5 Tips for Better Sleep… from a Holistic Nutriti

5 Tips for Better Sleep… from a Holistic Nutritionist! 😴

Today on the blog, I’m sharing my best tips for a good night’s sleep. Including nourishing foods to eat for better sleep, essential oils, screen time vs. reading before bed, supplements, and why I think investing in a high quality mattress is SO important!

Did you know that new mattresses often off-pass VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can be harmful to our health for a number of YEARS?! VOCs can include phthalates, formaldehyde, chemical based flame retardants, and more. This can be a big issue, since we spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping (or trying to sleep).
 When it was time to upgrade our bed, I knew that I wanted to find a new mattress that is eco-friendly, made with sustainable materials, and CertiPUR-US certified for zero off-gassing. When I found @havensleepco I was really impressed. Not only do they check off all these boxes, but they are also Chiropractor approved!

I can’t say enough good things about our Haven Mattress - we’ve had a Queen Lux Hybrid Pillowtop for about 2 years, and just upgraded to this #gifted California King Lux Hybrid Pillowtop.

Vegan Sourdough Naan 🤤 As you may have seen f

Vegan Sourdough Naan 🤤

As you may have seen from my many sourdough stories & reels... I’m obsessed with all things sourdough! I’d love to share some sourdough bread recipes in the future - but this vegan sourdough naan is a great sourdough recipe for beginners!

It’s easy, delicious, and only takes a few hours to ferment. Plus this is a great way to use up sourdough discard!

I like to enjoy naan with homemade hummus 😍 It always best tastes best hot off the pan - crispy on the outside and deliciously tender and soft in the middle. This sourdough naan is dairy-free - as most recipes use yogurt. I’ve swapped that for a daily free alternative, making this recipe vegan (but not sacrificing on flavour)!

It’s officially too hot to cook 🥵... which is

It’s officially too hot to cook 🥵... which is why a fresh, crunchy caesar salad with almond flour chicken fingers is the perfect dinner to make tonight!

This is what I’m making - and instead of turning on the oven I’ll be cooking the chicken on the stove top!

This is one of my favourite summertime meals, for hot and humid days like today - where you want a light but satisfying dinner! I use fresh crunchy romaine lettuce (or massaged kale) and my healthy Caesar salad dressing which is also on my blog. It’s so lemony and garlicky - you can’t go wrong. ☺️ Add this to your list of meals to make this week!

Green Goddess Dressing 😍 … and my all time f

Green Goddess Dressing 😍

… and my all time favourite food photo I’ve taken. ☺️ Can we just talk about this lime green colour! I’m obsessed. Doesn’t this just look like the most fresh, healthy thing you can imagine eating!?

I’m really excited because it’s garlic scape season - and this recipe puts all those garlic scapes from your garden (or your farmers market haul) to fantastic use! It’s really zesty and creamy and honestly great on salad, as a veggie dip, OR on a nourish bowl. SO many options. I’ve included swaps to make this if you don’t have garlic scapes on hand - but if you’ve never tried them, be sure to pick some up at your local farmers market and try this recipe out!
 I’ve been getting garlic scapes in my CSA share from @ cedargroveorganicfarm , and this is what I love to make with them. But they are also delicious just sautéed in some olive oil with salt and pepper… you can’t go wrong.

This vegan garlic scape and herb Green Goddess Dressing is packed with flavour and is so tasty! A healthier take on classic green goddess dressing, with no dairy or mayo. Tag a friend below who think would love this recipe!

3 Things I’ve only just BEGUN to understand in m

3 Things I’ve only just BEGUN to understand in my late 20’s....

• other people’s perceptions of me / interpretation of my life + the choices I make... are not my responsibility! #boundaries 🤯 ... such a freeing thing to realize. Huge breakthrough with this one when my sister and I recently listened to @glennondoyle’s podcast episode 3 about boundaries - SO good. Also getting clear on your boundaries isn’t a negative thing and everyone can benefit from it. ☺️

• it’s really really really cool to just be yourself. Seriously everyone else is taken. 🤯

• a year from now, most of the things you’re worried about will not matter 🤯 AND you’ll probably forget you were even worried the things you’re currently fixated on. May as well stop worrying and enjoy the present.

I’m still learning and reminding myself of these thing every day but WOW - these lessons are 100% life changing and freeing! I wish my 27 year old self could tell my 17 year old self these things... but you live and you learn, right?!

What is the # 1 life lesson you’ve learned recently?

Chewy Fruit & Nut Granola Bars 😍 (a childhood f

Chewy Fruit & Nut Granola Bars 😍 (a childhood fave)!

Honestly, I hesitate to even call these granola bars – because they aren’t dry, crispy and crunchy like a classic granola bar. Instead, they are deliciously chewy and juicy because of all the dried fruit they contain!

When I was little, I spent a lot of time at my good friend @ingridpond ‘s house. Her wonderful Mom, Lisa, made these delicious fruit and nut granola bars mostly every week. This recipe is adapted from Lisa’s Famous recipe (those bars, as we used to call them), which we enjoyed almost everyday after school at Ingrid’s house. The smell of these baking in the oven instantly takes me back to their wonderful home, and transports me to those childhood memories. If you can’t travel back in time to childhood, at least you can enjoy those delicious comforting foods that make you feel like a kid all over again! ❤️❤️❤️ I think of Lisa every time I make these and I am so honoured to share the recipe (slightly modified to be diary free and egg free) on my blog today!

What recipe / food instantly transports you back to your childhood?? Comment below and let me know, and bonus points if you can guess what the KEY dried fruit is in these (it’s not usually in granola bars...)

If I’m being honest... I 100% snacked on this cookie dough before baking... how could I resist?! 😍

Link is in my bio for these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies! These are gluten free and dairy free 👌🏼 and sweetener with Monk Fruit (or coconut sugar if you prefer)!

Be honest - do you snack on the cookie dough or only eat them once baked?? 🍪
