I made these delicious “Cheesy Walnut & Buckwheat Stuffed Mushrooms” for the wonderful bunch today.
🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀🍄‍🟫🧀

This is a perfect, filling, tasty vegetarian main to serve at a holiday meal but also makes a great side dish.

The buckwheat adds a ton of nutty flavour but can be replaced with any other grain of choice. Feel free to switch up / add any nuts you may prefer.

Ingredients:

- 6 large portobello mushrooms
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 Cup mushrooms (cremini or button), diced
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 Cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 Cup cooked buckwheat (can replace with bulgur, rice)
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, minced
- Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400°F.
2) Remove stems from portobello mushrooms and scrape out scales with a
spoon. Place on baking tray and brush with 1 Tbsp oil on both sides.
Season with salt and pepper. Roast, stem-side down for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, flip over and dab any excess moisture away with
paper towel.
3) To prepare filling, heat 2 Tbsp oil in pan. Add minced garlic and sauté
briefly. Add minced cremini/ button mushrooms, chopped walnuts and
cooked buckwheat. Sauté 5 minutes or until fragrant.
4) In large bowl, beat egg. Add walnut mixture, cheeses, parsley (reserve a
bit of parsley for serving), salt and pepper. Stir well until combined. Add
extra olive oil if too dry.
5) Fill each portobello with large spoon of mixture.
6) Return stuffed mushrooms to oven for 15 minutes or until filling is browned
in spots. Garnish with remaining parsley and serve.
*Makes 6 servings

The / Stranger Things crossover you never knew you needed…

May we all feel free to use our ”powers” to shut down any unwanted diet talk this holiday season.

I’m loving this «Popping Snowball Cranberry » recipe I’m seeing everywhere. So easy & addictive! A perfect, seasonal snack that would pair nicely with a cheese/ charcuterie board when hosting. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten this many cranberries before. 🤔

Diet culture has us believing that in order to be “healthy”, food needs to devoid of flavor and fun. That we must be “cheating” if we derive any pleasure from the act of eating.

The truth is that pleasure is an essential part of the eating experience. If food is too dull, repetitive or bland, we will seek out the need for satisfaction even more strongly and feel the need to “rebel”. Even if we are technically eating “enough”, if we do not receive enough enjoyment, we will feel a strong lacking.

If some dressing/ sauce/ butter etc. helps elevate the eating experience, please know that this is a positive thing. Try asking yourself “what can I add to this dish to take it up a level” instead of letting diet culture strip all the excitement away.

I like to think of myself as a generally happy, easy-going, positive person… that said, when diet culture nonsense enters the conversation, my face has a hard time hiding its frustration 🤬😤😡

I would love to hear which of these you agree most with and any that I missed that make you lose it!

Do you notice a change in your relationship with food along with the change in seasons?

It is very normal to seek a little more comfort from food when the days shorten and the temperature cools.

Know that this is not failure, but a simple adaptation. A gentle form of self-care ❤️

Today I made one of my all-time favourite pasta dishes for the amazing bunch . I got this one-pot pasta recipe years ago from one of my clients (benefit of talking about food all day is collecting great recipes!). It’s super easy and oh-so-yummy!

🍅Creamy One-Pot Pasta with Spinach
& Sundried Tomatoes 🍅

Ingredients:

- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 Cup sundried tomatoes, drained & sliced
- 2 Cups vegetable broth
- 2 Cups unsweetened coconut / cashew milk (can replace with cream)
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated, tossed with 2 Tbsp flour
- 450g Farfalle pasta (or pasta of choice)
- 3 Cups Spinach, lightly chopped
- 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- 125g bocconcini cheese (can replace with fresh mozzarella)
- Black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1) In large pot, heat butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sundried
tomatoes. Sauté 1-2 minutes.
2) Add vegetable broth and cashew milk/ cream. Bring to boil then lower to
simmer.
3) Add Parmesan/ flour mixture, whisking until blended. Add pepper.
4) Add pasta, dry, to sauce. Stir to coat. Cover and allow to cook until al
dente, stirring occasionally.
5) Once pasta is cooked, stir in tomatoes and spinach and stir until spinach
is wilted.
6) Stir in bocconcini cheese. Divide between bowls and top with extra
parmesan if desired. Enjoy!

Here’s a little Monday pep-talk for anyone who feels they were “bad” this weekend.

11/05/2025

Food costs have been soaring for over a year now. The pressure to feed ourselves and families in a way that fits our tightening budgets is hard enough without the added pressure we put on ourselves to make meals that fit the impossible “health” standards that diet culture places on us. Hopefully some of these suggestions can help ease the blow. Remember: fed is always best.
