Healthy Holiday Gingerbread Cookies (gluten-free)

This is one of those perfectly simple, perfectly delicious cookie recipes that come in so handy around the holidays. I made them gluten-free so that everyone in my family could enjoy them (we have some celiacs!), but you could substitute spelt flour or regular white flour for the gluten-free flour instead if you prefer. My kids had a lot of fun squishing and rolling out the dough and choosing their shapes- this will be a go-to recipe all season long! (Next time I may even make some icing to decorate with!)

White Bean & Artichoke Dip

As someone who easily gets tired of hummus… I’m truly obsessed with this recipe. The flavours are bright and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with veggies or pita. Plus, artichokes and beans are both fantastic sources of FIBRE, which is a key component of keeping our gut microbiome happily in balance. I like to make this for gatherings around the holidays, or any appy night with friends to add a fresh, nourishing option to the spread.

This is my favourite “formula” for a trail mix snack. I like to use a mix of nuts and seeds, dried fruits, something crunch, and chocolate of course. My current plant based trail mix combination is included, but really the sky is the limit in terms of combinations!
