Recipes, Sauces + Dips

Dips are a staple in our house. Jackson (my toddler) is obsessed with them – hummus, guacamole, cashew cheese, and especially this Herbed White Bean Dip. It’s perfect for snacking or spreading on your favourite wraps. I love that it’s FULL of protein, fibre, and iron. Healthy + delicious.

Paleo chicken fingers breaded in almond flour on white plate.

Main Meals, Recipes

One of my all-time favourite foods is chicken fingers. There is something just so deliciously perfect about them. Slight crunch, a little salty, and yummy AF. Chicken fingers aren’t usually synonymous with healthy food. Obviously, I had to make up a version that was. How else could I go on with my life if I didn’t?

Even though I’m a Holistic Nutritionist, I still think it’s important to indulge in sweet treats. That’s why I created my Layered Raw Vegan Cheesecake. I always keep this on hand because it freezes beautifully and you can quickly thaw a piece for a guilt-free treat! And I’ve totally had this for breakfast before, too.

Maple Balsamic Tempeh Bites Tempeh is one of my favourite plant-based proteins. I love that one serving boasts 16 grams of protein and 5 grams of fibre! If you’re not familiar with tempeh, it’s made through a fermentation process that binds the soybeans into a cake form. The combination of the balsamic and maple make […]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say cauliflower is my favourite vegetable. I love all the ways I can cook it up – especially these cauliflower hash browns. They are the perfect companion to your weekend breakfast or delicious as a quick snack. I love pairing this with my Rosemary Garlic Aioli, […]

Two-Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes I’m all about sneaking more veggies into the diet anyway I can. That’s why I love these Two Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes. Plus, they’re SUPER cute. C’mon look how tiny they are! Tiny things are always cuter. I make a batch of these ahead of time (uncooked) so Jackson and I […]

The perfect secret sauce to keep on hand for boosting the flavour of any recipe. Spread onto your wrap, mix into tomato sauce, or use as a dip for your favourite veggies!

Creamy Chocolate Avocado Pudding This is the most decadent healthy recipe out there. Rich cacao powder paired with creamy avocado and cashew butter make for a super tasty treat. To be honest, I even have this for breakfast sometimes. It’s that healthy and that good. When I made up a batch this week, Jackson anxiously […]

Almond Crusted Paleo Chicken Balls The other night, my husband, Frank, and I were chatting about what our favourite foods were growing up. He started going on and on about chicken balls. So, I decided to create a super tasty and healthy version, Almond Crusted Paleo Chicken Balls. They turned out insanely good. I’m surprised […]

I’m Katie

I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women with chronic acne clear their skin from the inside out.

Hey!

After years of dealing cystic breakouts, I cleared up my skin for good by fixing my gut, liver and hormones. I went back to school for nutrition and then said seeya later to my job in television. I launched an online nutrition business (before working from home was a thing) so I could help as many women as possible feel confident AF in their own skin, too.

MEET KATIE'S TEAM

Let's get your skin finally cleared up.

Hint: acne is an external symptom of an internal issue. That's why years of prescriptions, medicated creams and fancy facials haven't gotten you the results you're after. Getting rid of acne is an inside job and we're here to help you do it.

Testimonials

"After a few months, my skin improved significantly."

Now my skin is completely blemish-free, I don’t even have to wear makeup. I don’t even break out around my cycle. I really owe it to Katie for her knowledge, and guidance during this clear skin journey. Thank you, Katie!!

"My scars and blemishes from the past continue to fade."

I'm grateful for the knowledge, strength and support to get current breakouts under control while my body continues to detox and heal.

Laurenne B.

"My skin is definitely consistently good now."

I feel like I didn't know why I would go through good spells before and then terrible breakouts. My energy levels and motivation have also returned. This is all so huge for me.

Sara P.

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I use to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
