Healthy Pumpkin Oat Pancakes 🥞

...The real question is: do you drizzle maple syrup on top of your pancakes, or dip each bite into the syrup?!

Maybe this is just me, but ever since I was little, I’ve preferred to have a little ramekin of maple syrup on the side for pancake-dipping! This way my pancakes don’t get too drenched in maple syrup, soggy, and too sweet for my liking. Trust me - you have to try it!

Visit the website link in my bio to get the recipe for these Healthy Pumpkin Oat Pancakes that just hit the blog today! They are so simple and delicious, and I definitely think you should make them for breakfast ASAP, and enjoy with a coffee or tea! ☺️🥞

And yes... last week was iced-coffee weather, but this week we’re back cooler (rainy) weather! 🌧 Hey, I’m not complaining - rainy weather makes for perfect study weather, and I’m so glad to see things starting to turn green outside! 🌱
I can’t wait to plant some little seedling and get my garden growing this year!

Who’s with me (on the second cup of coffee ☕️ OR the garden?!) 🪴☺️

A few months ago, I did a big pantry re-organization and clean up! Anyone else have a pantry or kitchen cupboards filled with in-labelled spices and random dry ingredients in bags??

That was totally ME! Not only was it making me feel un-inspired, but it was also just very disorganized, making it hard to find ingredients and know what was in there. I decided it was the perfect stay-at-home activity, so I set to work and did a total overhaul. A few things I did that helped me get organized:

• First I a list of my favourite and most-used ingredients that I keep on hand all the time
• Then, I made a list of my spices + any spices I wanted to add to my collection
• Collected some large glass jars & glass spice jars to transfer everything into
• Ordered labels and jars from @zahrasplace.co - a local Etsy shop out of Toronto! Zahra’s pretty labels make my life so much easier (as opposed to the un-labelled bags I had before)! 😭

Swipe >> to see my pretty spice collection as well! I hope this inspires you, I just wanted to share because I love seeing other people’s pantry make-overs. If you need a stay-at-home spring cleaning activity, get yourself some jars and labels, you won’t regret it! ☺️

The BEST Cultured Cashew & Coconut Cheese 🧀 Dai

The BEST Cultured Cashew & Coconut Cheese 🧀 Dairy-Free!

I honestly can’t believe that I now culture my own cashew cheese, in between making sourdough bread and everything else I cook from scratch! 😆The next thing you know I’ll be making my own dairy-free yogurt… which actually sounds delicious and I want to try! 😍

To be honest, I love cheese – like the real deal, made with dairy. BUT when I started to notice that it was not sitting well with my stomach and causing me a lot of bloating, I knew that I’d have to find an alternative that was just as yummy.

This Cultured Cashew Coconut Cheese is the result, and I can’t get enough of these two delicious spreads! It’s incredibly delicious, and makes the best snack on some crackers, a fresh slice of sourdough, or spread onto a delicious sandwich. I can’t wait for you to try!

Recipe is now up on my blog, go to the link in my bio or:

Food for thought 💭 🌱 🌎 ⁣ The past year

Food for thought 💭 🌱 🌎
⁣
The past year has taken a toll on many small businesses, while further propelling the success of retail giants such as Amazon. In fact 2020 was a record-braking year for Amazon – propelling them to triple profits and increase earnings by 37%. Meanwhile, the CFIB estimates that 1 in 7 small businesses are at risk of permanently closing due to COVID-19.
⁣
It is clear that we need to support local, eco-friendly and ethical businesses now more than ever, in order to have a green recovery from this pandemic.
⁣
Amazon may be convenient, and easy… but do we have to choose easy over ethical? Worker exploitation, tax dodging, invasion of customer privacy, and general encouragement of overconsumption are just a few things that come to mind. As always, I believe we can vote with our dollar and where you choose to spend it. So why not support eco-friendly, ethical, and local businesses that are currently struggling due to the global pandemic, rather than throwing more money at the wealthiest man in the world?
⁣
I’d much rather support small businesses that have a positive impact on their employees and the planet, than to support Amazon and other large retailers! I’ve rounded up a directory of small businesses in Canada 🇨🇦 that you can shop online as alternatives to Amazon.
⁣
Tap the link in my bio 👆🏼to see the full blog post! Be sure to leave a comment below if you have a favourite small Canadian business that you think should be added to the list so we can boycott Amazon together! 🌱☺️
⁣
PS. If you want to watch an awesome video about Amazon’s 10 Billion Dollar Climate Fund & the truth behind what that really means... then head over to @levi_hildebrand ‘s YouTube Channel because he breaks it all down and examines this marketing scheme in detail 👍🏼

⚡️NEW recipe! ⚡️

If you’ve been on a journey to balance your hormones and have a healthier period, then you may have heard about “seed cycling”. This is the practice of eating specific seeds at each phase of your cycle to support your hormones as they naturally fluctuate, and has been used by women for decades to help balance their hormones! ✨👏🏼
⁣
If you’re thinking “that sounds complicated, I don’t have time” – hear me out! I thought the same thing at first, but then I realized how simple it really is. The seeds you will need include: flaxseeds, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds. All of which are easy to find, and easy to incorporate into smoothies, breakfast yogurt bowls, or protein bites such as these! In fact, made this recipe for Seed Cycling Protein Bites because I wanted to make it easier to get my daily dose of seeds in!
⁣
Tap the link in my bio to read more about how seed cycling works, and to get the recipe for these super easy and tasty seed cycling protein bites! ☺️

The secret to a delicious salad is l in the dressing! I'm willing to bet that you WANT to eat healthy and enjoy salads, but they just take too much time & effort. Store bought salad dressings are tempting because they are convenient…but have you ever read the ingredients? 😬
⁣
Soybean oil, canola oil, sugar in the form of high fructose corn syrup, and sodium-rich preservatives are all common unhealthy ingredients that are lurking in store-bought dressings. In other words, a sure-fire way to reduce the health benefits of eating a salad in the first place.
⁣
I want to help you to take your salads to the next level, with 4 easy, healthy and delicious salad dressings that you can easily meal prep ahead of time! Tap the link in my bio to download my free guide which includes all my favourite dressings - right away. 😊 Enjoy!
