Spaghetti Squash with Pesto, Chickpeas and Vegetables

Weekends call for quick, easy and nourishing lunches. This recipe is a “fridge cleaner”, meaning it’s a great way to use up any vegetables that are nearing the end of their days. The fibre makes it oh-so-filling and the pesto is all it needs for a flavour kick.

Lemon Cranberry Blueberry Muffins

There’s something magical that happens when two flavours are combined: think sweet+salty, hot+sour… and tart+sweet. That’s what makes these muffins special. The tartness of the cranberries is balanced by the sweetness of the blueberries. And the lemon? I dunno, it just makes them perfect.

Whole Grain Banana Flax Waffles

Waffles are a breakfast favourite at my house. I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect waffle recipe. It had to be crispy, golden, fluffy, flavourful, and of course, filled with nutritious ingredients. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t mind an indulgent breakfast from time to time, but since we eat waffles at least once a week, I want them to nourish my kiddos. After trying dozens of different recipes, I decided to figure out my own.
