Made in Vancouver recipes, using seasonal and local products
I partnered up with Flora and Vista Magazine to create a nutritional elderberry vegan fruit dip that’s loaded with vitamins and helps relieve cold and flu symptoms. It’s also organic, so if you have a toddler that is a dip junkie like mine – I recommend trying this dish right now.
Ingredients
1 small can of coconut cream
4 heaping scoops of Flora Elderberry Crystals
Mix and serve with your favorite fruit. Toddler approved.
January brings the start of two things I look forward too – 1. Red Carpet Fashion and Award Season, and 2. Super Bowl Party Entertaining. Yes darlings I know – the Super Bowl is in February, but really the food and party planning comes a few weeks before.
Today I’m sharing Pulled Jackfruit Sliders with a Sweet and Spicy Slaw, Avocado Roses and Oven Roasted Cauliflower Flings, but let’s start with a little pick-me-up salad that will have you feeling fresh inside and out.
I’ll be here over the next few weeks posting my easy go-to recipes for those needing fun, festive items to bring to a holiday potluck. Let me introduce you to this easy, crowd pleasing, Christmas inspired brie.
Doesn’t that sound ah-mazing! Well, I was actually worried about creating this recipe. Why? Because I have never cooked tofu in my life. I know, I know, I’ve been a Flexitarian since age 12, and somehow I have consumed and prepared endless amounts of protein that didn’t include tofu. Well darlings, I joined the tofu club and this my friends is an easy game changer.
Literally my mind just went in an ooey gooey nachos frenzy when a friend on Facebook told me it’s National Nacho Day. How did I not know this?! And then I reminded myself that I haven’t had nachos in basically a week and it was definitely overdue. Plus, nachos can be nutritional when you load them up with toppings rich in fiber and vitamins. So tonight darlings, skip that meal prep you planned and celebrate your love of nachos.
In honor of National Nacho Day, I’m sharing one of my favorite nutritional nacho recipes which I modified from Half Baked Harvest.
