I first came across a version of this recipe on the Laughing Spatula website. I've made a few changes; this version is how I prefer it. It's gluten-free, full of flavour, and comes together quickly, and has become one of the most requested recipes in my family.  

This batch yields 12 burgers, which...

This past Sunday, I headed out for an early morning walk to beat the heat. The sun was already up, the streets were quiet, and I was about a block from home when I realized… I forgot my AirPods.

For a second, I thought about turning back. I usually walk and listen to a podcast, some music, or somet...

I still remember the first time I made almond milk. It was during my culinary nutrition course in the fall of 2021, which is hard to believe was almost four years ago! Up until then, I’d always picked up the store-bought cartons. They were convenient, for sure. But when I finally tried making it mys...

I saw a quote the other day that really made me pause:

“Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.”

And I thought, “Wow, that’s pretty powerful.”

I’ve been thinking about it ever since, because lately, I’ve been paying more attention to how I spend my time and energy. Not just what I’m doing...

I wanted to share a clip that popped up in my Instagram feed last week. It was from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferriss a few years ago, where Brené shared a simple but powerful check-in that she and her husband, Steve, use in their marriage.

They’ve been together for over 30 years a...

This recipe came together because I had leftover grilled chicken and needed to make it feel like a new meal, rather than a leftover. I had fresh vegetables on hand, cooked some rice, and blended up a quick dressing, which turned into a meal I’d happily eat again.

It’s simple, balanced, and easy to ...

There’s tired… and then there’s tired.

Not the kind a good night’s sleep can fix. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes everything feel just a little heavier. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s like moving through your day in slow motion.

Lately, I’ve been feeling it.

Not completely...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results?

You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to stay consistent.
And yet it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working.

It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And it’s exactly where so many people give up.

I shared this with my email list today and thought I’d post it here too, because honestly, it’s such a simple idea and might be just what you need if your mornings have been feeling a little off lately.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?

Hit snooze? Check your phone? Shuffle into the ki...

Soup season is here, and I'm all about giving classic dishes a bit of a makeover to fit our healthier lifestyles without sacrificing flavour. Today, I'm excited to share my twist on the traditional Portuguese Caldo Verde soup, substituting potatoes with cauliflower for a lighter yet equally satisfyi...

How often do you hear someone say, "I'm busy," when asked how they're doing? I've been reflecting on what being "busy" truly signifies. Does it mean, "I don't have time to chat right now," or "I'm too swamped for anything"? "I'm soooo busy" has become a modern mantra, almost an automatic response, a...
