My last blog post was all about what I think makes for a healthy lifestyle and of course number 2 on that list behind sleep, was good nutrition.
Easier said than done, I know!
For this post, I want to highlight the tools in the kitchen that make life easier and help me prep meals faster. Please feel free to share what are your go to tools!
Without further adieu, here are my 5 Must haves and 4 Really, Really Helpful gadgets:
I feel life is too short to not eat good food, and for me I like dessert, a lot! But, it is important to eat well. Here is a Pear & Almond Cake that is easy to whip up and that is pretty healthy!
It is based on one of my clients favourite cakes, The Wacky Cake, thanks for introducing me Theresa!! I of course made it my own.
This is an adaptable cake recipe, the original one was a chocolate cake. Add in your own flare or spices or fruit. I hope you like it!
I want to introduce you to an ancient grain that has been around for thousands of years but you don’t seem to hear much about. Farro. This wheat grain originates from Mesopotamia and it refers to not just one type of grain but 3, Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt, the names are interchangeable and can be used in different countries or regions.
All Farro is wheat so it does contain some gluten and may not be suitable for those how are sensitive or have an allergy to wheat or gluten. However, soaking it overnight and sprouting it can make it easier for digestion.
Before Farro is cooked it looks like a wheat berries and after it looks like barely. The texture is chewy and the flavour is nutty. Farro works well in both savoury dishes like soups, stews, salads as well as porridge.
I have a sweet tooth so I am always on the look out for healthy and delicious sweets. I have a recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth but not compromise your health, in fact it is pretty healthy!
Now that it is fall, we must put pumpkin into everything! And why would Millionaires Bars be any different?
I won’t ramble on and on about what’s in them but know they contain no refined sugar or flour and are packed with fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy fat…but not too much!
A Quick Strawberry Salsa
Rough chop strawberries and combine with finely diced red onion, cilantro, Jalapeño (to taste), lime juice and some lime zest, salt and pepper.
Use on top of grilled fish, on tacos, tortilla chips or grilled vegetables.
