Welcome to my Recipes!
Here I’ve listed a collection of my all time faves to make.
I’ve organized them by category for you to enjoy!
If you’d like help simplifying meal planning + prep … check out my blueprint below …
All of the recipes below along with hundreds more are stored in my fave online meal
planning database called Plan to Eat.
You can easily save other recipes you find online, create a weekly meal plan using the recipes and then it will create a grocery listfor you based on the ingredients in the recipes 🙌

I recorded this video to show you how I use this app along with online grocery ordering to optimize health in my kitchen.
🎙️ I had a great podcast conversation with the girls at Plan to Eat if you’d like to listen here.
Here are my 3 simple ways to create a smooth cycle of healthy eating:
1. Every couple of months, I take an afternoon to build up a new/fresh library of recipes I want to make. You’ll see most of my faves down on this page.
2. I either print them out to save in a binder in my kitchen or keep them in my online recipe storage database Plan To Eat. PTE is my preferred way because not only can I save recipes online, but I can drag them into a meal plan calendar and from there ti creates a grocery list of all the ingredients needed.
3. Then I order my groceries online to be delivered or for quick pickup. I love this because it saves so much time and I can save the items I typically order each week If you're in Canada, here's $20 off your first online order from Loblaws:
Bonus Tip: Consider hiring someone once a week to pick up your grocery order, come to your home + do a day of meal prep.
have you tried using doTERRA oils in your kitchen?
It’s an amazing + smart integration! I have a bunch of great recipes using the oils right here in my free Cooking Kit.
Here’s a quick video to show you 3 of my fave ways:
I’ve created this Healthy Kitchen Kit which includes a collection of the best kitchen oils, a diffuser and most beautiful natural cleaners.
Here is why I chose these essential oils in this kit for you:
LEMON:
Clean your produce by adding 2 drops lemon with a pump of the OnGuard wash to a big bowl of water and soak your produce for 10 min before rinsing. Add a drop of lemon to your dish cloths + towels to keep them fresh in between washes. Add 2 drops to a large glass of drinking water.
LEMON + BASIL:
Add a drop of each to a pitcher of water before watering your house plants. Also beautiful herbal combination in your diffuser (4 lemon + 2 basil). This combination also makes a nice salad dressing as 1 drop of each with 2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
ROSEMARY + LEMON + VANILLA:
Your kitchen will smell like a Williams Sonoma store when you diffuse these 3 oils together (3 lemon + 2 vanilla + 1 rosemary).
Vanilla is yummy to diffuse on its own too or to add to coffee or baked goods.
PEPPERMINT + WILD ORANGE:
A great blend to diffuse in your kitchen in the morning - really energizing + happy. Add a drop of peppermint or wild orange to baking recipes or your coffee.
You can find all of my custom diffuser blends here.
All of the essential oils in this kit can be used in your cooking recipes + dressings. I have a selection of recipes using essential oils here for you.

Typical grain bread are refined and stripped of their nutrients, then filled with sugar and other preservatives to keep them fresher longer. SPROUTED breads are significantly higher in protein, vitamins, enzymes and have a lower glycemic index, therefore keeping blood sugar more stable, and makes kids feel more satisfied.
