After searching high and low for a “healthy” cookie that didn’t contain any gluten or added sugar, I’ve come to realize they are few and far between. And when you do find some, they taste like cardboard or cost you a fortune. So what’s a mom to do? Put on your fanciest apron and start baking!!!
Having a hard time getting your kids to eat their vegetables? Not anymore! This simple and delicious coleslaw will even have Lachanophobians wanting more.
Thank you President’s Choice for making my life so much easier! Need some veggies in a hurry? No washing, no chopping, no fuss. Just open up a bag of PC’s Fresh Cut Washed Slaw, mix with your favourite dressing and “Bob’s your uncle”!
Do you know where that phrase came from? You do now.
I dare you to compare this Soy Free plant based mayonnaise by Earth Island to your regular mayonnaise. Ok, maybe if you just had the mayo on its own you would notice the difference, but not if it’s on something.
This vegan mayonnaise can be used in any recipe as a substitute for regular mayo. It is just as thick and creamy as regular mayo and it has a nice tang to it too.
My 2.5 year old loves it and asks for more “sauce”. He certainly comes by it naturally because his daddy loves his sauces!
Go on, try it. I double dog dare you!
What first came to mind when you saw this mouthwatering dish? I bet it wasn’t “Oh, this must be vegan/vegetarian!” These manly mushrooms will satisfy even the biggest steak-lovers cravings. The mouthfeel is just like a piece of steak and the marinade puts it over the top. Trust me, if you want to add a vegan/vegetarian meal to your weekly menu rotation, this is the quickest and tastiest.
One important thing to note in this recipe is to buy organic mushrooms! Actually every ingredient in all of my recipes are intended to be organic, so, for the best results buy organic. Yes it is expensive, but can you put a price tag on your health?
I would give anything to go back in time and eat healthier if it meant not getting Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I don’t mean to be preachy, just trust me on this one. Anyway, here’s what Mercola.com had to say about the benefits and cautions of eating mushrooms. (I can just see some of you smirking right now)
If you have gluten or soy restrictions/allergies then this is a great soya sauce substitute. Coconut aminos can be used as a direct soya sauce substitute; it can be used in marinades, salad dressings, in soup bases, etc.
The brand I use is Coco Natura Coconut Marinade and buy it at Healthy Planet! Oh and btw, I highly recommend shopping at Healthy Planet because their prices are sooooooo much cheaper than the other health food stores that I frequent in Toronto.
Happy shopping!
Being gluten & dairy free certainly makes life A LOT more difficult when it comes to meal time. If you aren’t prepared or don’t have a lot of time on your hands meal planning can be really stressful. When you are a busy parent, its hard to find the time to look up new recipes that actually taste good and aren’t complicated and time consuming. Here’s a fairly quick family friendly meal that kids and parents will love. You can add any veggies you like. Next time, I might also add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and baby spinach and will update the post it it turns out.
Here is a really quick and easy recipe for some healthy, super tasty jam. It’s great for the whole family.
