Read MoreHomemade sauces, like my hoisin sauce recipe, are quick and easy to make and add more nutrition to your meal. I prefer to make my own sauces so I can control the ingredients, making sure they are top quality, limit the amount of sugar and salt that goes into it and leaves out the commercial additives that our bodies don’t need, like preservatives, chemical colour and thickening agents and they taste so fresh and flavourful!
Read MoreIt’s time for another Bliss Bite recipe! This time with chocolate and filled with healthy ingredients!

Read MoreThese Sweet Potato Fried are so easy to make and a great side dish for just about anything. I like my sweet potato fries with a hint of chili pepper but you can use any spice you feel like.

Read MorePresenting one of our favourite stir fry recipes. It’s vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. It’s packed with vitamin and mineral-rich veggies. This sauce though – Mmmmm! The secret is the miso paste – it’s so good! If you like miso, you must try this recipe!
Read MoreI make this sprinkle mixture to have on hand in the kitchen. It is a wonderful seasoning on soup - so, so delicious! We love it over popcorn. Sprinkle it over pasta or sweet potatoes or egg salad and avocado open-faced sandwiches! I have even added a teaspoon or two to hot water for a soothing delicious bouillon-style drink.
Read MoreQuinoa! For those unfamiliar with this wonderful food, quinoa is an ancient food – cultivated by the Incas in the Andes for thousands of years. Some love it and for those who aren’t fans of it, I’m sure it’s because it hasn’t been cooked properly when you had it!
Read MoreMaking your own salad dressings is so easy! This is one of my favourites – it can be a salad dressing or a sauce that you can use in fajitas, with cooked meat, with cubed pan roasted tempeh cubes, roasted veggies, boiled potatoes, over a half avocado, a drizzle over sliced hardboiled eggs… It’s really good!!
Read MoreA smoothie is a wonderful way to consume good nutrition. This Warming Spice Smoothie is an earthy, satisfying, healthy smoothie and not a very sweet smoothie like the ones you are used to that are made with fruits.
Read MoreLike many cooks, you likely peel then chop, mince or crush your garlic and cook it right away. By doing this you are missing out on a very healthy nutritional benefit.
Read MoreThis plant-based burger is a twist on the regular bean burger. Yes, this has beans – navy beans (or sometimes referred to as white pea beans), and also rice and sweet potatoes. The twist with this burger is that it has beets which boost the nutrition and makes the colour a nice pink.
Read MoreI have been playing around with different ingredients making energy bites, energy balls, snack balls… whatever you call them in your home.

Read MoreThis recipe was one of my contributions to a vegetarian cookbook a few years ago. It was inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant and then recreated at home from the flavours I remembered - but mine is better!
Read MoreCabbage is, in my opinion, an underrated and under-utilized vegetable. It is so much more than coleslaw! Cabbage is full of healthy nutrients and is very versatile in soups, stews, in fillings for burritos, enchiladas or tacos. Cabbage becomes soft and almost sweet when cooked.
