Lemon Bread with Strawberries & Cream Swirl
This is the most gorgeous lemon bread out there. It is swirled with raspberry jam and cream cheese, you are going to adore every bite.
Because we know most of you will try and make these swaps anyways, we did it for you!
Here’s the low down on how this bread is healthier than most other lemon bread recipes.
Flour: This is an option to use 50/50 recipe made with both all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour. In order to make sure it was fluffy as can be and not so dense, you can keep some all-purpose in there. Or feel free to try and use all white whole wheat like I did :-)
Oil: Because we used an entire cup of bananas.. or you can substitute applesauce, we were able to bring the oil content down to just 2 tablespoons. We also opted to use coconut oil, which is our favorite for baking. You can try and use another fruit puree such as pear sauce or even pumpkin!
Sugar: When it comes to muffins and loaves, there truly isn’t anything better than brown sugar, which is what we used. However, we are confident that coconut sugar will work just the same.
Asian Broccoli Salad
It’s salad time! Get ready for the best Asian broccoli salad. Bright, delicious and so easy to make! Ready in 20 minutes from start to finish.
It’s so great when you can dig into a fresh salad right after making it!
Well, I’d say that it’s equally awesome when you can store leftovers of that salad in the fridge and then dig in the next day and still enjoy it. You see, salads have a tendency to wilt into a gloppy mess if they’re not eaten immediately.
But that’s not the case with this bright, fresh Asian broccoli salad! It definitely stands the test-of-time when it comes to leftovers.

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
How do you shred zucchini for muffins?
I like to shred zucchini in my food processor. This is the fastest way, but you can also use a box grater (use the large holes) instead.
There’s no need to peel the zucchini first, but quarter it and scrape out the seeds with a spoon if your zucchini are large.
How do you get the water out of zucchini?
Zucchini needs to be drained after shredding it to use it in baked goods like these chocolate zucchini muffins. Place the shredded zucchini in a fine mesh strainer and let the liquid drain out of it, pressing it with a spoon to get most of the liquid out.
You can wring out even more liquid in a clean kitchen towel if you like – just place the shredded zucchini on the towel, fold it over, twist the ends to seal it and the wring out as much liquid as you can.
But for muffins I usually just press out as much as I can in the strainer and that’s good enough.
Moist, chocolatey, delicious muffins that everyone will love!
You can adjust the recipe to suit your family's tastes, or create your own variations.
Zucchini Banana Bread
I’ve made this zucchini banana bread for as long as I can remember, ever since I learned how to bake. I used oat flour in this recipe.
Children love it for a snack, and it's good to serve at any meal. It's another delicious way to use zucchini, which is so abundant in late summer.
Blueberry Breakfast Bars
This recipe is one that I often give my friends because you can make it year-round (just use frozen blueberries when you can’t find them fresh!) and because the crumbly topping — once you’ve done it once — is something you can begin using to top just about anything.
I use it on apple crisps and cobblers, any fruit bar, or even bake it up on its own to scatter atop yogurt
I love this topping because it’s slightly nutty, very subtlety-spiced, and not at all too sweet — plus, it’s so simple to throw together.
You can also swap in different fruits I made these with frozen huckleberries and raspberries a while ago. Just yummy!
Goat Cheese, Mango & Honey Toast
Toast topped with mango slices and smooth and creamy goat cheese and then topped with basil leaves for a perfect blend of flavors.
If you’re tired of smoothies or chia puddings for breakfast, but what something that’s sweet and healthy and fast, then this toast is for you.
Maybe it’s because it’s summer, or maybe it’s because mangoes are just so delicious, but I’ve been adding more and more mangos to my diet lately.
And my excuse is that they are healthy. And they are delicious.
Studies link mango and its nutrients to health benefits such as improved immunity, digestive health and eyesight as well as a lower risk against certain kinds of cancers.
Mangoes contain enzymes that aid the breakdown of food molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed and used by the body.
This is such a fast and easy breakfast, you will forget it’s healthy.
