Paleo Lemon Cake

Dear cake, thank you.

I have found myself saying this a few times these past few weeks. Can you relate?? There really is something about the comfort of baking- especially when it’s the perfect paleo lemon cake sweetened entirely with maple syrup! Somehow lemon desserts always feel like spring and sunshine and being OUTSIDE! So let’s bring a little of the outside in by making lemon cake and eating it all. Deal?

Let’s do this.

Happy February! With winter in full effect as well as colds, flus and generally an “I’m over this cold weather” feeling I have brought you the simplest recipe today that is warming and also good for you! Hot lemonade. Yes friends, I said HOT LEMONADE. This is my go to warm drink after a long hike or exercise in the winter months.  I find it very hydrating and satisfying AND it can help with those darn sniffles that keep coming back. Are you ready to give it a go?

Spring Lemon and Herb Soup with Sausage and Sweet Potato

Spring Lemon Herb Soup

Spring? Are you there? oh wait, no, it can’t be you. It’s snowing. AGAIN.

Nevertheless, I refuse to let snow stand in the way of me and spring. SPRING VIBES all around with this Lemon and Herb Soup. Made with sweet potato, sausage, rice and loads of fresh herbs you can’t help but feel spring in the air. This soup also makes the perfect transition from those snowy cold, by the fireplace days to the warmer, sunshiny, want to spend all of my time outdoors in my garden days. It’s warming and grounding and yet still light and somehow refreshing.

Are you ready to give it a go?

Cardamom Meyer Lemon Curd (with honey and ghee)

LEMONS.

My favourite fruit ever (with avocados coming a close second).

Let me count the ways in which I use lemons:

  1. Everyday in the morning with warm water and a little pink Himalayan salt.
  2. As salad dressing with a little EVOO and salt (it’s really all you need!)
  3. Over freshly roasted cauliflower and broccoli.
  4. In a tangy lemonade. 
  5. In THIS Cardamom Lemon Curd.

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.

Are you ready to give it a go?

Lemonade anyone? What if I told you there was a lemonade out there that will basically change the way you make lemonade forever?! It’s called Tahitian lemonade and you add full fat coconut milk. Yup, life changing.

I first had Tahitian lemonade in this cute little cafe on the island of Kauai. My first response-

“what is this magical drink?!”

my second response

“I must make this at home, more people need to know about it”

Enter, this recipe with a Sweet Lizzy twist (BLUE MAJIK addition = REAL MAGIC)

are you ready to give it a go? Read on friend.

We sip tea on the daily in this household. On the couch with Netflix or the Toronto Raptors bouncing around in front of us, on the deck in the sweet summer evenings, in the kitchen as we prep, formulate and invent new(or old) recipes/meals and even (gasp!) in bed with a good book.  We don’t drink coffee in our home simply because we can’t be bothered. I am not a fan and if my man wants some he goes to a local cafe where they can make it much better than we can.  So, we stick to tea. (speaking of tea have you checked out my guide to making your own herbal tea blend?)
