Sooooo, I know I’m completely off-season with this recipe because the flavours and profile just scream winter comfort food, BUT, I try not to think of homemade granola as a seasonal snack because it is literally one of my biggest weaknesses. And I embarrassingly consume it in amounts that stretch far beyond a normal portion size. But yolo. Many of you know, I’m sure, that my weakness is for foods that are both crunchy and savoury (i.e., I can make a bag of chips disappear in two seconds flat). ...

Vanilla-Orange Gluten Free Donuts | Easy Vegan Recipe
Sometimes you just wanna take a bite out of a warm, glazed doughnut. Ahhh, yum! A little indulgence from time to time, right? In moderation of course! The tough part about picking up doughnuts at coffee shops or dessert places is that it isn’t always easy to find “healthier” options. Gluten-free, vegan, allergen-free… Sometimes it can be a challenge. These doughnuts are both vegan and gluten-free, and I challenged myself to keep the sugar to a minimum. Half a cup of sugar for 12-13 ...
10-Minute Chickpea Chilli Sin Carne Recipe (V, GF)
From previous blog posts and YouTube videos I’ve shared, I think it comes as no surprise to anyone that I. Love. Comfort food! And chilli is no exception! A traditional chilli uses ingredients like ground beef, kidney beans, beef broth, etc. But a key ingredient to any chilli recipe is good quality, finely chopped tomatoes. Recently Mutti Canada approached me to create a unique recipe featuring their Mutti Finely Chopped Tomatoes (Polpa). The catch, however, was to use five ingredients or ...

Superfood Smoothie Stacks to Help Alkalize Your Body
Sometimes (usually on Sundays) I like to get fancy with my breakfasts. A couple layers of chia pudding, superfood smoothie, some coconut yogurt... you know, the usual. ;) My friends joke that with these layered chia cups and the endless smoothie bowls on my instagram page, that I should open a smoothie shack. I mean, I'm not saying that isn't a possibility... in the distant future maybe, where I'm retired, growing my own coconut trees, and living in Hawaii? Not a bad idea! ...
How to Make Perfect Ratatouille [Vegan + Gluten Free Recipe]
Ratatouille. Oui! Merci! The French side of me that puts the “Joly” in Nick Joly, is very satisfied right now. Ratatouille combines my love of three things; vegetables, garlic, and French cuisine. It’s a dish that should be cherished - at least my French ancestors think so! Classic ratatouille is composed of cooked vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers. ...
