I must admit I don't like Brussel sprouts that much. Every year I create a new brussel sprout recipe hoping that one day I will start to like the little green cabbages. Well, this is the first year I finally came up with a recipe that I love! Yes, it took me only how many years? Too many! In this recipe, I added apples, walnuts, cranberries, nutmeg, fresh lemon juice and sweetened them with maple syrup. Wow, they are amazing! When I was testing the recipe, I could not stop eating the little cabbages. In this recipe, the Brussel sprouts are lightly caramelized, and by adding cranberries and apples, I added slight tart flavour. Finishing with walnuts, adding texture and earthy flavour. If you are like me and aren't crazy about Brussel sprouts, you should try this recipe, who knows you may change your mind as I did. If nothing else, eat just the apples, walnuts and cranberries and leave the tiny cabbages for others to enjoy!

Today it's all about fast and easy gluten-free pasta recipe. I believe that Monday is a good pasta night. This ridiculously easy recipe is all about fresh parsley, black beans, fresh tomatoes and lots of garlic with olive oil all tossed with gluten-free pasta. Nothing is complicated in this recipe but put everything together, and you have a pretty amazing Italian meal. This is a vegan pasta recipe, but feel free to add some shredded leftover chicken in the mix or top with loads of grated Parmesan cheese. This is probably the easiest pasta recipe that I have made that is packed with so much goodness and flavour. Feeling adventurous, add gluten-free garlic cheese monkey bread for that ultimate Italian experience On a healthy note, I would like to add that not only does parsley enhance flavour in our food and is used for presentation, but it is also high in vitamin C, A, K and iron, all of which promote good health.

I simply love a great breakfast or brunch recipe that needs only one pan. This means easy cooking and minimal clean-up, leaving you time for more important things, like relaxing with your family and a good cup of coffee. In this recipe, I included all the things that a hearty breakfast should have, sausages, eggs, potatoes, beans and cheese, YUM! I love to add some greens or fresh tomatoes to complete this delicious breakfast but feel free to add some gluten-free crusty bread. If you have any leftovers, chop them up and add to a green salad for lunch

I am so excited about this gluten-free vegan apple pie bread, just in time to make this weekend. The moist bread tastes like an apple pie. Honestly, it is so delicious. Packed with apples throughout and flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. For me anything with apples and cinnamon is amazing! It is the end of a busy week and time for something special for my family this weekend. The recipe is super easy to put together, and the bread toasts beautifully. For me, I love it just as is with my favourite herbal tea. Did I mention the kids love it too! After all, the combination of apples and cinnamon is hard to resist. Have a happy, healthy weekend and don't forget to visit our New Store

Without some type of pumpkin there just wouldn't be Thanksgiving. For this Thanksgiving dinner, I wanted to make more than just a pumpkin pie, so I thought why not combine chocolate and pumpkin. This heavenly gluten-free chocolate pumpkin dessert came out so good! Honestly, it is the best dessert I made in a very long time, especially since I was using pumpkin as the base ingredient. I made gluten-free graham base from scratch, added a layer of heavenly chocolate pumpkin cake, and I topped it with chocolate ganache, need I say more? It may look complicated, but it is effortless to make. Total prep time for all 3 layers is under 20 minutes. Give it a try this year, I promise you won't disappoint your family or friends. 

How wonderful to have this treat on Thanksgiving morning. Warm, buttery, sticky pumpkin spice buns, they are so good straight from the oven. The aroma in the kitchen while they are baking, is intoxicating! There is something about pumpkin spice and sticky buns on Thanksgiving. The buns can be prepared the night before, making this for a leisurely breakfast or brunch, just pop them in the oven in the morning. Holidays are about memories, and these gluten-free sticky pumpkin spice buns will be one of them

The beautiful thing about this salad is the variety of textures, sweet and savoury flavours and the bold fall colours. In this salad, the warm roasted vegetables, fresh baby spinach and sticky pecans are seasoned with tamari ginger vinaigrette making this beautiful salad magically more delicious. I love this salad warm especially during chilly fall months, but it tastes just as delicious cold. This naturally gluten-free fall harvest salad makes a nice addition to a Thanksgiving dinner. 

