The Christmas holidays have begun and we’ve been

The Christmas holidays have begun and we’ve been baking cookies nonstop. With all the recipes we have, it’s hard to pick a favourite. Here, we round up our all-time favourite cookies, inspired by the holiday season and a perfect side to a cup of coffee or hot cocoa! As always, they are all gluten, dairy, grain and refined sugar free. 🎄Click on the link in bio for all the recipes!

This is our version of cannelloni and it’s freak

This is our version of cannelloni and it’s freakin delicious! We replaced traditional cannelloni tubes with our “rice paper” wraps and we used the filling from our cabbage rolls along with fresh homemade sauce. All these recipes can be found in “Healthy Comforts” cookbook.

We paired our cannelloni with a delicious rosemary focaccia made with @nostalgica_foods grain free, gluten free and nut free pizza dough mix.

There is life after grains and we hope to convince you that your favourite foods aren’t off limits, just reinvented!

One of our favourite fall meals is butternut squas

One of our favourite fall meals is butternut squash soup. It is the ultimate comfort food - it’s nourishing and cosy. For some extra intensity of flavour, you may wish to roast your veggies before adding them to the pot. A perfect meal to have on hand for busy weeknights.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of olive oil
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 apple, stem removed, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
5 cups of chicken stock (we used @naturescanada)
1 tablespoon of Fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft. Add the squash, and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and sweet potato into the pot. Add the salt and pepper.
Add the fresh parsley. Add 5 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
Once the soup is cool slightly, immerse a hand blender into the pot and blend until smooth. Top with dairy-free sour cream, if desired.

Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays - not

Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays - not just because my birthday has always fallen on this holiday weekend (46 this year! 🤪)but thanksgiving is often the time of year that we show thankful appreciation for what we have in our lives. We are grateful not only for our loved ones and food on the table, but we show appreciation for the little things such as good cup of coffee or nurturing tea, a drive in the countryside, a sunny day, a good belly laugh, a warm hug, a cozy scarf, and the changing colours of leaves.

The attitude of gratitude has been around for thousands of years, as it was evident in ancient Rome where Cicero once said, “there is nothing which I can esteem more highly than being and appearing grateful. Gratitude is the greatest of virtues, and the parent of all the others.”

It’s very easy to go through our days unaware of the things that surround us that can be considered blessings. But gratitude is more than just a moment in time where we make a mental list of all that we are thankful for. Gratitude is a lens in which we see the world.

A grateful heart allows the space to feel joy in the simple things we have in life, and focus on the things we do have, rather than what we don’t. Oprah reminds us that when finding what we are thankful for is difficult, start with our physical presence - show gratitude for our breath, our legs that helped us get out of bed, and the use of our hands.

An attitude of gratitude helps us on a physical level too- it lifts our spirits by flooding the brain with serotonin and dopamine - two hormones that make us feel good, which makes us unable to focus on positive and negative information at the same time. It aids in stress regulation and releases toxic emotions, strengths immunity and lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

The best part is that no formal training is required. Reflecting on gratitude and then expressing it starts with a simple ‘thank you’.
