Real Food for Happy Bellies
Remember I told you I had an AH-mazing sweet and spicy pecans recipe coming your way? Well, it's a week late thanks to the worst cold season ever, but it's here!! Ever since I whipped up a batch of that Sweet and Smokey Spice Rub, I have been using it on absolutely everything (seriously, I put some in a gnocchi dish tonight and it really took the ...
Spend some time in the kitchen with the whole family and put together this delicate yet comforting Spinach, Mushroom and Ricotta Cheese Manicotti Skillet. The kids will have a blast stuffing the shells (although if they are anything like mine, prepare for some mess)! …
This Sweet and Smokey Spice Rub is a real game changer in the kitchen. It is super quick and easy to put together, but can be used for SOOO many different dishes. I have been rubbing it on ribs, marinating chicken breasts with it, sprinkling it on breakfast potatoes, and even making the most delicious…
This quick and easy One Pan Creamy Garlic Chicken with Potatoes and Garden Herbs recipe is taken from plain to phenomenal with brown butter caramelized chicken breasts (or thighs if that’s your preference) and charred potatoes. Thank you to Green Valley Organics for helping me to share this recipe with you. I don’t know if it has been colder…
We are far enough away from the Holidays that I am allowed to start creating chocolatey goodies like these Dark Chocolate, Matcha and Coconut Truffles again, aren’t we? So glad to hear it!

You just have to add this Pressure Cooker Whole Chicken recipe to your weekly repertoire. Seriously! Whip it up on a Sunday night and you can make any number of meals during the week – think chicken soup, chicken pasta, enchiladas, burritos….whatever your little heart desires. Plus if you hang onto the bones you can…
I have been spending the past couple of days playing around with a few of my favorite apple spice muffin recipes from years ago. You know the ones, you get them from the store, they are MASSIVE and they taste oh so good….but they are basically little cakes of sugar. The substitutes I have been coming…
I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Dora Stone of Dora’s Table at a food conference last year. Dora’s Table is a vegan Mexican recipe blog which provides delicious, easy and accessible recipes that appeal to the heart and stomach. She also shares my love of a helping people to live and sustain a healthy lifestyle….
There was a time that I felt like I had taken the whole ‘crunchy mom’ thing a bit too far, and new granola recipes were popping up on the blog way too often. Then I had a look today, and it’s been ages since I added a new one. Let’s rectify that right now with…
Let me start by saying that this Turkey and Sweet Potato Chilli is not, in any sense of the word, traditional. I apologize to those purists that enjoy their traditional chilli’s, you will not find what you are looking for here. This post may contain affiliate links. If you click on a link Whole Food Bellies…
I have another delicious smoothie to add to your repertoire with this Chocolate Matcha Smoothie. You can tell it’s January with all the smoothie posts popping up here, there and everywhere. I for one am excited! I love my smoothies and we tend to have one every morning with breakfast. They are such a great…
Are you feeling it too? That need to rectify your Holiday indulgences by swapping out the cookies and hot chocolates for big unique salads loaded with all the good things winter has to offer? I sure am. Being pregnant during cookie Holiday season is just a recipe for disaster (for me at least). I justify everything with…
I have been sculling these Orange and Fresh Cranberry Smoothies like they are going out of season! Well…technically they are, as fresh cranberries seem to disappear once the Holiday season is over…so it’s fitting. A tip: just after the Holidays, cranberries tend to be dirt cheap, so be sure to grab a few bags and pop…
Edited: I just had to re-post this pomegranate, kale and coconut smoothie today! I just harvested a huge haul of winter kale from the garden this morning (covered in ice no less), and whipped up a batch of these bad boys for breakfast, and they are just too good I had to share again 🙂…
I could make a whole meal based around these Potato Biscuits using Leftover Mashed Potatoes! They are such a great and exciting way to give new life to leftover mashed potatoes. Although if you are anything like me, there is no such thing as leftovers when it comes to mashies, and you will have to…
I have had this recipe in my head FOREVER now, and the one day I finally had a chance to get in the kitchen and do some experimenting, I discovered someone (not naming any names….but let’s just say she is married to my brother 🙂 ) had eaten all of my white chocolate and put an empty wrapper…
Move over pumpkin spiced latte, this matcha chai spiced latte is so so perfect for the colder weather, and is packed full of the goodness of matcha green tea. A couple of months back, when I posted my raw matcha coconut fudge, my mum called to ask what exactly matcha was, and why I was using…
This cauliflower mash recipe has yielded the funniest photo shoot I have experienced to date by far. The kids and I had a weekend away at my parents shack to get some beach time in before heading back to winter in the States (brrrr), and as they were completely buggered from a day of building…
I for one love a quick and easy dessert like these Mixed Berry Pastries during the Holiday season. I tend to spend so much time in the kitchen preparing the main meal, that when it comes to the end of the night, when everyone’s belly is full and guests just want to linger at the table…
I have been making this Slow Cooked Minced Pork Ragu recipe for many years now, and I just can’t believe I haven’t popped it on the blog for you guys yet! It was one of the first ‘scary‘ recipes I attempted in my early twenties, and I have to say, it has evolved into something…
This cranberry apple crisp is just bursting with fresh Fall flavors including crispy apples and tart cranberries! Once I get over the initial shock at the sudden change in weather, Fall is definitely my favourite season. It’s a wee bit cold and a wee bit rainy, so you are totally justified in wearing yoga pants and getting…
