Vegan Butter Chicken Recipe | Easy to Follow 

November 29, 2020 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Easy vegan butter chicken recipe

Creamy, buttery, rich, exotic flavours.  When I was a teenager and I used to work at the mall, there was this Indian fast food restaurant in the food court that was so good--they always had a lineup! Every day on my lunch breaks I would run over there to try and beat the rush, and the only thing on the menu that I never got sick of ordering was their butter chicken on rice with a side of warm naan. Mmmmmm.  Oh. Em. Gee.  It was a foodgasm, every single time.  But making traditional Indian ...

Cherry + Banana Cocoa Snacking Rounds for the Whole Family

May 13, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

ozery bakery snacking rounds

When I was a little kiddo, I remember one of my all-time favourite snacks to be saltine cracker peanut-butter sandwiches. My grandmother and I would sit in the living room and make them together, scooping up the peanut butter by the spoonful. (no one else in the family was allowed to eat in the living room, but I was the youngest grandchild, so you know). Last week my heartmate and I had some friends over for a night of finger foods + board games. We lead exciting lives, we know. ...

Low-Sugar, Nutrient-Dense Plant-Based Bowl Recipes

June 2, 2017 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

low sugar plant based bowl recipes IBN

So there’s this theory that all foods look and taste better when they come served in a bowl. Crazy? I don’t think so. A while back, I was reading an article on how the human eye positively favours and gravitates towards circular or oblong shaped items. Why? Because everything that comes from the earth, naturally has rounded and curved edges. We’re all subconsciously trained to favour rounded items, because we believe that Mother Nature or Planet Earth has provided it to us. Sound a ...

Cauliflower Couscous Rice Tabbouleh Recipe

goop. You know goop. Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle blog that offers unbiased recommendations on things from travel, food, skincare and more. I love goop. Over the year's it's become one of my go-to's for health-centric advice, and educational content. In a lot of ways, when Gwyneth Paltrow launched goop, she was pioneering the concept of content-creation as a viable lifestyle for many of us bloggers today.  ...

how to make vegan banana pops

How many of you have seen these banana pops online before?! I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately, so naturally I had to take a stab at making them myself! For one, I love bananas, and two I love a good healthy snack. Especially before and after a good workout. Bananas are great before AND after workouts! They're awesome at boosting metabolisms and repairing muscle.  ...

The Ultimate Vegan Appetizer for Your Next Dinner Party!

August 31, 2016 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Easy Vegan Recipes with Simple Ingredients

Last week S & I held a dinner party at our place for six of our friends, and we made a vegan appetizer that left EVERYONE wanting more! I should've listened to my mom who always said "it's better to have too much than not enough!" Truthfully, our friends were satisfied (at least that's what they said), but all of them were asking for the recipe of my vegan appetizer! I actually shouldn't say "my" vegan appetizer, as I got it from the event I previously shared with you, hosted by Loblaw's, ...

happy #dayofpink y’all 🌷 a day where I hope e happy #dayofpink y’all 🌷 a day where I hope everyone can stand in solidarity and in allyship to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to end discrimination which we know can take form in many ways be it based on race, age, gender, sexuality, being differently abled, or other.

because for as much progress as we’ve made, we still see and hear stories of injustice, bullying, and repression every single day. So please challenge yourselves to have difficult conversations, be open to learning, support your networks, elevate the voices of those who need it, raise awareness, endorse people who are committed to equality, and commit to change so we can build a better tomorrow 🏳️‍🌈🌸

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick

When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored
