    It’s looking like we’re in for another frosty It’s looking like we’re in for another frosty weekend 🥶

But, there’s nothing like warming up with a comforting bowl of Soup! This Creamy Dairy-Free Roasted Tomato Soup is always a go-to for me when the temperature drops low.

With minimal real-food ingredients, it’s so simple to make and is packed full of flavour. 

Plus, it’s delicious topped with a dollop of cultured cashew yogurt or cream!

And it’s completely vegan, gluten-free and contains no added sugars.

Keep warm, Wild Ones ♡
    This balmy October weather is making me reminisce This balmy October weather is making me reminisce over this delicious Peach Pie Filling that was made and devoured on repeat during that decadent time of late summer.

And in actuality, autumn is a great time to enjoy it since peaches help to dispel cold from the body (yep, they are actually more warming than cooling!). Plus, this Peach Pie Filling is sweetened with maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon, bringing in even more of those those warming notes. 

It's perfect for pie, of course, but it's also delicious topped on coconut nice cream, made into a crumble or cobbler, or my favourite, added to oatmeal 🥰

Plus, it’s totally free of dairy, cornstarch, gluten and refined sugar, making it a great anti-inflammatory option 🙌

And you know I gotchu, you can find this recipe on the blog!
