After weeks (!) of trying to create the perfect vegan tempeh meatballs recipe, I can say that my taste buds are finally satisfied! These "no meatballs" are made with tempeh, which is fermented soy beans (while tofu is not). The whole process of fermentation increases the digestibility and the nutrient absorption of soy.
Read MoreSoaking ingredients for the next morning has now become a part of our family night routine, just like brushing our teeth or feeding the cats. Chia pudding and overnight oats takes 2 minutes to prepare. You can make a big jar of both and enjoy them 3-4 days later! These are two simple recipes that you can adapt to fit your taste.
Read MoreLook at that color ! When you see color, you see nutrients. This beet n' blueberry smoothie is delicious, fresh and filled with proteins (hemp!). It is also loaded with fibres, antioxydants and is a great booster for the immune system, since the main ingredients are kale, blueberries and beets. The fresh mint really helps to balance the "earthy taste" of the beets and kale and is so refreshing. Don't be afraid of using frozen blueberries in drinks if they aren't in season. Serve this smoothie with coconut whipped cream (see tutorial here) and I promise you'll be delighted !
Read MoreNovember has arrived... I am wondering where the heck October went? I can't believe how time flies! Today, I'm sharing my Autumn Harvest Bowl recipe. The weather may not be as cold as I'm used to for this time of the year, but the mornings and nights are getting quite "chilly" and you can see more and more fall vegetables at the farmer's market.
Read MoreWho else is feelin' the Halloween vibe? We do (even if we celebrated the indian Diwali this week at my husband's job!). When your son asks you to carve a "Puss in boots" pumpkin... you have no other choice but to feel the vibe ! 3 hours of carving in total! But at the end, it was totally worth it and our own little knight and ladybug were so happy!
Read MoreThese pumpkin pie squares are the BEST. My son and I ate the whole pan in 2 days. I just couldn't stop ! But it's not a problem since the number one thing I had in mind when I created these squares was that I wanted to make a pumpkin pie that would be healthy enough to be eaten as a dessert as well as a snack or breakfast. And I am proud to say that they are ! The crust is made from pecans and oats and the pumpkin pie puree is sweetened with dates instead of sugar like the traditional version. I would describe this recipe as a mix between a date square and a pumpkin pie. To make this dessert even more perfect, I served it with coconut whipped cream and topped with chopped pecans.
Read MoreThis vegan pasta dish is creamy, healthy and refreshing! My special Alfredo sauce is made from pureed cauliflower instead of the heavy cream, so it's entirely dairy-free and lighter than the traditional version.
Read MoreThere's no "typical" breakfast for us. Sometimes it can be a bowl of homemade granola with coconut yogurt topped with fruits. Other times it can be having pancakes or crepes with nut butter, maple syrup or blackstrap molasses and fruits. I have to say my husband also makes the best omelettes in the Universe! Other than that, one of the things we especially love to eat before starting our busy days is either an overnight oat bowl, a chia pudding or porridge. I have a few porridge recipes, but this one is (so far!) the entire family's favorite.
Read MoreFall is probably my favorite time of the year ! We already stopped by 2 or 3 different pumpkin patches to get a couple of organic pumpkins. Halloween is coming soon and Noah’s getting pretty excited! I’m kind of getting enthusiastic too since we can see pumpkin goodies everywhere : pumpkin lattes, pies and even some pumpkin curry! We can find pumpkin desserts everywhere !
Read MoreA real cultural marker, poutine is Quebec's "embarrassing but adored" junk food. It consists of french fries and squeaky cheese curds topped with warm gravy. Since I'm not a fan of the greasy and "mushy" version, I make my own healthy vegan poutine to satisfy my "comfort food" cravings. I use oven baked fries and tofu instead of cheese curds. My homemade "gravy" sauce is made from healthy ingredients and is completely vegan.
