    Mid-late summer is such an abundant time; it's hard not to be grateful. Even though we may begin to feel the cooler weather creeping closer, it's a great time to truly soak up the long, sun-filled days and indulge in all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are ready for harvest.

    Blueberries are in full swing this time of year, and while it's so delightful to enjoy them fresh, it can be a challenge to make use of them ALL. Making jam is a great way to preserve your overflowing blueberry haul and enjoy them right into the winter months. However, many traditional jam recipes contain a substantial amount of processed sugar, which can counteract the nutritional benefits blueberries have to offer. This recipe is refined sugar-free and uses chia seeds rather than pectin, providing a good dose of fibre to further reduce a blood sugar spike.

    Blueberries are very high in antioxidants, especially anthocyanidins (the compound responsible for their blue colour). These powerful compounds play a vital role in our health, from reducing inflammation to protecting against cancer!

    Blueberries are also low on the glycemic index, and with the extra fibre from the chia seeds, this jam is keto-friendly! It's also plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free and damn delish!

    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.

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

    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!
