Pesto rigatoni (gluten free!):

Blend basil, kale, toasted pine nuts, garlic, parmesan & a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil in a food processor

Optional pesto add ins: add a little tang with some lemon juice or spice it up with some pickled jalapenos

Cook pasta in heavily salted water until al dente (I used Rummo gluten free rigatoni)

Reserve a little pasta water & mix into the sauce with a tbsp butter (optional) until it's a creamy consistency

Serve with a generous sprinkling of parmesan & some extra toasted pine nuts

Zucchini carmelizes soo well: Mandoline, zoodle or just slice thin and have a bit of patience it’s so worth it 🤤 shockingly good in a scramble or quiche (to impress) for breakfast. I do usually add onion too. You can prep it ahead and toss it in eggs or use it to jazz up pasta sauce, sandwiches, etc. all week!

Salmon 🍣 🥑 Seaweed Rice (gf): I make this once or twice a month when I’m just too tired to cook(emergency meal). Uplevel is adding furikake. Takes 5 mins if you keep instant microwave rice on hand. Even canned salmon or tuna works. *If celiac you know this already, but use gf soy sauce/tamari.

High-Protein Vegan Green Tomato Coconut Curry: I developed this recipe to take advantage of early and late season green tomatoes. I’m not a big curry girl but this sh*t is crave-able very high protein and fiber and gluten free.

Poke around the site CANAVA.co - robust search and all recipes are developed by us/me and indicate gluten free or not in the recipe notes.

Make a double batch and freeze this it’s quite good later.

Folded eggs with veggies: Sauté sliced mushrooms & kale in an oiled pan on medium-high heat

Add a tiny bit of butter for extra (optional) flavour & season to your liking

Whisk 2 eggs through a sieve into a lightly oiled pan on medium-high heat

Shake the pan to loosen the eggs a little, then when they begin to cook (this will happen quickly), begin gently folding with a spatula

Remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs are cooked to your preferred liking (they will continue cooking once removed from the heat)

Top with crispy chilli oil & spring onion

Chicken, Kale & Pickled Cucumber Salad: Currently eating this while I'm hungover because I am clearly all about health & wellness (I contain multitudes)!!!

Made it up, but here are some vague tips on how to replicate:

ingredients: chicken breast, kale, cucumber, dill, baby capers, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, mayonnaise, lemon, hemp seeds, crushed garlic

1. poach chicken until cooked & juicy, set aside to cool

2. meanwhile, make the pickles by finely slicing the cucumber into a large jar, fill jar with vinegar, garlic, dill & water & shake gently to combine

3. mix mayo, garlic, and a dash of the pickling liquid to make the dressing

4. add all the ingredients to a bowl of chopped kale, top with hemp seeds, more capers & a squeeze of lemon

YUM!
