The Dish On Healthy, Toronto, ON (2026)

The Dish On Healthy tells the story of a life through food; it illustrates a person coping with autoimmune disease through an unprocessed diet. In the journey to eliminate gluten, dairy and refined sugars from my food, I created a variety of delicious alternative recipes and found my best self. I want to share with others that it's fully possible to eat healthy; while recreating all the food and flavors you love. I share easy, make-ahead recipes that will change the way you and your family eat and view food. Because I believe eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated. xx

This Farro Halloumi Salad with chickpeas and kale is the hearty grain bowl you need for all your salad needs, work lunches or Spring outdoor lunch baskets. It’s perfectly convenient and can be enjoyed either warm or cold.. the crispy, pan-fried halloumi takes it over the top!🔥

Inspired by some of my fave salad bar options; I added chickpeas + lentils for extra plant-protein, as well as crunchy and briny halloumi cheese! PSA: The olive-oil, lemon and honey mustard dressing is *chef’s kiss* divine and I can gulp it in industrial amounts, just pass a spoon. Recipe deets below!👇🏻 👇🏻

Ingredients
Farro & Grains
1 cup whole grain farro
2 cups water, or vegetable broth or bone broth for flavor!
2 bay leaves (to cook the farro, adds depth!)
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more, to taste!
1 cup rinsed and drained canned chickpeas
1/2 cup rinsed and drained canned lentils

Add-ons:
1 cup kale
Handful of cilantro or parsley
1/4 cup dried cranberries or golden raisins
1 Tbsp green onions or chives

Salad Dressing
1 shallot, finely minced
2-3 teaspoons runny honey
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3.5 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Pan-fried Halloumi Cheese
250 grams halloumi package
2 Tbsp olive or high heat avocado oil for frying

Instructions 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In a medium stockpot bring water or broth to a boil and add farro, sea salt, and bay leaves. Stir and reduce boil to a simmer until the liquid has been mostly absorbed and the farro looks fluffy and soft. This takes ~20-30 mins. Allow farro to cool and mix with chickpeas, lentils, kale and cilantro or parsley. 🥗 💚

Combine all dressing ingredients into a mason jar with a lid or bowl and stir and shake well, pour over salad. Top salad with cranberries, green onions and dressing. Mix well.

Enjoy every bite!💚💚

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Pancakes are the perfect brunch treat this weekend!!💘🥞🍓 Grab the recipe deets below!👇🏼 These easy pancakes are: fluffy, filling and a total crowd pleaser made with better for you ingredients that are also pantry-friendly. PSA: all you need is a blender and old-fashioned rolled oats to make your own oat flour at home.😉

Ingredients
2 cups oat flour (pulverized GF old-fashioned rolled oats)
pinch of sea salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup vanilla coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil & some extra for the skillet/griddle/pan
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened milk of choice
1 egg or flaxseed egg
1/2 cup chocolate chunks or chips (I use dairy-free ones)

*Flaxseed egg vegan option: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal to 3 tbsp of lukewarm water. Mix well and allow to sit for 5 mins in the fridge to thicken.

Instructions 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First, in a large bowl whisk the dry ingredients: oat flour, pinch of sea salt and baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: milk, yogurt, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Incorporate wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl, whisking gently as you go. Fold in the chocolate chips (don’t over mix). Let the batter rest and you’ll notice it will slightly rise/thicken. If it feels a bit too dry/dense add a splash of water or almond milk. I use an ice scream scooper to measure the same amount of batter for each pancake. Grease the pan or skillet with a bit of butter, coconut oil or ghee beforehand.
Cook over medium/high heat until bubbles start to form, then flip it! I serve mine with raspberries, chocolate, almond butter and pure maple syrup! My cookbook (link in bio) has this recipe plus another winning pancake recipe that boasts other healthy ingredients you wouldn’t expect!

Happy Valentine’s Day from me to you! Enjoy every bite!💖

Sweet Potatoes & Toppings
(2 large servings or 2 small ones)
4 large sweet potatoes 🍠
2 Tbsp olive oil
sea salt and pepper, to taste!
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, finely diced
Handful of fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Handful of cilantro
1 teaspoon sumac (tart spice, great on sweet potatoes!)
Hot sauce, I love Tabasco on mine. (Optional)
4-6 Tbsp your favorite guacamole.

Chorizo & Ground Beef Hash
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely grated (adds a ton of flavor!!)
1 pound lean ground beef or vegan substitute
2 Spanish chorizos, finely minced or rough chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 small can of kidney or black beans
sea salt and pepper, to taste!

Instructions 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Wash and pat dry sweet potatoes, puncture them with a fork all around (don’t skip this step!), then coat in oil, sea salt and pepper and bake for ~35 mins or until golden brown.

While the potatoes bake, warm up oil in a skillet and add your grated onions. Stir for 2 mins then add chorizo, beans and ground beef along with your spices and sea salt & pepper. Cook for ~7 mins or until chorizo & beef brown. Chorizo gives it the best flavor!🙃🙌🏼💣

Slice baked sweet potatoes vertically to open up: add ground beef hash, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, another layer of tomatoes and onions & jalapeños- then top with sumac, fresh cilantro and hot sauce if desired.
