QUINOA PORRIDGE BREAKFAST BOWL w/ Caramel Jam and Cashew Butter
Its time to give oatmeal a break. As much as we may love this proverbial breakfast grain, too much of anything still comes in as ‘too much. In comes quinoa flakes – it cooks up in minutes and has all the creamy comfort of oatmeal with no gluten issues. Next - the magic... if you are like me, the toppings that make this breakfast bowl shine and the caramel date jam and cashew-almond butter along with cacao nibs and nutmeg are keepers in your kitchen.

BEST EVER MORNING MAGIC MUESLI BOWL
I absolutely love this breakfast.
It’s not a go-to yet, every time I make it I wonder why I don’t do so more often. It’s really easy to prepare and can be mega batch prepped if you like. A few suggestions I like to make…
First be sure to choose raw, unsweetened, ingredients and unsweetened non-dairy milk and yogurt. (Organic if possible) Organic apples are a must according to EWG’s Dirty Dozen.
Next, use lots of ginger and a generous squeeze of lemon juice for it really makes the flavor pop and sing!

MAPLE ORANGE NUT BREAKFAST BOWL
Another breakfast gem cooked slowly over low heat, stirred occasionally with additional water as needed. It has a thick and creamy risotto texture. My approach is to get the oats/grains on early (often I soak overnight), and once bringing them to a boil I reduce the heat to very low, partially cover with a lid and leave for 10 – 20 mins while I shower, prep ingredients etc.
Its really so easy.

OVER NIGHT DOUBLE APPLE WALNUT OATS
Each time I make this I find myself longing for more because it’s just that good. The secret to this recipe is the combo of organic apple juice or cider and great non-dairy milk (I have come back to Edensoy and just love it for the best quality, non-chalky non-dairy milk I’ve tasted next to home-made).
Make enough of these jars to ensure you can enjoy it a few times this week. It’ll keep well for about five days and is very family and office friendly so be sure to label your stash just in case someone claims it for themselves

Inspired by Minimalist Baker and revised or ‘teri-o-rized’!
While many gravitate to pancakes for breakfast it’s not a common go-to for me however these coconut pancakes along with the Buckwheat Banana and Sunbutter pancakes have won me over.

CHEESY TOFU SCRAMBLE w/ STEAMED LEAFY GREENS
Breakfast scrambles are a popular go-to choice for so many looking for a protein rich, warm and savory breakfast. So many of my clients looking to make the shift to eating more plant-based find this recipe to be a perfect substitute for eggs. When discovering eggs are a top food allergen for some they immediately ask for a substitute and this is it. Like most scrambles pretty much anything goes. The key is to season your scramble. Tofu is a very plain base protein and it needs to be infused with flavor so choose seasonings you like such as those below. Other great pairs are oregano, marjoram, basil, paprika, etc. Change it up as you wish and make this scramble often using extras for wraps, salad toppings and tacos, etc.

BREAKFAST TORTE - tahini, molasses, cacao, and cinnamon crunch
There is a familiar, ‘Oh Henry’ bar memory that comes to mind with this thick, syrupy combo of tahini and molasses paired together over a toasted Ezekiel English Muffin and smothered in an avalanche sized snow storm of sesame seeds or cacao nibs and cinnamon. Can you tell I am just a little crazy over this combo! My body seems to crave it when the temps are cooler, and my innate wisdom is in need of a healthy serving of iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium.

A great breakfast is said to set the foundation to your day so be sure you choose something that truly satisfies your taste-buds, satiates your hunger and nourishes your body. Of course, cereal is a proverbial go-to yet most store-bought, boxed cereals barely qualify as being ‘real’ food.

You are sure to love this DIY granola and it is so easy you can get the kids to make it for you.

CHOCOLATE CHIA PARFAIT w/ SALMON BERRIES
OH THIS CREATION! I was on Vancouver Island, BC visiting cousins and foraging for berries on their 18 acres of heaven when I discovered these fabulous berries. Maybe they are in my neck of Canada yet I had never seen or tasted them so this was exciting - a new discovery I foraged myself, wow! Coveting them as I picked,I knew they would become a fun new recipe and that is just what this is.
Sure you can sub with other berries of course yet if you have access to salmon berries enjoy them for their unique sweet and tart taste as well as the melange of shades of orange and red. So pretty!

NUTTY AND SEEDY BREAD
It started as a love affair that began in a local coffee shop called Bridgehead. I fell fast and hard and announced this love affair with abandon. Not at first however because I just wasn’t sure I wanted to share for often some locales were sold out. Then Covid hit and changed everything. Suddenly these loaves made a complete disappearance! Gone without a trace. What was I to do? I mean, who can live without such complete, exceptional love? My only option in my view was to get creative and make my own loaves. So I did!

SAVORY STEEL CUT RIS-OAT-O BOWL
Oh my ode to slow cooked oats! I just adore this belly hugging, ever so perfect comfort food and the endless creative and artist play you can have with it. This recipe makes a big batch so do reduce it if you're not cooking for a few or planning to enjoy it all week. If you are then you are good to go. Vary up your toppings each time you enjoy it.
I find when making it with tahini it has a mac and cheese taste and giving it an Italian spin I love it with cashew butter, sun-dried tomatoes, herb infused olive oil, avocado and toasted pine nuts. A drizzle of basil infused olive oil is so yummy too. No rules here, let your taste-buds decide.

CREAMY LEMON BERRY PARFAIT
A dairy free yogurt alternative!
Greek yogurt!! Most believe it’s a truly healthy food choice unaware of the potential health challenges related to dairy consumption such as: digestive challenges, allergies, inflammation, skin disorders, heart disease and cancer.
Not sure if you react to dairy? I have clients take all forms of dairy out for a week or two then re-introduce it as normally consumed. Give this a test run yourself and you'll soon know if you react this it.
For a delicious Non-Dairy (vegan) alternative that assists with hormonal balance, blend up a batch of this protein-rich, anti-inflammatory creamy mousse.

This is a fabulous tasting, easy to make, replacement for any dairy based sweet crème such as yogurt, whipped crème or pudding.
Bonus: It had great alkalizing and anti-inflammatory effects. I love thick and creamy creations like mousse, cheesecake, yogurt, etc yet avoid dairy so needed to create alternatives. A high speed blender is best to use yet not essential. While the texture won't be as creamy, the taste is still delish.

Comfort food at its best! What is it about big, creamy bowls of foods reminiscent of childhood that take us back in time with just the thought of them? Like Mac and Cheese or Oatmeal. The later was a familiar food in my home growing up in Winnipeg, MB yet then we knew it as porridge. Besides being an oh-so-needed warming sustenance for our short, albeit freezing cold walk to school in Winnipeg`s long winters, it was fast, easy and affordable for a family of 8 on one, so-so salary.

GREEN VELVET SPICE SMOOTHIE
There are some days when smooth comforting foods are an absolute necessity and at these times, frosty cool, velvety and creamy blends are my must-make. While smoothies are most often on the menu to start my day it’s a combo like this that delivers the sense of a long held hug. What makes it so?
A really long blast in the blender with extra ice so it stays cold yet is truly the texture of liquid velvet. Once you taste test this for yourself I am confident you’ll know what I mean and may want it two days in a row. Just garnish it different on day two.
