When the weather is hot, I love a quick to make, no-bake, one-bowl-no-food=processor-needed treat recipe. These nutrition-packed strawberry bliss bites are stored in the fridge and make a cool treat when you need a bite of something healthy and a little sweet for that bit of energy you want.
Read MoreFlax eggs – like chia eggs – isn’t egg at all but rather a healthy egg substitute in vegan baking. A hen’s egg adds leavening (rising), binding, flavour and colour to a baked good where a flax egg or chia egg adds the binding but no rising of the batter. Flax eggs are best used in coffee cakes, pancakes, muffins and squares – baked goods that do not need a lot of rising.
Read MoreHomemade Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing - a few ingredients, 2 minutes and you have a delicious and healthy dressing to top your romaine, or to use in many other ways – dollop on a sandwich, a bit on a hard-boiled egg is so yummy, top a burger (may I suggest my Best Black Bean and Quinoa Burger) or use as a sauce when cooking meat. Plus, there’s no excuse to not include a salad with your meal when you have a dressing ready to go in the fridge! Boost your nutrition everywhere you can!
Read MoreSuch a lovely coffee cake! It’s delicious and is a wonderful cake to make to serve with a cup of coffee or tea or for dessert with some whipped cream and blueberries on top.

Read MoreAn all-natural cough elixir that works! I have given this ages-old recipe of mine to so many people lately who have a Spring cold or have a covid cough and chest congestion.

Read MoreMarinara sauce is one of easiest tomato sauces you can make. My marinara takes less than a half hour to make and is a bit of a hybrid sauce in regards to flavour as I add onion, a bit of anchovy paste (easily omitted for a vegan or vegetarian marinara), both basil and oregano and I add parsley too. It is still lighter than a traditional tomato sauce and it is delicious!

Filled with good healthy nutrition to nourish you body and soul. Make a cup of your favourite hot beverage, sit back and enjoy these muffins for breakfast or anytime of the day when you need to take a moment for yourself or as a lovely loving treat for your family and friends.
