This plant based lentil bolognese did not disappoint. Packed with veg and super simple to make, it’s my ultimate healthy comfort food! I had most of these ingredients on hand so was able to throw this together without leaving my house. But if you don’t you can also make a ton of substitutions to this and it will still turn out great so be creative and use what you have. Enjoy and stay well xo
An oldie but a goodie and turns out zoodles are actually pretty tasty. Low cal zucchini noodles, fresh tomatoes, onion, meaty artichoke hearts, baby spinach and garlic tossed in zesty lemon juice. A super light plant based meal that is perfect for any night of the week.
Sick season in Canada has officially arrived. Lucky for me I’ve had a bag of carrots straight from Dads garden sitting in my fridge that I’ve been dying to use. There’s nothing better than a super simple carrot soup. This one is extra special and inspired by my Momma who makes the best carrot soup I’ve ever had! Super Sweet garden carrots, lots of fresh garlic, chives and creamy coconut milk makes this recipe my new go to for plant based carrot soup.
This plant based recipe is all about fresh flavours. Super versatile and easy to whip up for lunch or dinner using a skillet only. Savoury thai veggie crumble sautéed with fresh basil, sweet peppers, garlic and green onion. Served over basmati rice, topped with marinated basil and green onion in fresh lime juice.
I’ve had many firsts since switching to a plant based diet and Udon noodles have by far been one of my best discoveries! Not a whole lot of nutritional value in them but they are amazing when tossed with a ton of veggies and can be a great carb option to keep you fuller for longer. They can be used in soups, stir frys and even as a pasta substitute. This recipe was a no brainer for me and was what got me hooked on Udon noodles! Super easy, full of flavour and best of all satisfying!
I’m a polish girl through and through so cabbage rolls have always been a favourite of mine. Seriously though how could you not LOVE them? This recipe is super easy and cheap! It has all those familiar flavours but is totally plant based and best of all healthy! Throw it all together in 10 minutes, bake and forget about it.
As an avid egg roll lover (my Mom’s homemade egg rolls are the bomb!) I knew it was only a matter of time before I came up with a plant based version. This super quick and easy egg roll skillet has all those familiar flavours we know and love. Roll into traditional egg rolls or keep it light and serve with brown rice, either way this recipe is a keeper.
If you live in Canada then you know winter has finally arrived (Brr). I developed this plant based stew the other day when I was craving something warm and hearty yet super flavourful and healthy. All ingredients were staples I already had so it was super easy to throw together and let simmer while I went about my chilly day. Potatoes, chickpeas and lentils simmered in a spicy red curry sauce served on quinoa with fresh cilantro is my kinda meal. I skipped the coconut milk this time so if you’re looking for a relatively low fat option this recipe is for you. And remember, healthy cooking during the winter and a Global pandemic is all about being versatile with what you have - so feel free to replace or add extra of any vegetable you love!
