Servings2

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts (~500 grams)

Honey Mustard Dressing

2 Tbsp Dijon or whole grain mustard
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 Tbsp honey
1 clove garlic grated or minced
1/4 tsp unrefined salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F or 200C.
Wash Brussels sprouts, dry them, cut off the bottom stem, and discard any outer or brown leaves then slice in half. If you’re Brussels sprouts are on the larger side, slice them into quarters, so they cook more quickly and evenly.
Add them to a baking sheet, and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, using a spoon to move and flip them around halfway. Smaller ones will cook more quickly than larger ones. They should just be starting to brown on the edges and get golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients.
When Brussels are done, spoon 2 tablespoons of the dressing on top and reserve the rest for another use. Toss well and serve.

Meet your new favorite weeknight dinner: Tomato Basil Cod with Mediterranean Vegetables.

If you love Mediterranean ingredients – like olives, capers, tomatoes, and basil- then you’ll love this dish. Thinly sliced zucchini, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes are nestled into a flavorful tomato sauce spiked with olives and capers, along with succulent pieces of wild-caught cod, that flakes perfectly with a fork. Every bite is infused with flavor.

Personally, I always love adding fresh onions and garlic and dried oregano to store-bought tomato sauce to add both flavor and nutrition, but you could skip that step if you use a good tomato sauce that is already well-flavored.

It’s incredibly easy to make and is a crowd pleaser. I make this for a lot of my dinner parties as it is so easy (and scales up easily – you just need a bigger pan (or two).

If you like, pair it with plain rice, or a lemon basil rice pilaf for a complete meal.

Servings2

Ingredients

Tomato Sauce

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup red onion diced
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 Tbsp capers
2 Tbsp kalamata olives chopped
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1 jar tomato sauce (approximately 20 ounces)
1/4 tsp unrefined salt (real, pink, or Celtic salt) (or more to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper

Cod & Veggies

1 large green zucchini sliced thin
1 cup artichoke hearts (jarred) chopped
1/2 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes sliced in half
2 4 oz wild cod fillet (4-6 oz each)
1/2 lemon sliced thin
1 Tbsp capers
2 Tbsp kalamata olives, pitted chopped

Garnish (optional)

2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Heat a pan over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the oil, then the onions, garlic, capers, olives, and oregano. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until it bubbles, another 3 minutes or so.
Pour half the sauce into an oven-safe baking dish, layer in the sliced zucchini, artichoke hearts, and sliced tomatoes. Toss it well. Then flatten out the veggies and add the cod on top. Pour the remaining sauce over the entire dish. Then top each filet with 2 slices of lemon and sprinkle the remaining capers and olives on top of the whole dish.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork (the time will vary depending on size and thickness of the fish).
Garnish with fresh basil to serve.

If you’re looking for an allergy-friendly sweet-treat full of good-for-you ingredients, try these sunflower butter bars.

Sunflower butter is an allergy-free alternative to nuts while tiger nut flour (made from a root vegetable, not nuts) is a high fiber flour alternative. It has a mild sweetness and incredible prebiotic benefits. What’s more is, this paleo, gluten-free, vegan treat can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes.

Sunflower Butter Bar Ingredients

Here is a breakdown of the health benefits of the main ingredients used to make these sunflower butter bars:

Sunflower Butter: A great alternative for those who are allergic to peanut butter or other nut butter. Sunflower seed butter is a good source of essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. (1)
Tigernut Flour: Tigernut flour is rich in fiber, particularly prebiotic fiber, which helps the good bacteria in your gut flourish. They also may be helpful at keeping blood sugar stable. Both good digestion and balanced blood sugar are keys to clear skin and overall health.
Date syrup: I love using dates as a sweetener, as they are rich in antioxidants and minerals and low glycemic, despite their sweet taste. You could easily use whole, pitted dates in this recipe for added fiber, but since I didn’t have any, and wanted to do it in a bowl without using (and having to wash) my blender, I chose date syrup for this recipe.

1 cup sunflower seed butter (can sub nut butter of choice)

Chocolate Topping

2.5 oz dark chocolate melted
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

First, combine all sunflower butter bar ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir thoroughly to combine. If it is a little dry or crumbly and not holding together like a dough, add more non-dairy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Top with melted chocolate until the batter is fully covered, add flaky sea salt if desired. Then refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate is hardened. Slice into bars to serve.

I love to spice up cauliflower rice with lots of color and flavor. That’s exactly what you get with this Golden Spring Cauliflower Rice recipe.

The golden color comes from turmeric, and the flavor comes from diced onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and parsley.

While cauliflower doesn’t have to be organic, choosing organic is the ideal choice, as you not only reduce or limit your exposure to pesticides but our environment as well. You can find it at your local grocer or farmers market, or get it shipped straight to your door by grocery shopping online, for example via Amazon Fresh.

To save time with this golden cauliflower rice recipe, buy riced cauliflower. It’s available in the frozen section of most health food stores (and even mainstream ones). You can sometimes find it in the fresh produce section, too. Conversely, you can “rice” cauliflower by putting cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender and pulsing until it’s chopped into rice-like pieces. I prefer frozen as it’s quick, easy, and less clean up. But if it’s not available, I’ll make it from scratch.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red onion diced (1 small onion)
3 cloves garlic diced
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin powder
2 1/4 cups carrot diced (2 large or 4 small)
3 stalks celery diced
6 cups cauliflower rice fresh or frozen ~ 600 g or 21 oz bag
1 tsp unrefined salt (real, pink, or Celtic salt) or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley minced

Instructions

Heat a medium pan over medium heat.
Add oil. Reduce heat to low, then add onions, and stir occasionally for 30 seconds before adding garlic, turmeric, and cumin. Stir well, and give it another 30 seconds or so, until fragrant.
Next, stir in the carrots and celery. Cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the cover and stir in the cauliflower rice. Do not recover. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, until cauliflower is yellow from the turmeric and soft. Turn off the heat. Stir in parsley and salt to taste.

Recipe Notes

This saves well in an air-tight glass container and can be reheated throughout the week.
