This recipe is super simple to toss together and has a huge flavor payoff. The only prep work you have to do is roast your tomatoes and crisp up your falafels either in a frying pan or in the oven. We are spoiled in our neighborhood with healthy (not fried) vegan pre-made falafels available in grocery stores. This saves me time and gives me options for those meals that I have to just toss...
These Vegan Grilled Cheese Sweet Potato Sandwiches are a twist on the classic grilled cheese with a sweet kick. These little sandwiches satisfied my cravings for a greasy delicious grilled cheese sandwich. This recipe is super easy to make, is super filling, has wonderful nutrients in the sweet potatoes and is dairy free. For the cheese I used Daiya shredded cheese but their slices would have...
I am completely addicted to this recipe. I have been making variations of this recipe for years but for the past month it has found its way to my lunch table almost everyday. It hits all the marks for me. The salad is sweet and refreshing. The caesar salad dressing is intense and creamy. The kale is spicy and just like kale chips. And, of course, the fried chickpeas are like buttery croutons....
How is your “day one” of being back in your “normal” routine going? Mine was a bit slow to start but is going well. Remember this week to be kind to yourself. Just take each day one at a time and make loving choices (to read more about how to have a gentle start to this year go here). One way I jumped back into my routine today was to get back into my daily smoothie. I...
I hope you are having a wonderful day today! This article is about vegan supper options but you do not have to be vegan to enjoy them. You can all enjoy as many non-meat meals as you desire! If you choose to eat meat as your protein source you can also use these super simple options but sub out the veggie protein for your protein of choice. I had a couple of emails this week regarding supper...
I have been enjoying this toss-together recipe a lot lately. I am kind of addicted to it. This Zesty “Cheesy” Kale & Crunchy Sriracha Chickpea Bowl is really easy to make, tastes amazing, is filling, crunchy and satisfies my “crunchy, salty, savoury” cravings. Right now I am loving having everyone in the DAMYHealth community doing The 21 Day Vegan Cleanse Challenge. I...
I am still (7 years later) in love with roasted chickpeas. I use roasted chickpeas as a snack, on salads, in soups and on top of roasted vegetables. For me they have replaced popcorn, chips, croutons, you name it. I love mixing up my flavors of roasted chickpeas depending on the mood I’m in. This recipe was inspired by Nova Scotia – the place I was born. I have now lived in three...
Here in Canada we had our Thanksgiving this past weekend. I usually like to make Holidays special and be sure to create all our favorite Holiday Recipes. This year, however, we had just moved homes and offices so I was really tired out. I decided to cut out our creamy whipped cauliflower, faux cheesy broccoli and desserts keeping our meal super simple yet delicious. I always decide between...

I am all about making living a healthy lifestyle as easy as possible. This Caramel Apple Quinoa Breakfast Bowl is a super easy, delicious breakfast option. One thing I do every week to make my life easier (and my husband’s) is make large batches of certain foods to have in the refrigerator for quick-to-grab meals. For example, if I’m making quinoa I make a large batch. I store it in...
