Let’s pause on all of the holiday recipes that are taking up your feed for a moment. I mean, I love them, don’t get me wrong, but it also makes me feel like a need a salad. And not a simple little salad- a hearty, flavour-packed salad like this one.

Homer Simpson said “you don’t make friends with salad” but Homer Simpson never had this salad. Autumn Cobb Salad with roasted squash, maple balsamic baked chicken, toasted pepitas, avocado, cherry tomatoes and of course bacon, all topped with a dairy free, creamy hemp dressing.

Sound good?

Let’s give it a go.

Soup season is in full force over here. I can’t help it. It heals the soul. A big ol’ bowl of warming soup for all your worries.

So if you don’t mind I’ll be eating my feelings with this Chipotle Vegetable Soup filled with cauliflower, sweet potato, a warming chipotle broth and topped with avocado. Avocado is the ultimate soup topping. I don’t know who first decided to put avocado on soup but I. AM. A. FAN.

If you too, want to eat avocado on soup then read on friend.

Cobblers are officially my new thing.

And savoury cobblers are my newer new thing and basically what I am planning on eating ALL. WINTER. LONG.

Can you blame me with the creamy cooked winter vegetables and doughy biscuits? This is what my comfort food dreams are made of! (even if they are vegan and paleo comfort food dreams!)

Are you ready to give this Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Cobbler a go?

Have you eaten your fair share of delicata squash this season yet?  If not, you are missing out.  Easily one of my favourite squash out there (pssshh… who needs butternut?!) because it’s quick and easy to prepare, really sweet and flavourful, uses minimal seasoning (just thrown some salt and pepper on there) and you can even eat the skin! Obviously, I needed to make a recipe using delicata squash for my favourite meal of the day.

My favourite meal of the day in order:

  1. breakfast
  2. breakfast
  3. breakfast
  4. breakfast for dinner.

And this my friends, is where Roasted Delicata Squash with Eggs comes in!

GOOOOD MOOORNING interweb friends.

Let me introduce you to the best type of food. BREAKFAST FOOD.

Breakfast food, meet interweb friends. Interweb friends, meet breakfast food.

The reason breakfast food is so good is because you can have it for breakfast(duh), for lunch (three cheers for brunch!) or for dinner(who doesn’t love pancakes for dinner?!).

My favourite breakfast foods involve eggs. I like to dream up different ways to eat eggs and recently, I have been eating this Thai inspired sweet potato breakfast bake that is of course, Whole30 complaint.  Sound delicious? Because it is!
