Roasted Strawberry and Peanut Butter Popsicles (vegan & paleo option)

Did somebody say PB&J popsicles? Because if so, here they are and the are DARN GOOD. Roasted Strawberry and Peanut Butter Popsicles for the win!

Roasted strawberries combined with coconut milk and maple syrup make a creamy base while the peanut butter swirl (or almond butter for a paleo version) is the perfect twist in these popsicles. The flavour is refreshing but still satisfying and filling. It’s vegan friendly and can easily be made paleo.

Let’s make some popsicles!

Slice and Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies (paleo & vegan)

Soft baked paleo & vegan slice and bake chocolate chip cookies. They are tender and chewy just out of the oven and develop the perfect outer crisp as they cool.  This recipe contains no raw eggs so the cookie dough can be eaten straight from the roll in a Buddy the Elf “eat a whole roll of tollhouse cookie dough” kinda way (which these days sometimes feels necessary). Slice them and bake them or slice them and don’t bake them (!), you decide!

Are you ready to give them a go?

Do you want a super easy, delicious soup that is perfect for snowy weather?

You have come to the right place!  Enter, Leek and Sweet Potato Soup. It is a soothing blend of leeks, onions, garlic and sweet potato and is whole30, paleo and vegan friendly.  Perfect to take to work in a thermos for lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.

SOUP you say! Didn’t I just post a soup recipe? Well, it was a stew actually but yes.  I hadn’t planned on making this recipe until I signed up for The Little Plantation‘s Food Photography Contest.  The first task was to take photos of onions and leeks (or something made from onions and leeks) and of course, being up for the challenge I made this recipe.  It was so easy and I loved it so much I decided to share it here!

Tomato Jam (Paleo, Whole30 and Vegan)

Tomato Jam Tomato Jam

Tomato Jam is a thing.  And currently, it is MY thing because I can’t stop making it.

It’s a sweet and tangy jam with some warming spices like ginger and cinnamon as well as cumin to keep it balanced.  Usually, sweetened with tons of sugar, I used dates instead.

You can put this stuff on basically everything.  Egg? Jam. Salad? Jam. Vegetables? Jam. Meat? Jam. You get the idea.  It goes really well with your favourite cheese as well as avocado toast.  Huzzah!

Are you ready to give it a go?

Whole 30 friends where are you at? 

If you are missing all of the treats and desserts during your whole30 stint like I am (I am missing this and this and this and this and this) then maybe creamy sauces and dips are your answer.  So stop scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest looking at all the desserts you could be eating and make this Thai Almond Butter Sauce.  It’s good.  And I mean REALLY good. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy and takes 10 minutes to make.
