World’s Best Breakfast
My magic oatmeal. It’s so delicious, satisfying, and incredibly filling. It has you start off the day feeling like you’re stuffed with nutrition, and also kind of like you’ve eaten a berry muffin but without the fat and calories. Ingredients: 1 cup water 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 2/3 cup of oats 1-2 tbsp ground flax 1 banana 5 strawberries cinnamon (to sprinkle) 5 walnuts 1 tbsp peanut butter (optional) Directions: Place the oats, flax, milk and water in a pot. Cook it on medium, stirring intermittently, for about 10-15 minutes (you have this time in the morning – how long do you spend doing your hair and makeup? You too, boys!) If you...
Read MoreQuinoa Heaven
The other day, I had Giada’s cooking show on in the gym, and got this idea for a quinoa dish with a bit of an Italian spin. Giada was making a delicious pasta dish, and I decided to add the same spinach effect to a bowl of quinoa. The toppings just happen to be a few of my very favourites. Avocado, sundried tomatoes and pine nuts can make me devour just about anything they’re atop! The dish turned out just as I thought it would. A great texture, lovely fresh flavour and FILLING. Ingredients: 250g uncooked quinoa 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp mascarpone cheese 1 full bag of fresh spinach 2 garlic cloves 6-8 sundried tomatoes 2 tbsp pine nuts 1/2...

The other day, I served dinner to 6 people, including a 2.5 year-old, and not including myself. I was working most of the day so I didn’t have much time to be perched over a stove. I needed the meal to be filling, to be appropriate for a cold day, and to be super easy. Served with a plate of snacks, and with a mixed green salad, it worked! I tossed all the ingredients into a slow cooker and came up with this stew (the recipe is below), which was delicious, not spicy but carried a bit of Indian influence and is only 3 grams/fat per serving! I had some extra chicken, and since the recipe makes 6 servings right on, I knew I needed another quick filling side,...
Read MoreAdam's (Healthy) Delicious and Easy Burrito
I have to admit. Around here I do most of the cooking – I enjoy it. I’m a control freak. The other day I handed over (most of) the job to Adam and this resulting burrito blew my mind. Considering the last item that was cooked for me by this man was pasta with frozen beans and carrots in it (sorry homie), I was really excited about this meal! It took no time at all, was extremely high in fibre, protein, folate and lycopene. You also get benefits of healthy fats from the avocado, and a source of dairy in the yogurt if you choose to include it. This recipe makes 8 servings. Ingredients: 2 Packages of Yves Ground Soy 1 can black beans Onion and garlic to...
