LIVE FRIENDLY – EAT FRIENDLY
This kind of a recipe is quite unusual for me in that I generally don’t like to replicate meaty foods. Even before switching to a plant-based diet, I just didn’t like the texture or taste of meat. That might be why I’m not a big fan of using jackfruit as a meat replacement. I’ve tried […]
If you have been following my Instagram or previous blog recipes, such as my German Mac and Cheese (Nudelauflauf), you can probably guess that I come from a German family. I was born and raised in Canada, but I grew up eating traditional German foods. My blog inspiration comes from my comfort food, which includes […]
Twenty six days into my June Friendly Challenge, and things are going well. Every June, and every November, I generally challenge myself to some kind of health challenge, whether it’s to exercise more, or to abstain from refined sugar, or drink more water. This June, I kicked it up a notch and decided to go […]
Generally, I forget about all the non-lettuce salad options! I have a garden full of lettuce, but for whatever reason I REALLY wanted a Greek Salad. I wanted it so much that I convinced my dad to let me make it for Father’s Day even though he insisted on making all the food himself! Pretty […]
There’s a reason why the new Canadian food guide has dropped dairy and now recommends more plant protein sources. This is HUGE. Finally, the compelling nutrition research showing the benefits of a plant-based diet is not being overlooked. Research has shown that not only is a diet higher in fruits and vegetables linked to lower […]
Maybe June wasn’t the best time to plan for a Whole Food Plant-based Challenge with all the baby showers happening! Here I was thinking I could make these treats without taste testing, but I had no choice. I wanted to perfect this recipe, not only to make a perfect baby shower cake for the soon-to-be […]
Who doesn’t love a good guacamole? And who doesn’t love a good hummus?? Enter: Lima Bean Guacomole. I promise this recipe will not disappoint. It has all the mexican goodness of good ol’ guac and has the heartiness of hummus. Except this hummus is made with Lima beans. It seems like Lima beans are being […]
Chia Pudding is a MUST have in a plant-based diet. Its versatility is endless and its health benefits are astounding. Once you understand the basic ratio of chia seeds to plant-based milk, Bob’s your Uncle! (By the way, I have no idea where that saying is from, or what it even means). In any case, […]
Day one of the Friendly Challenge DONE. It’s not a diet and I’m not restricting myself (Case in point in this recipe!) For 30 days, I’m following a whole foods plant-based diet, which I recommend to everyone. The evidence is compelling that it’s the ideal way of eating for everyone. For people that have not […]
I had to think long and hard about what my first blog post would be because, well, I like SO MUCH FOOD. My all-time favourite food though.. my mom’s ‘Nudelauflauf’ which is a baked Mac and Cheese! My friends always wanted to come over on Nudelauflauf day because it’s just so rich and yummy and […]
