Chocolate and Cherries. The combo that is often overshadowed by the ever popular chocolate/strawberries or chocolate/banana. But trust me! Don’t overlook this amazing combo, especially in ‘nice’ cream form.
I’m not sure why I haven’t shared this recipe with you before but it is what we make in our household ALL. THE. TIME. It is incredibly easy, uses only four ingredients, is vegan, paleo and refined sugar free and can be thrown together in a pinch. Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream will be your next go to dessert!

LEMONS.
My favourite fruit ever (with avocados coming a close second).
Let me count the ways in which I use lemons:
Hands up if you love sour over sweet like me? Now if only I could grow my own lemon tree here in Toronto…
This Meyer Lemon Curd will have to do. And because I love the combination of citrus and cardamom I added it in (totally optional but if you love cardamom do give it a try). This recipe uses honey as a sweetener and ghee instead of butter so it is not as sweet as the typical curd and definitely has more zing.

Put your hand up if you get sick at least once a winter?
I thought so. I also used to find myself getting sick every winter (siigh) but over the years have learned that reducing my sugar intake, upping my vitamins and trying to get lots of rest helps tremendously. And the for the last two seasons I have taken Wild Muskoka’s Elderberry Syrup and have stayed healthy the WHOLE WINTER. Imagine that. Everyone else is sneezing, coughing and just exhausted and here I am feeling fabulous.
Wild Muskoka Botanicals was kind enough to send me some of their product so I could share with you the magic of elderberries. I created this beautiful warm tonic to sip on throughout the winter with blood orange juice, ginger, lemon and of course, elderberry syrup. It’s the perfect winter elixir to keep you healthy!

If you could only eat one food what would it be?
Mine would definitely be avocados. Guacamole for every meal. YES.
Me and guacamole are true love.
And sometimes, it’s nice to dress my true love up. Like with green apples and jalapeños. Still simple, and yet a little bit extra. This Green Apple Guacamole Guacamole is refreshing, tart and the perfect game time snack!

Paleo gluten free muffins that aren’t a crumbly mess?
The struggle is real. And so is this recipe. Paleo Orange Date muffins that are moist, tender and sweetened only with dates and freshly squeezed orange juice!! Huge win.
I am obsessed with these muffins and have been making them repetitively. You know, I had to make sure they were *perfect* for the blog. Are you ready to give them a go?
Let’s do this!!
