The BEST Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies
Another sweet zucchini recipe, because, let's face it, we're still buried in zucchini over here, and maybe you are too, lol! These are soft & chewy, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, refined sugar free, and so delicious! Packed full of whole oats, chocolate chips and zucchini. Let's make some: INGREDIENTS 1c gf flour blend 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp cinnamon (or just do 1/2 tsp if you want a less strong cinnamon flavour) 1/2c coconut oil, not melted (or use vega

Oven Baked Breaded Zucchini Chips
Here’s the last video of our zucchini series so far!! Hopefully these help you find new & delicious ways to use up all your zucchini. This last one is a super quick and easy oven-baked breaded zucchini chip recipe, that is so addictively crunchy on the outside, and soft & creamy on the inside (and this is coming from someone who wasn’t a big fan of zucchini - maybe I just never had it prepared this way!!?!) INGREDIENTS: 1 medium zucchini 1/4c plant milk (we used almond milk)

Zucchini Fritters/Pancakes | Low-carb | Keto | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free
It's zucchini season!! Anyone else have far too many zucchinis that they know what to do with? That's why you're here, right? These fritters (or do you call them "pancakes"?) are so healthy & delicious that I gobbled them up in one sitting (and I'm NOT a big zucchini fan - I hate how it gets mushy when cooked). They're pretty quick & easy to make, and you could prep a HUGE batch to use up all your zucchini, then freeze them for a quick snack/side through the week. We also jus

Healthy Multi-Seed & Nut Bread aka “Life Changing Bread” Recipe
This was inspired by my recent visit to The Southwest Collective when I was visiting my friend back in April 2024. One day that week, her husband took the day off work, to watch their two young kids so we could go out together alone for brunch. I asked if they had a gluten-free bread option to go with my meal. The server said they had “Life Giving Bread” (but now I’m wondering if they had said Life Changing Bread and I heard them wrong). You can watch the short here:...

UPDATED Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
So it's that time of year again! Lol! Anyone that knows anyone with zucchini plants are now being given all their extra zucchini. We didn't get our seeds planted early enough this year, so I thought we were going to miss out, but a friend of a friend, has been giving us BAGS of them (so many I brought some to my parents' house). Here's one of our favourite ways to use zucchini which dates back to my grandparents baking us zucchini bread when I was a kid. My mom told me last w

Frozen yogurt bites with raspberry & pistachio!
These choc. dipped yogurt bites have been going viral lately, and for good reason: they're super easy to make, totally customizable, and pretty healthy too.

DF/V Grimace Shake || aka a Blueberry Raspberry Vanilla Milkshake
After trying a McDonalds grimace shake recently (on our drive home from Toronto after the Gluten Free Garage), my kids had the WORST stomachache (and I didn't dare touch it), so we thought we'd make our own at home, sans tummy aches (dairy-free/vegan). Grimace shake video: https://youtube.com/shorts/KuDILlqMDiw?feature=share Whipcream recipe video: https://youtu.be/s_N9svqDq8M Here's what we used: 1 cup organic frozen wild blueberries 1/2c organic frozen red raspberries 1/2c

Paleo "Snickers" Date Bites?
Make these stuffed dates for a super-easy, delicious, paleo, Snickers-like treat. Let me know if you try these with peanuts & PB. I used a pecan, and almond butter, since we're a peanut free facility. They even kinda LOOK like snickers inside too! This is WAY better than the VIRAL TikTok date bark recipe. Even faster, AND easier, BETTER texture, and BETTER ingredient proportions = 100% tastes like a snickers, even without peanuts (we used a pecan, and almond butter). Ingredie

Apple Crisp Recipe (2 ways)
With apple season finally here (we got some yummy apples from Lee & Maria's this week, and also picked out first apple from our new Honeycrisp tree in our backyard!) I've dusted off my mom's old apple crisp recipe, and given it a gluten-free, refined-sugar-free overhaul. Hope you like it! I make it two different ways: 1. As one bigger crisp: This makes enough for a 8x8 baking dish, and is great for sharing. For that, we like to bake it in a square 8x8 pyrex baking dish. 2. On

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe
In our house, zucchini season calls for double chocolate zucchini bread!! Back when I was little, my grandma would make us zucchini bread, using zucchinis they had grown in their backyard garden. Now we do it every time we get too many zucchinis, but with a healthier take on it. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and no refined sugar. No fancy steps or equipment required, and it's all mixed in one bowl, so easy clean up too. INGREDIENTS 1 large or 2 smaller zucchinis (after shredding y

Grain-Free, Corn-Free Sorghum "Popcorn"
Photo: organic air-popped popcorn (left), with organic pan-popped sorghum (right). If you're looking for a grain-free/corn-free alternate to popcorn, give this recipe a try! It uses organic pseudo-grain sorghum in place of corn kernels, for a healthier alternative, and uses pretty much the same technique as stove-top popcorn. (We tried in the air-popper but the sorghum kernels are so light, they flew out before popping). Have you heard of sorghum? It's a nutrient packed pseud

Our Favourite Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Ever wonder what to do with all those seeds (after you've carved your Halloween pumpkins, or made some pumpkin pies)? Every Halloween we try different recipes roasting the pumpkin seeds. This year, this was the winner! We tried several different recipes from adding paprika & garlic powder, to everything bagel spice, to these guys. The secret... white vinegar! These were an attempt to make salt & vinegar flavoured pumpkin seeds (cuz our kids love S&V potato chips). And althoug

Chocolate Avocado Breakfast Pudding
Creamy, chocolatey pudding, made easy with only 3 ingredients. Add some optional toppings for crunch, and you’re all set for a sweet-tooth-satisfying breakfast, full of healthy fats to keep you full until lunch. I love to make a bunch of these and freeze them for easy on-the-go breakfasts, when I don't have time to make something (Farmer's Market mornings!!). It's also great for when all your avocados and bananas go ripe at the same time, and you don't know what to do with th

DIY Tortilla/Pita Chips Recipe
Sticking with this week's "Creation Giveaway" theme, these make-your-own pita/tortilla chips are so quick & easy, you can make them in your oven in the time it takes to reheat leftover curry/soup. Or use them with your favourite dip or humus!! I don't know about you, but I totally miss corn. I used to put corn in my soups, our chili, and tortilla chips with salsa, dips or guac is just awesome. (And fresh Lafferty's corn on the cob!!! OMG. Don't we have the best corn here in E
