Everyone can’t get enough of pumpkin spice as soon as Fall rolls around and I’m here to continue spreading that love. This recipe was inspired by a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks, but in loaf form. The cake is dense and moist as I only wanted to use natural sugars in this recipe. The natural…

This was my first go at making homemade popsicles and it turned out so well! It’s an easy way to make a simple snack more fun…

I wanted my meatballs to taste just as amazing but with slight modifications to make them “healthier”. I…
Fresh Spring Rolls are a favourite quick and easy recipe when I want to eat healthy.

I typically prefer to add in more veggies to any recipe whenever I get the chance,…
This recipe is inspired by lasagna, but in reality it is far different from a traditional lasagna. Traditional lasagna has lasagna noodles, ground meat and ricotta cheese. In my attempt to make a healthier version of lasagna, I replaced the noodles with long slices of zucchini; replaced the meat with mushrooms and spinach; and used…
