This recipe is adapted from the Gluten-Free Banana Muffin recipe at Glutenfreebaking.com. I adapted it to reduce the sugar and omit the dairy and egg. Ingredients 3 medium, ripe bananas 1/4 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled 1/3 cup cranberry sauce …
This recipe is based on Kind Earth’s Thai Coconut Curry with Kaffir Lime Leaves. I didn’t have fresh spinach or basil so just left them out. I also increased the ginger and left over cooked chicken. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups water 10 kaffir lime leaves …
This recipe is adapted from Sweet as Honey’s Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies (Merci Carine!). I used coconut sugar instead of eryhritol (I have no idea what that is but the name is super unappealing) and I added 1/2 tsp of almond extract because I find it brings out the peanut flavour. You need to double cool these (on the baking sheet and then again on a rack) before eating them to allow them to crisp up. These are just amazing. They have a deep peanut flavour and I warn you now, they are addictive.
I started out to make the Raspberry Crumble Bars from Sweet as Honey (thanks Carine!). I didn’t get further than making the raspberry chia jam because WOW was it good, and I ended up eating half of it (whoops). I still plan to make the …
This sh*t is bananas. B.A.N.A.N.A.S. and actually a very good recipe. I have a favourite one-bowl banana bread recipe that is not gluten free (or vegan) but there was really no reason it could not be, so…I converted it and this is the result. This …
Moroccan lamb sausage (courtesy of Market Meats) and fennel are the stars of this easy peasy sheet pan dinner. Chop up some onions, carrots and squash some garlic and boom, yum. You can make this with any vegetables you have on hand; just make sure they are chopped roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
Zucchini noodles (or zoodles) are easy to pull off, if you own a spiralizer. This recipe is based on the Spiralized Zucchini Noodles with Lemon and Caper Butter from Umami Girl (Hey Grrrrl, thanks). It was easy and tasted fabulous. I can see it being …
Like many of you, I’m trying to eat less meat and more veg. This Sweet ‘n Spicy Stir Fry Sauce is helping. It’s an adapted version of the Maple Ginger Stir Fry Sauce from Denise at Sweet Peas and Saffron. The link includes seven easy …
These Apricot Cranberry Energy Bars are inspired by the Apricot Chia Bars on Cupcakes and Kale Chips. I used sayer dates and added cranberries instead of the white chocolate (not a fan, it’s NOT chocolate!)
1Vancouver seems to be in Covid-19 pandemic mode so I thought I’d start making some meals for the freezer. First up is ham and split pea soup. This is an easy soup that is hearty, tasty, and goes a long way. It also freezes well …
