Almond Dip Recipe can be used just like hummus! When the almonds are blended, they create a delicious and creamy spread. It is naturally raw, low-carbohydrate, vegan and gluten-free, making a great option when catering to groups of people.

I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for this chickpea-free Raw Almond Dip for awhile now. In my practice, there are many reasons why clients might need to avoid chickpeas. The most common reason is due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which can cause bloating, gas or pain. Some people are simply looking for low-carbohydrate alternatives.  I also try to stand by the goal of 50% of my meals being raw (see my post Is A Raw Diet For You?). Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of the legume family (see my post 5 Reasons You Should Eat Lentils) but this Raw Almond Dip hits the spot for certain dietary needs, and best of all, it is SO tasty.
