YogOats

Ingredients

1. Small cut oats

2. Salt

3. Maple syrup / honey

4. Peanut butter

5. Yoghurt panier strawberry / any salt yoghurt

6. Fruits / chocolate if using plain yoghurt

Add the small cut oats to a medium sized mixing bowl.

Throw in a pinch of salt and mix it all up with a spoon.

Add ×1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup and mix the ingredients.

This step is optional. If the oats are not sticking to and forming into balls, add peanut butter until the mixture reaches a sticky consistency. Make sure to add just enough so they would combine but not too much otherwise the PB will be too overpowering.

Mix the “dough” altogether.

Oil your hands a little with some cooking oil and roll the oats into small cookie shapes.

Add a tbsp of yoghurt on top and garnish with some strawberries or any fruits of your liking.

If you are using salt yoghurt and not fruity yoghurt, garnish with some shaved chocolate.

Freeze the cookie yoghurt balls for 2 hours and it will be ready.

Healthy Weeknight Meals

Cooking can sometimes feel like a chore at the end of a busy day. It’s often tempting to throw a ready meal in the oven or call for take out. But preparing a simple and healthy family meal doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Here are some quick wholesome dishes that you and your family will love. They can even be prepared in advance.

Better than Poutine

I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
