Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok.

Black Forest Brownie Cake 🍒🤍🍫

The original recipe for this chocolate cherry brownie cake is by Radhi Devlukia-Shetty in her cookbook: “JoyFULL” (but we made a few tweaks based on ingredient availability at a friend’s house). I’m totally loving the savoury recipes in Radhi’s book, and also make her moon milk recipes almost every night before bed. So I thought it would be fun to try her brownie cake recipe - It’s gluten free, egg free, dairy free, refined sugar free & vegan. And instead of stacking & “icing

Rainbow Peanut Noodles

But family-style!! My daughter wanted to make rainbow peanut noodles for my birthday dinner, based on a grab-n go noodle bowl we had picked up at Boon Bakery in Owen Sound this past summer.

This is definitely on our “make more often” list now. :) Protein: ► Sliced BBQ or rotisserie chicken (or sub for tofu) Salad: ► vermicelli rice noodles ► frozen edamame beans, boiled ► cucumber, julienned* we used a julienne peeler ► carrot, jul

Lemon Blueberry Marshmallow Ice Cream aka “Moonbeam" Ice Cream - Dairy-Free & Refined Sugar Free

Colour Changing Lemonade 🩷💜💙 Recipe

It goes by many names: Magic Lemonade, Galaxy Lemonade or Mermaid Lemonade, and it involves adding blue matcha/butterfly pea flower tea to lemonade. The anthocyanin pigments in the blue matcha are blue in alkaline/basic environments, but turn purple, then pink in more acidic environments such as lemonade!! It appears as magic, but it’s chemistry! Short video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/HJwMQCqlOOw?feature=share For 2 Servings Magic Ice: ►1 tsp blue matcha (butterfly pea

Plum Crumble Bars | gf, df, vegan

We recently bought WAY too many yellow plums from a local farm market, and after eating our fill of them fresh/as is, it’s time to start turning them into yummy baked goods. I brainstormed several ideas, like a frangipane tart, or plum cake, before landing on this recipe. I didn’t feel like taking the time to develop my own recipe for this one, so I grabbed my trusty Bakerita cookbook by Rachel Conners. Her recipes always deliver, are gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-fr

🍑🥧 Single Serving Almond Flour Peach Cobbler Recipe

It’s gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and potentially low carb (depending on what sweetener you choose - I used allulose) We picked up a pile of amazing fresh peaches from a local farm market this week (shout out to @thefarmhousemarket) and have been slowly eating thru the basket (slowly as in 🍑🍑🍑 at a time, because they’re so good!🧡😋) but I’ve also been enjoying them as an afternoon/after-dinner treat, as a single serve cobbler, topped with melty va

Healthier Magic “Seven Layer” Cookie Bars

I recently dropped off some of our bakery’s gf/df/v goodies to The Panetteria, a local bakery that carries our stuff, and my daughter picked out a few of their things for our family to share - one of which was a Magic Bar, and boy did it tempt me - I LOVE magic bars (and really, ANYTHING coconut). So instead of “gluten-ing” myself and paying for one magical bite, I decided to dust off my recipe for a better-for-you version. This version is rich, gooey, and satisfying, just li

Crispy, crunchy, roasted lentils 😍🥗 #Saladtopper #glutenfreecroutons

I’m sure you’ve seen crunchy, roasted chickpeas before. But this is a fun twist. Plus, they’re extra crunchy and give you more protein & less carbs (net and total), and more fiber per serving than chickpeas (or croutons!) And bonus: they’re also faster to cook from scratch; giving you a healthy, gluten-free alternative to a crouton on your salads this summer (or frankly to any dish you’d like to add some texture, crunch and/or extra protein too) INGREDIENTS: ► 3/4-1 cup dried
