Welcome to Chef at Heart

I’m Jennifer, a chef, runner, wife, and mother striving to achieve a heart-healthy balance in life through food, fitness, and fun.

Chef at Heart is a gluten-free food and lifestyle blog with a focus on inspiring others to find fresh inspiration for living and cooking through recipes, tips, and shared life experiences. Here, I’ll share my passion for supporting local businesses and quality producers, using local quality products in recipe development and meal planning, as well as my running, fitness and travel experiences.

My hope is that you will stay and browse for a while, and when you leave here, you do so inspired to try some new recipes, have fun, stay fit, and make happy memories all while living gluten-free.

Meal prep this weekend included this fabulous curry rice salad with sweet potato, pumpkin seeds, raisins, almonds, and more. Such a great way to get vegetables and other goodies into the family! #mealprep #mealprepsunday #eatyourveggies #salad #ricesalad #dinnertime #theylovedit #glutenfreefood #goodeats #curry
I have a new favourite snack: apple & maple Boursin cheese with pear. I could make a dinner out of this stuff, so good!! #creamcheese #snacktime #snackidea #fruitforlunch #glutenfreesnacks #newfavorite #snack #cantgetenough
What's for #breakfast? Getting my #veggiefix with a veggie sweet potato hash this morning: sweet potato, carrots, peppers, onion & garlic. Ready in just a few minutes and oh so delicious. #breakfastideas #breakfasttime #veggiesforbreakfast #deliciousfood #eathealthy #eatyourveggies
So much local goodness in our farm order this morning. Can't wait to get to cooking and tasting!! #shoplocal #eatlocal #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #ontariofarm #ontariofarmers #freshfood #gettocooking #foodprep #mealprep
It's easy to bring a rainbow to your plate: carrots come in all sorts of colours. These maple Dijon roasted carrots were part of our Sunday supper and I'm already getting requests for more. #eatarainbow #eatavariety #colorfulfood #organic #carrots #vegetables #shoplocal #eatlocal #cookstowngreens
In my continued quest to convert some family members over to vegetarians, I cooked up these ooey gooey good cheesy quinoa cakes last night. Another winner! #goingvegetarian #glutenfree #vegetarian #dinnerideas #theylikedit #quinoaforthewin
Getting my fruits & veg for lunch with a great pear salad. Its loaded with golden beets, pecans, pumpkin seeds, shaved parmesan, mixed greens & sprouts, & lightly drizzled with a fresh homemade apple cider vinegar/maple/Dijon dressing. #bigsalad #saladbowl #fruitsandveggies #healthylunchideas #goodeats #mixitup #applecidervinegar #salad
Sometimes my favourite meals come from cleaning up the leftovers in the fridge. Using up 3 salads today: quinoa harvest with sweet potato, apple & pecans, and Mediterranean chickpea salad over mixed leafy greens. So much flavour and no dressing required! #salad #eatarainbow #vegetarian #eatyourveggies #goodeats #goodeating #nodressingrequired #flavourful
