#SundayBrunch
Asparagus and Eggs, plus Gluten Free Waffles

Sunday mornings are usually brunch at our house. We used to do this all the time before the kids came along, and most recently we've re-introduced the tradition. I really enjoy the time to connect, talk about the week ahead, and just spend family time together.

As you know however, traditional brunch foods like pancakes, bacon, sausage and toast - while super yummy - can often mean tons of extra fat, sugar and carbs!

I've been experimenting with some new recipe ideas to keep it clean, delicious and nutritious.

Here are two of my favourites. BTW these items are not limited to just brunch. They will often make an appearance at dinner - especially the Asparagus and Eggs dish.

Let us know how it goes!

Committed to your health and well-being,

PS. We have no regular scheduled classes July 1st - but have added a bonus sweat called The Great Canadian Workout! Details below the recipe. Friends and family are invited too:)
Asparagus and Eggs
  • Prep Time: 5 Min.
  • Cook Time: 5 to 8 Min
  • Serves 4
The Essentials:
  • 2 Tbsp. ghee or butter (omit if dairy-free, and replace with olive oil)
  • 1 lb. thin asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into small pieces.
  • 8 large eggs
  • 4 to 5 Tbsp. grated cheese of your choice (cheddar, parmesan, provolone)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chives for serving, plus any other fresh herb of choice

The How To's:

  1. Clean and prep the asparagus, chopping into bite sized pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium, and then add butter or ghee.
  3. Add the asparagus and cook until slightly softened, about five minutes. Add the cheese and allow to melt. Shake the pan occasionally.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add salt and pepper.
  6. Add the egg mixture to the pan, and immediately begin folding the eggs over with the spatula so the eggs solidify around the asparagus. You can create a nice omelette, or big soft curds.
  7. When all the eggs are cooked, remove from heat and serve topped with chives, grated parmesan, and other herbs of choice.

Gluten-Free Waffles

  • Prep Time: 5 Min.
  • Cook Time: 5 to 8 Min
  • Serves 4


The Essentials:

  • 1 3/4 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour Blend (I used Bob's Red Mill)
  • 2 Tsp. baking power
  • 1 Tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut sugar (you can find in the health food section of grocery store)
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (carton, unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • Pure maple syrup, butter/ghee, and/or fruit for topping (optional)


The How To's:

  1. Whisk everything together in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Heat waffle iron and coat with butter, ghee, or coconut oil.
  3. Pour 3/4 to 1 cup of the batter onto the maker, and close it.
  4. Cook for about 4 minutes or so, or until the steam no longer escapes.
  5. Remove with a fork, top with your favourite topping, and enjoy!