Warm, doughy, cheesy and garlicky. The ultimate gluten-free garlic cheese bread made from scratch. You will love it I promise! The best part is that it is simple to make. This delicious gluten-free garlic cheese monkey bread is a favourite at our house when I serve it with spaghetti. Or you can enjoy it as a snack with your favourite dip, making this recipe a huge hit during football season!

I combined mushrooms with fresh zucchini, thyme and garlic to make this delicious creamy vegan pasta sauce. It is such a simple recipe, and yet there is so much flavour. The veggie pasta is then baked with a crunchy topping. By adding zucchini to this dish, I cut back on pasta, thus cutting back on few carbs and adding more flavour and nutrition. I believe you can never have enough of simple to make family style gluten-free pasta recipes. This vegan pasta dish has become one of my family's favourites and mine since it takes minutes to make

When I was creating this gluten-free cookie recipe, I wanted to keep it as healthy as possible, by keeping the sugar low and protein high, and still keep the cookie tasting delicious. I combined unsweetened roasted almond butter with butter and used coconut sugar to reduce blood sugar spikes. This oatmeal & almond butter cookie contains less than 3 grams of sugar and approximately 2.5 grams of protein per cookie. I have not added raisins, but if you wish, add 1/2 cup sulphite-free raisins

An indulgent gluten-free dessert for chocolate lovers! The many layers are made up of delicious fudgy brownie, almond butter, quinoa puffs and chocolate. I am very excited about this gluten-free dessert because I am a chocolate lover, and this layered brownie is chocolaty throughout with added goodies such as almond butter, quinoa puffs and more chocolate, yum! I keep my brownies in the refrigerator, but always bring them to room temperature before serving, this way they melt in your mouth. Either way, they are delicious, hope you enjoy them

Inevitably as soon as September rolls around we think of family-style comfort food. A crisp chill in the air and beautiful coloured fallen leaves on the ground remind me of my first days of school. The weather is cooler and after a busy day coming home to a delicious full bowl of chicken stew with dumplings is an excellent way to end the day. The thick sauce with juicy pieces of chicken and fall vegetables are topped with gluten-free fluffy dumplings made with chives. The flavours smouldering in your mouth are unforgettable. Be sure to serve this family-style meal with our delicious gluten-free pull-apart soft rolls. Enjoy!

Here is a delicious recipe that I have been working on this weekend. I always wanted to create gluten-free calzones from scratch that were simple enough for anyone to make. Calzone is an Italian oven-baked folded pizza with various fillings. Because I love mint and have so much of it in my garden, I wanted to create a recipe where I include fresh mint. So I combined a little Moroccan flavour with Italian calzones and came up with this mouthwatering beef and potato recipe. The beautiful part is that you can use any filling like feta and spinach to anything that you would top a pizza with. Calzones are best eaten when fresh, but if you have leftovers, pop them in an oven or toaster to re-heat. For step by step instructions click here ->

We are ending this week with Japanese style take-out vegetable hibachi noodles. Friday just seems like a take-out night. This simple Japanese inspired noodle dish is saucy, salty and a little sweet with thinly sliced veggies throughout. I used traditional soba noodles because they are nutritionally packed and are also high in protein. Did I mention this 20-minute noodle meal is super healthy! Sometimes all we need is just a bowl full of tasty noodles, especially after a busy first week of school

At my house when it comes to holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, rolls are one thing that is a must-have on the dinner table. I will admit it took me a few attempts until I got the recipe just right. Just for a laugh the first batch that I made, the rolls were like hockey pucks…ouch! I also wanted to make the rolls as an easy recipe. No complicated flours, long kneading or waiting for hours for them to rise. Well, here they are soft, light, easy to pull apart and taste just like real wheat rolls. My kitchen this week was like a bakery, I made many batches of rolls but wasn't satisfied until the one I made today. YEY!! I promise these gluten-free pull-apart soft rolls are the best! I have added some fresh rosemary, to add a little flavour and festiveness but it is optional. Another herb I would love to add is thyme, my favourite herb. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think? It took me an entire week to create these stunning rolls. They are best when eaten the same day, but if you happen to have a roll or two left over for the next day, slice them and toast them. They taste absolutely amazing!
