Grass-Fed Butter Dipped Radishes with Lemon Zest
As you can tell by scrolling down my homepage, I’m all about radishes this season. They’re one of my favorite vegetables and end up in almost every entree during the summer months, even if it’s just as garnish to round out my plate. Butter dipped vegetables aren’t exactly...

Honeydew Salad with Watermelon Radish and Citrus-Avocado Dressing
Since posting the recipe for this carrot and cantaloupe salad earlier this spring, I’ve been incessantly experimenting with different melon-vegetable combos. The following recipe was born from all that experimenting and ended up deliciously creamy with the addition of avocados in the dressing! F...

Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl with Avocado and Forbidden Black Rice
Tuna poke bowls seem to be popping up everywhere (at least they are in my city), but if you can get your hands on sushi grade tuna, they’re actually really easy to prepare at home. I get my tuna delivered right to my door through SPUD Delivers — it comes diced and pre-marinated in va...

Garlic and Lemon Zest Fiddlehead Crostini with Cashew Cheese
It’s fiddlehead fern season and although these little bundles of crunchy green goodness are a bit more tedious to prepare than other seasonal veggies, they’re well worth the effort for the few weeks they’re available. Fiddleheads can cause severe indigestion if not prepared properly, so be very ...

Almond and Cucumber Water Face Mask
I was in Vancouver last week for work and despite my best intentions, my skin care regimen went right off the rails. I never seem to take proper care of my skin while I’m travelling. When I got home I decided to treat myself to a hydrating and exfoliating face mask to set things right [R...

Sage Roasted Cornish Hens with Blackberry Molasses Glaze
Cornish hens are the perfect option when you’re craving a whole roasted chicken but don’t want to feed an army! …ok, maybe feeding an army is a bit of a stretch, but it would take me a week to eat a whole roasted chicken to myself. This little organic hen was the perfect size ...

Raw Carrot and Cantaloupe Salad with Arugula and Blood Orange Vinaigrette
Over the last few weeks I’ve been (obsessively) experimenting with the amazing combination of delicate shaved melon and hearty raw vegetables in my salads…I can’t get over the contrasting textures! This round was carrots and cantaloupe, but stay tuned for a few more recipe varia...

Roasted Prosciutto Wrapped Radishes with Citrus-Cilantro Dressing
I’m a pretty big fan of roasted radishes as it is, so I figured wrapping them in shaved prosciutto and drenching them in a citrus marinade couldn’t hurt! If you’re looking for a meat-free option, simply omit the prosciutto all together or wrap the radishes in rice paper bacon be...

Green Smoothie with Blueberries and Almond Milk Pulp
For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to get more creative with my leftover almond milk pulp and found it’s actually a pretty great way to thicken fresh smoothies. Feel free to use fresh pulp (if you have it on hand) or pulp that’s been frozen into cubes, both work great in th...

Pot pie is the comfort food of all comfort foods and although this dish is a bit of a spin on the traditional, it’s still no exception. I love the layering of flavors in this recipe, balanced by the simplicity of main ingredients…every bite is mushroom heaven. The beauty of this dis...

Thai Pomelo Salad with Black Rice and King Crab
I’ve been on a pomelo kick lately and (not surprisingly) they’ve been creeping their way into my breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes. I happened to have leftover king crab on hand to round out this salad, but any type of seafood will work, so feel free to experiment with seared scallo...

Cucumber and Coconut Oil Hydrating Eye Mask
The fluctuating temperatures and persistent dry weather have been killing the sensitive skin on my eyelids, causing (rather annoying) inflammation and flaking. When daily moisturizers still weren’t cutting it, I decided to get serious with an uber hydrating cucumber and coconut oil eye mask. Cuc...
