Miraculous 1-Ingredient CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
I keep seeing these 1 or 2 ingredient chocolate recipes, and sometimes they fail, and sometimes they look delicious - It makes me think, do they really work? And are they any good? So we’re finally giving it a try. Here’s how we’re doing it: Ingredients: 150g dark choc (you want good tasting, high cocao content, good quality choc since this is the only flavour component - I used 70% allulose-sweetened-dark chocolate) 1/2c boiling water (not cold, as some recipe say - we want

Drink lemon water? Try this! 💦🍋
Use the WHOLE lemon for added limonene!! 💦🍋 Lots of people already drink lemon water for digestion, etc, but this is next level. But using the whole lemon, you get the added benefits of limonene (an essential oil found in the peel) that has been shown in studies to have an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-stress effect, been shown to help reduce mood disorders, and may help reduce triglycerides and lower blood sugar levels. 🩺 The combo of EVOO & lemon is known to h

Blueberry Hack 🫐😉 take all the sweet ones! (or take the sour-lower-sugar ones if thats your jam)
Try this fun hack if you want to secretly steal all the sweetest berries (or if your kids will only eat the super sweet ones! 🫐😬), …or if you’re keto/low-carb/diabetic and want to only eat the sour ones. 🙌🏻👍🏻 It actually works! But why? 🤔 Because the sweeter ones are more dense and sink to the bottom. Watch the video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/x7ptTlt1qAI

Soft & Gooey Banana-Date Sticky Buns | GF/DF/V
Watch the step-by-step video here: https://youtu.be/l2XuXBvGvoc Banana sticky buns are my nostalgic go-to for using up way too many ripe bananas. When I was little, my mom used to make Banana Sticky Buns from the Bisquick cookbook. (Sidebar: do you remember when every baking brand had its own cookbook? The Robin Hood flour one will forever be my favourite.) When I first started my YouTube channel, I tried to gluten-free-ify that recipe. And while it was… fine? It definitely

Holiday Mince Tarts
This was a labour of love for James and a request from a YouTube subscriber. I tried making these British treats with several different crusts. First with an almond shortbread tart shell, which was so delicious, but stuck badly, and got very soft after sitting. I tweaked the recipe, and got it to not stick, but it browns overly if you blind bake it first to keep it crisp. So here’s a totally new approach, with a melt in your mouth shortbread pie crust, that doesn’t stick and

Quick Chickpea Curry
Do you ever just crave a warm cozy meal like chickpea curry? I’d saved a viral Chana Masala recipe video from Sara of Nutrient Matters for a rainy day, and today was that day. But I didn’t have a few items on hand like fresh tomatoes, so I made a few tweaks (and bonus it becomes even faster & easier), and paired it with a gluten-free version of Radhi’s naan (from her JoyFULL cookbook). It totally scratched that warm & cozy itch. INGREDIENTS 4-6 tbsp tomato paste (more if you
