It's finally fall, which is officially my favourite time of the year! The leaves are changing and that cool fall weather that I love so much has arrived. In celebration of a season that’s full of beautiful hikes, pumpkin-spiced every and comfy sweaters I'm share my favourite hearty fall soup recipe.  There's nothing I enjoy more in the fall than curling up on the couch with a good book, a glass of red wine and a mug full of this delicious coconut curry soup. Enjoy: PrintCoconut Curry Soup Recipe This coconut curry soup is one of my fall meal planning staples.…

I created this keto chocolate chip peanut butter cookie recipe on a rainy Monday night - these low carb cookies are the food equivalent of a warm hug on a cold and gloomy day. Peanut butter cookies are my ultimate comfort food, and this delicious version also happens to be guilt-free since they don't contain any eggs, sugar, dairy or gluten and are even keto-friendly for those on low carb diets. I made a batch earlier this week and we've been eating these daily for breakfast (I may or may not haven eaten on in the bubble bath last night…

One of my favourite things we ate in Portugal (aside from my daily salt cod fritter) was a huge bowl of the freshest clams I've ever tasted cooked with garlic, lemon, cilantro and vinho verde (aka Bulhão Pato clams). This is yet another recipe inspired by our visit to chef Esteve's flat in Lisbon. He created a very similar dish for us and we've been obsessed with recreating it at home as often as possible, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This bowl of clams was not merely delicious, it was also life changing, since it made…

Summertime brings us some of the best and most beautiful ingredients that mother nature has to offer. Fresh berries are my go-to summertime dessert; sweet and juicy all on their own. While I typically serve them up au naturel, I've recently been experimenting with quick and easy ways to turn the humble berry into an elegant dessert to serve at our frequent summertime dinner parties. This new recipe was inspired by my recent trip to Portugal where my husband and I took a cooking class with EatWith, a website that hooks you up with local food experiences while travelling abroad…

Lately, I've been experimenting with a new way of eating that incorporates a ton of healthy fats into my daily diet. While not a strict ketogenic diet, my fat-first approach to eating has made a huge difference in how I look and feel. My energy is improved, my skin is healthier and I'm even seeing positive changes to body composition; all without restricting calories. Healthy fats help you build hormones and they even help your body to better absorb and utilize critical vitamins and nutrients. Fat is also wonderfully satiating and balances your blood sugar levels to help reduce unhealthy…

I whipped up this keto / paleo scone recipe earlier today for a Mother's day brunch and they were an absolute hit (my gluten-loving cousins even gobbled them up). My lovely mother is currently on a ketogenic diet and I had to get creative in the kitchen in order to come up with a sugar-free, dairy-free and low carbohydrate treat for her to enjoy.  This scone recipe is truly delicious, and made with low carb almond flour and coconut flour. They're perfect for a mother's day brunch, but would work well for breakfast served with a dollop of coconut butter.…

I created this Gut-Healing Gummies recipe for a patient who wanted an easy and convenient way to take her daily supplements. These tasty little treats are fabulous for digestive health since they contain three of my favourite gut-healing supplements. The following functional foods are an important part of any gut-healing protocol because they help to repair leaky gut and feed the good bacteria in your intestinal tract: Gelatin: Gelatin makes up almost a third of all of the protein in our bodies, and a dietary deficiency of this key nutrient can wreak havoc on your gastrointestinal system. Gelatin, which comes from animal bones,…

I love a bowl of creamy soup on a cold winter day but I often have a hard time finding recipes that don't include heavy cream or milk (I stay away from dairy for the sake of my skin). After many lacklustre attempts I finally nailed this recipe for potato leek soup using coconut milk instead of cream. This version isn't vegan since it still contains bone broth (another one of my tricks for glowing skin), but is completely dairy-free and full of flavour. We make a big batch of this almost every week and it's become my favourite warming winter-time…

Cold winds and dry indoor heating wreak havoc on the skin, causing it to become lack lustre and dry. While an excellent natural moisturizer most definitely helps, it can only take your skin so far. When it comes to achieving clear and beautiful skin, the real work begins on the inside. Lucky for me, my weekly bone broth habit supports my skin just as much as it benefits my digestive and immune system. Bone broth is one of my favourite winter go-to's because it's an excellent source of collagen, which helps to maintain skin elasticity and prevent wrinkles. Studies show that…
