I've been messing with asafoetida!

My hubbies digestive system doesn't handle garlic or onions too well, and we have gotten preeeeety good at cooking without it!

(If I do say so myself 😏)

But sometimes ya just miss those classic flavour profiles that low key dominate North American cooking

So, in comes asafoetida!

It is a potent dried resin that is widely used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, and it mimics the flavours of garlic and onions 🌰 🧅

AND, it actually helps to relieve digestive upset

It combats gas/bloating, it stimulates digestions and it is an antispasmodic (can alleviate cramps)

Ill call that a win-win

🤗

So I thought I'd try to make classic garlic shrimp, but with a twist

I fried the shrimp in asafoetida

And made a little cocktail sauce with ketchup, radishes, and pickled parsnips

YUM!

I feel like absolute garbage today 🫩😵‍💫🥴

So I decided to make myself a little nutrient dense snack plate

I focused on foods that were not only easy to grab (no chopping involved!) but also full of what my body was crying out for

We've got kippers (sardines), chives, cheddar, radishes, pickles, mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, cream cheese with some furikake, and a couple of bloobs 🫐

This tasty assortment covers three of the big necessary electrolytes:

Sodium (pickles, cheddar cheese, cream cheese with furikake, and canned kippered sardines)

Magnesium (pumpkin seeds, cashews and almonds)

and Potassium (radishes, green chives/scallions, pumpkin seeds, and almonds)

We've also got a super dose of omega-3s here, along with some zinc, iron, b-vitamins and vitamin C (to name a few)

🧡

When you are feeling physically "off"—whether that means fatigued, dehydrated, dealing with a headache, or just generally depleted—your nervous system and fluid balance need targeted support, just like this.

Im going to pair this plate with a big ol glass of water, and some rest

And THEN hopefully I will get myself back on track

I kinda need to be

There has been a cute little bear outside all week 😅

Steak night!

Love me a good ol' hunk of 🥩meat🥩 char grilled over the fire

Red meat is one of the richest sources of B vitamins available (technically, beef liver is, but a good 'ol steak will get ya to where you need to go, as long as you dont have any deficiencies)

Our bodies NEED B vitamins in order to synthesis serotonin and dopamine--yannow, the feel good stuff! 😋

They help us recharge both physically and psychologically

B vitamins are essential for a healthy metabolism, and they help us turn food into energy.

All the while supporting the livers detoxification process

Basically, B vitamins are our friend

Who likes pancakes??

Well, these are *dinner pancakes*

High protein and high fiber ✔✔

Made with leftover lentils and rice that were cooked in broth.

I mixed 'em in a big bowl with some 'gurt, chives, cumin and salt! 👩‍🍳

Simple. Delicious.

Then I formed them into little patties and pan fried in some avocado oil until they were crispy

From there you can top them however you'd like.

I went with some kewpie mayo and black sesame seeds for this one. But its also good with mayo and "everything but the bagel" seasoning. Also: yogurt mixed with pickle juice. The acidity of these toppings help to make a simple dish feel gourmet 🤌

Pro tip: soak your lentils for a few hours before cooking. This not only reduces the cooking time, but also improves digestibility! It breaks down the complex sugars that can cause that unwelcome gas

It also improves nutrient absorption! By soaking them, you are neutralizing phytates that can interfere with the bioavailability of minerals like iron and zinc. 🤓

Essentially you are making sure that you are getting all that you can out of the ingredients that have chosen.

You paid for them! Why not get the best bang for your buck?!

Marshmallows!

As promised 😇

Did you know that marshmallows actually originated from a plant?

Called the marshmallow plant! 🌿

Ancient Egyptians would boil down the pulp of this plant and mix with honey to create medicine

It was used for soothing sore throats, and also for its gut health properties

The plants root contains a mucilage that forms a protective layer over the lining of your digestive system

Modern day marshmallows lost their way somewhere in time... and contain little to no health benifits....

But! Worry not! Here is how to make them so that they may reclaim their title as a 'health food'

☺️

To make:

Steep 2 tbsp of marshmellow root in 1 cup of water, overnight (use cold water- hot water kills the mucilage)

Once steeped, strain half of the liquid into a pot and the other half into a mixing bowl

Sprinkle 2.5 tbsp of gelatin into the cold/room temp liquid that you placed into the bowl and let that bloom (soak up liquid)

While that does its magic, turn your attention to the pot

Add 3/4 cup of sweetener of choice. I did berry sugar and honey🍯

Heat until she's simmering, and continue to do so for the next 9 mins-- stirring, so it doesnt burn!

Once your timer is up, remove from heat and head on back over to your bowl

Add 1 tsp of slippery elm powder (another gut health hero!)

Here is where you can also add in any colourings or flavorings that youd like

I went simple with a splash of vanilla for flavour

And threw in a tsp of butterfly pea powder for coloring 🦋 (and extra antioxidants!)

