I never thought i’d see the day when we could go without dairy cheese in our home but surprisingly that day actually came. We still love those cheesy flavours but we satisfy them in different ways these days. This is a great cheesy sauce that is as versatile as cheese itself. We use it poured on all sorts of vegetables especially broccoli and kale, in mac-n-cheese, on baked potatoes, or as a nacho cheese dip. If you are not a fan of spicy then just leave out the jalapeño all together. This recipe can be made raw vegan but we prefer to do a quick water saute on the...

It might surprise you to know that it really isn’t hard to make your own ketchup and one that tastes good too. When you are converting your kids to healthier whole food eating, this may be a good transitional recipe for you to try….if you have to go as far as putting it in a traditional ketchup bottle then do it….whatever it takes. When I first introduced my kids to this ketchup, I had to secretly put it on their plates so they wouldn’t notice that it came from a different container than the original Heinz ketchup. My daughter Mo hesitantly dipped her finger in the sauce and said, “Mmmmm...

Poppy seed dressing is our kids favourite dressing by far so you can understand why it was on my list of dressings to recreate. Well I have to give the hubby props for this one because I was having a bit of trouble getting it right without needing too many ingredients. He was able to make a few small adjustments while keeping it rather simple. You will probably begin to notice cashews in a lot of our dressings. The reason for this is because we typically don’t add isolated oil to any dressings. The only oil that gets added comes in its whole food form such as when we...

So many of our favourite recipes from before we went nutritarian contained good old full fat ranch dressing. Whether it was on a salad, in a sandwich, or as dip for veggies, ranch was a mainstay in our home. I had a goal of recreating a collection of our favourite dressings and ranch was a top priority. It was no surprise though that it is the one that has taken me the longest to create. We hope you enjoy this full flavoured nutritarian style, guilt free Ranch Dressing as much as we do. Share it with your kids on a beautiful green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots, as...

Trail mixes are a great snack for kids. There are many different ways you can mix and match a variety of dried fruit & nuts. This one we call monkey mix because ALL the monkeys in the family seem to like it…even the not so hairy ones. Raw cacao nibs aren’t too flavourful on their own, but when combined with the sweetness of dried fruit such as goji berries, it becomes another little piece of all natural awesomeness. Did you know that even just one third of an ounce of raw cacao nibs or 9 grams, has over 100% of the daily iron recommendation? And Goji berries, well they really are a super...
