When I make a salad, the crunchier it is, the better it tastes. I loved the thought of adding quinoa into a salad but adding crispy quinoa is a whole different ball game. The arugula, toasted walnuts, bell peppers, pear, apple and carrots pair beautifully with the easy raspberry vinaigrette.dressing. And it’s all perfectly balanced with nutrient-packed crispy quinoa. New on the blog today!

My favourite #meatloaf recipe ever. Inspired by #s

My favourite #meatloaf recipe ever. Inspired by #secondhelpings (basically my go to cookbook bible) I tweak my loaf recipe to make it my own but don’t mess with the sauce…trust me, it’s next level.

Sweet & Sour Meatloaf

THE LOAF
1½-2 lbs ground meat (turkey, chicken, beef or plant based)
2 extra large eggs
2 pieces challah, processed into fine crumbs
¼ cup bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
THE SAUCE :
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup white vinegar
6 oz. tin tomato paste
¾ tin water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
NOTE: if you want extra sauce to pour over mashed potatoes or rice I would highly suggest doubling the sauce recipe.

Combine ingredients for the loaf and mix well. Set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Blend 2/3 cup sauce into meat mixture. Shape into loaf and place in shallow baking dish. Pour remaining sauce around loaf. Bake at 400° F for 45 minutes. Baste every 15 minutes. occasionally Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.

1 cup packed dates, pitted
3/4 cup nuts (I used walnuts)
1/2 cup organic natural creamy peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3 TBS water, or more as needed

In bowl of food processor add the pitted dates, nuts and coconut. Process until nuts have broken down into small pieces and mixture is sticky. Add in oats, peanut butter and flaxseed ; process until mixture comes together, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time towards the end. The mixture may feel crumbly, but should be moist and hold together once formed into balls. Add a little bit of water and continue to process if needed.
Using a tablespoon size cookie scoop, shape mixture into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Coat in your choice of toppings. I used melted dark chocolate and unsweetened shredded coconut. Or you can leave them plain.

Place baking sheet in freezer for 20 minutes before transferring to container of your choice.
Can be stored in an airtight container in fridge up to two weeks, freeze up to three months.

Decadent. Delicious. Easy. My kinda dessert.

Single Serve Dark Chocolate Espresso Brownies

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, packed
2 x-large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso or coffee granules mixed with a drop of hot water(just to melt it into a pourable paste)
8 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
good pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chopped into small chunks(I used a 72% good quality bar)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 3 ramekins with cooking spray. *Note: I used @staub_ca ones which are 8 oz capacity and did a standard ice cream scoop full of the brownie batter. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Microwave for 30-40 seconds, then remove and whisk well. If the butter is not melted microwave for a few seconds more.

Add the egg yolks vanilla extract and coffee paste. Whisk well.

Add in cocoa powder, flour, and salt and fold together until there are no streaks of flour. Add the chocolate chunks fold in. Don’t over mix.

Divide the mixture between your ramekins and bake for 18-22 minutes until the edge is set. Test with a knife. It’s okay if the middle comes out with a bit of brownie batter on it. Allow to cool slightly before eating.