Slowly pour the hot liquid into the mixing bowl while beating at high speed

Mix for another 8-10 mins!

It should get nice and frothy and bubbly and beautifully whipped

Pour into a pan that has been dusted with arrowroot powder and let set for a few hours

~The hardest part is resisting cutting into them right away!!~

Once set, cut into cubes and dust with some more arrowroot power -- this keeps them from being too sticky

And enjoy!

🤗

What flavour should I try next??

Man, winter really has been holding on their year... I mean, its literally been blizzarding all week...

BUT, I'm calling today the first official day of spring!! 🌿

And we finally were able to head out and tap one of our Birch trees!

Ive got high hopes for this little set up.

Birch water is a deliciously light tasting, nutrient dense beverage known for its hydration and antioxidant properties

It's jam packed with essential vitamins and minerals

It's anti-inflammatory and is also touted for its detoxification properties 🤓

Hopefully this little spring is prosperous!

If it all works out we can then take it a step farther and boil it down to make a tasty, sweet Birch syrup 🥞

Wish us luck!

Its breakfast time!

Today im having plain greek yogurt with grapes and granola 🍇🌾

Simple, yet effective.

You get your protein and probiotics from the 'gurt 💪

Your phytonutrients, antioxidants and energy from the grapes 🤸‍♀️

And your complex carbs from the granola and a whole whack ton of healthy fats and omegas from the seeds and nuts (in granola)

The beauty of this combo? It’s not just fuel—it’s staying power. The protein from the Greek yogurt paired with the fiber in the granola and grapes keeps your blood sugar stable so you aren't reaching for a snack an hour later

Aaaaaaaand did I mention how quick and delicious it is?! 😋

Even if youre strapped for time, you can still whip up a healthy and tasty brekkie

What did you have for breakfast today?

I call these 'imovedtothebushanddidntbringanychocolatebutireallywantedchocolatesoifoundsomeunsweetenedbakerschocolateinthepantryandmadesomrgranolabarswithabunchofstufffromthepantry' bars

😅🤓

How I made them:

Melted some coconut oil on the stove and then added some cereal (heritage o's- khorasan wheat, oats, spelt, barley, millet & quinoa), large flake oats, vanilla, rough chopped bakers chocolate and then sweetened it with some homemade spruce tip honey

And then I pressed them down into a pan and let cool/set for an hour before digging in

I love making granola bars because they are soooo customisable! You literally throw whatever you have/want together!

They slightly change every time, and its a great way to use up any old cereal or pantry ingredients you have

Like, I went from having no sweet treat, to having a whole PAN of sweet treats and I just used stuff that was already sitting in the back of the cupboard.

And, I got my chocolate fix!

The Nutrition Takeaway: You don't need a 20-step recipe or 'superfood' powders to make a better snack. By using a base of ancient grain cereal and fiber-rich oats, then sweetening it yourself, you’re getting a stable energy boost without the blood sugar crash of a store-bought bar.

What’s the weirdest 'pantry raid' snack you’ve ever invented?"

Welp, it appears I've made h***h! 🍶

haha, just kidding.

I mean, I DID make booze. But it will turn into vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar!

You may remember my post a few weeks ago where I made that apple pie? Well, all I did was throw the peels and cores into this bottle with some water and sugar, and let 'er sit on the counter for a few weeks to ferment.

Once I noticed that the scraps were starting to sink, I knew it was time for the second step 🥸

I filtered everything out, so now I'm just left with this golden liquid. I will let that sit (unopened) for a few more weeks until its reached my desired "tartness"

and then I can start reaping the rewards!

Stay tuned 📻

I wanted to make an artichoke dip but didn't have any spinach or any of the typical cheesy saucy stuff that your normally associate with artichokes

So, I pivoted and made this flippin' BOMB sardine and artichoke dip

its got Mediterranean vibes 🐟🌴 with sardines, marinaded artichokes, lemon juice, ginger, paprika, chives, alfalfa sprouts and salt and pepper

served with parsnip chips

The sardines not only add a nice umami punch, they're also insaaaaanely good for you!

They are high in quality protein

their calcium and vitamin D content is good for bone health

they're high in vitamin B12, which is vital for energy levels

and one little tin has your daily dose of and Omega-3s covered!

Which synergistically works along side the antioxidants in the sprouts and chives to lower systemic inflammation and aid in your bodies detoxification pathways!

aaaaaalso, artichokes are naturally bitter so they will help you break down the fats in the sardines.

And, honestly, this dish has many many health benefits that I could go on all day about haha

But to keep this post digestible, ill leave it there for now.

Just, try it! You'll be happy you did

Pair with your fave chips and see how your body soaks up all of the goodies and leaves you feeling light and happy after (instead of bogged down by its cheesy counter-part)
