    • Chocolate Vanilla Seed Butter Recipe

      Posted at 2:35 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 23, 2016

      You deserve this indulgence.  Go ahead and take one bite.  I won’t tell a soul.  This Chocolate Vanilla Seed Butter is sinfully good!

      But what if I told you there is nothing to be ashamed of?  Yes, licking the spoon clean is encouraged today!

      I’ve crafted this seed butter with you in mind.  A delicious and nutritious seed butter with natural cacao,  vanilla extract and is naturally sweetened with a dollop of honey.

      It’s like your favourite of chocolate bar that you can eat right out of the jar.  Minus the junk!

      But that’s not all, it’s also teaming with natural vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.  For example, pumpkin seeds alone are exceptionally high in magnesium, rich in essential fatty acids, and great source of protein and zinc.

      According to Wellnessmama.com (full article here)

      “Magnesium is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and impacts blood pressure, metabolism, immune function and many other aspects of health.”

      “Some experts claim that magnesium deficiency is the single largest health problem in our world today.”

      Besides pumpkins seeds, this seed butter is made using real ingredients like sunflower seeds, coconut oil and cinnamon.  But you won’t find the hydrated oils and refined sugars to fake you into thinking your butter is tasty.  This seed butter uses real ingredients that have nothing to hide and simply taste amazing; naturally.

      Another fantastic fact: This seed butter is completely nut free.  I let the teachers know my son has seed butter in his lunch and he’s good to go.

    • Sweet Potato Fries with Avocado Aioli

      Posted at 9:22 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 25, 2015

      If there was an Oscars for food than root veggies would definitely get my vote for Best Supporting Dish.  Roasted, boiled, steamed, or bbq’d it matters not – they always get thumbs up from me.

      Strangely I never, ever get bored with sweet potatoes.

      Another great way to enjoy sweet potatoes is to serve them up fry-style.  These potatoes in my pictures are cut into fries and then baked. The spices can be easily customized (or you can simply season with sea salt).  I’m partial to this version though as the spice mixture just adds that little something extra.

      I’ve included a recipe for a creamy mayo-style dip that is egg and dairy free and packed with healthy avocado.  A tasty dip adds to the fun, right? I think so.

      Serve in a pail with some parchment paper and you will really look like you know what you’re doing.  It makes me feel like I’m at some beach burger joint (which is especially nice to think about while I sit in subzero Canadian temperatures).

    • Skinnylicious Cookbook: Coconut & Carob Frozen Snow Balls

      Posted at 8:57 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on October 29, 2014

      Here’s the recipe for Coconut & Carob Frozen Snow Balls from the Skinnylicious Cookbook! My instagram followers asked for it so now it’s time to deliver!

      This is the type of treat that I love to keep stashed away in my freezer for those times when you just need a treat.  It also makes a great snack for when you cuddle up with the family for your upteenth rewatch of Disney’s Frozen.   I think even Olaf would approve.

      A diet with nutrient-dense whole foods and healthy fats is the key to maintaining a healthy body weight and trimming down.   That is one of the key points that Flavia hammers home in the book and in her personal coaching sessions.   With that in mind, there is plenty of room for healthy indulgences – like these Snow Balls!

      Feel free to substitute cacao or cocoa powder for the carob powder and any nut meal would work.

    • I have an announcement to make!

      Posted at 7:40 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on October 28, 2014

      Over the past 12 months I’ve been working incredibly hard on an amazing project with a great friend of mine (and fitness queen!) Flavia Del Monte.  Today, I get to finally announce the fruit of that labour.  A VERY special cookbook!

    • Pumpkin and Plantain Pancakes

      Posted at 9:31 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on October 20, 2014

      SimplyWholeFoods_PlantainPancakes

      It’s tough to beat a stack of homemade pancakes!  Traditional pancake mixes will often contain LOADS of  unhealthy ingredients such as GMO’s, chemical preservatives and refined sugars.  Oh yes, and they will most certainly contain gluten which can be hard to digest for many people (myself included).

      Here’s a pancake version that removes common gut irritants with yummy ingredients like plantains and pumpkin.

      SimplyWholefoods_PlantainPancakes

      With 4 easy steps you can create your own fluffy, pumpkiny delicious pancakes that are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside with a tasty golden shell.  The best part – I’ve flavoured these babies with real pumpkin and spices to recreate that beloved pumpkin pie flavour.

      These pancakes are the perfect gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free and Paleo friendly option for anyone with food sensitivities to wheat, grain, nuts, eggs or dairy.  You could even make them autoimmune protocol friendly by substituting a few ingredients.

      SimplyWholeFoods_PlaintainPancakes

      Bet you can’t eat just one!  I suggest enjoying them with coconut oil, extra cinnamon and maple syrup.
