NOTE: Stock up on the almond milk for this one!Just imagine the feeling of rich and creamy dark chocolate melting on your tongue and mixing with the crunch of cashews and the spicy aftertaste of ginger. This recipe will have your tastebuds partying in your mouth for hours! STEPS1. Chop cashews - I put them in a bag and ran a rolling pin over the bag.
2. Dice crystallized ginger 3. Break up the dark chocolate bar into pieces. 4. Set up a double broiler - fill a pot with a cup of water and boil on the stove. Take a slightly smaller pot that fits closely inside the larger one and fill with the broken pieces of chocolate. As the water in the larger pot boils, the chocolate in the smaller pot will begin to melt. Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from burning. 5. Once the chocolate has melted, add almond milk and stir evenly. Remove from the double broiler. 6. Add in ginger and cashews and stir until coated evenly. Mine started to cool and solidify so I had to work quickly. 7. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper OR a mini-muffin tray with muffin cups. Spoon chocolate-ginger-cashew mixture into muffin cups or spoon onto parchment tray. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt if you wish. Place tray in freezer for 10 minutes or until set. I recommend making the portions very small because the chocolate is so dark and rich. 8. Enjoy with a nice glass of almond milk!

I have been so fortunate in the last few weeks to shadow one of Toronto's top Naturopathic Doctors and learn about her style of practice and how to operate in the big city. I am even more fortunate and excited to announce that I will be covering Dr. Rachel Coradetti's maternity leave and will be available to see patients in her Liberty Village clinic from August 2016-January 2017.
Dr. Coradetti holds her naturopathic medical practice out of Body in Tune, a wellness centre located right off East Liberty Street. The clinic is easily accessible by car and GO train, as it is just a few minutes walk from Exhibition GO station.

This Canada Day came so fast that there was barely time to prepare. And because it was a Friday, all the food in the fridge was gone and of course, the grocery stores were closed for the holiday. SO I took to Pinterest to help me come up with some healthy lunch ideas with whatever ingredients I had left. This zucchini fritter recipe was simple and fast - a perfect way to get my protein and some vegetables on a holiday. STEP 1 - Mix all ingredients togetherSTEP 2 - Prepare a hot skillet with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Spoon the mixture onto skillet in pancake-size rounds.STEP 3 - Flip the fritters to cook both sides. Once cooked, plate your fritters and top with your favourite yogurt/sour cream/sauce or enjoy plain! |
