Is there room for health challenges such as Whole 30, Veganuary, or exercise challenges within the principles of Intuitive Eating? Read on to learn why I think there is.

Calories - To Count, Or Not To Count?
What are calories, why do they matter, and should we be counting them? Let's dig into a bit of science and a bit of philosophy to find out.
is coconut oil healthy?
Is coconut oil healthy? Should I put coconut oil in my coffee? What's the deal with coconut oil anyways??? I've been fielding questions about coconut oil for a long time. And rightly so, it's confusing! Coconut oil was totally fat-shamed in the 90's for being super high in saturated fat - about 82% of the […]
Vegetarian Pinwheels
A quick and easy healthy snack or lunch that's versatile, vegan, and delicious! This is a quick post about a quick bite I like to make. We just did a whirlwind tour of the Amalfi coast for some dear friends' wedding, which meant dragging our one-year-old out of bed at 4am one morning for a […]
a guide to summer produce
The best produce season of the year is upon is, and I don’t know about you guys but I’m gonna make the most of it while the fresh, local, in-season summer produce is at its best. Is there anything better than a warm, juicy peach straight from the farmer’s market? Or that impossibly sweet summer […]
are you hungry? thoughts on physical vs emotional hunger
Most days around three o'clock or so in the afternoon, I find myself standing in front of the office snack drawer and asking myself this question: am I hungry? I'll admit it's taken a fair amount of mindfulness to get to the point of asking this question in the first place. When I first started […]
asparagus + gruyère strata
I have a vague memory of asparagus growing in my parents' back yard in Vancouver. Not a lot of it, just a handful of spindly stalks poking up each spring in the raised garden bed beside the garage. Asparagus is a perennial crop, so I'm sure it was planted at some point in ancient history […]
Black Bean Noodle Bowls with Spicy Sesame Sauce
Spicy Black Bean Noodle Bowls! Protein-packed black bean noodles are tossed with a zippy sesame peanut sauce and fresh seasonal vegetables for a delicious plant-based meal. Perfect for packed lunches or make-ahead dinners.
berry fennel smoothie
Spring is my favourite time of year. Don't get me wrong, I love summer, and I probably have the most fun in the summer (I mean, who doesn't?), but spring holds so much promise and anticipation that's such a breath of fresh air after the winter. Unless, of course, you live in Sweden, where spring can […]

roasted banana ice cream
My baby turned one last week. Although it was an unexpectedly weepy and nostalgic day for me, Niko seemed to give zero effs about it. I walked into his room on Wednesday morning singing happy birthday, and he shouted something that I interpreted along the lines of, "shut your face and give me that damn bottle, […]
banana cardamom breakfast shake
Before I had a child of my own I never understood what the big deal was, why people with children complained about never being able to get things done. Don't babies sleep all the time? Well. Consider myself appropriately humbled. The last eight months have been an adventure, to say the least, and gratifying beyond belief. […]
no-bake granola bars
These no-bake granola bars are quick, easy, and endlessly adaptable. Well hello! Some of you might have assumed, given the lengthy silence around these parts, that I've been busy having a baby. It's a fair assumption, given my condition when we last spoke, but unfortunately not correct. Baby Muffin Myth is still baking away, much […]
how to process a pumpkin (again)
Keen to process a pumpkin but not sure how? Here are easy step by step instructions for everything from choosing the right pumpkin to how to store the purée when you’re done. It’s pumpkin season! Unless you live in a box buried underground and never go online, you already know that. Last week I did […]
roasted butternut squash and black bean burritos {freezer friendly}
These roasted butternut squash and black bean freezer burritos are nutritious, and delicious vegetarian burritos. A perfect make-ahead meal to have stashed in the freezer! We are in the process of trying to buy a new apartment. When we first found out I was pregnant we thought about moving, and then decided that it would […]
egg salad with celery and dill
A simple egg salad with celery and dill. Perfect for a quick, easy, and nutritious packed lunch. I went for my first outdoor swim of the year this morning. Stockholm has had a less than pleasant spring, so the air was cold and my feet went painfully numb on the barefoot walk from the pool […]
super seed smackdown
Recently a client of mine asked if I would put together a cheat sheet with the health benefits of chia, flax, and hemp. I surely would, and I also thought it would be a great idea for a nutrition post on The Muffin Myth. So I’m here today with the Super Seed Smackdown! Let’s start […]
a light lunch bowl - napa cabbage slaw with chickpeas
A fresh and light lunch bowl with shredded napa cabbage, parsley, and chickpeas. I put up our blackout blinds last weekend. And by blackout blinds I of course mean the dark brown fitted sheet we hang over our bedroom window during the summer months. Our apartment, quite bafflingly, is fitted with black blinds in every […]
spicy cauliflower frittata
Spicy harissa paste, chewy halloumi cheese, and salty capers come together in this quick and easy one-pan frittata that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This past weekend in Paris was fabulous. It's such an incredible city, beautiful and sparkly and vibrant. We were lucky with the weather (glorious!), Paul ran a great race (one […]
wholegrain rhubarb muffins with apricot and ginger
Wholegrain muffins with fresh spring rhubarb, apricot, and ginger two ways - a Throwback Thursday post from The Muffin Myth archives. Since finishing my last exam nearly a month ago I’ve been working a tonne, often teaching two different courses in the same day. On the days when I do end up with a block […]
tempeh reuben bowls
A veganized and bowl-ified riff on a classic Reuben sandwich. Packed with nutritious gut-friendly foods, this meal-bowl takes some effort but is great for make-ahead meals and packed lunches. One of the challenges of being a food blogger is constantly coming up with new and exciting recipes to post. Sometimes you come up with an […]
caesar roasted broccoli with orzo
Caesar roasted broccoli with whole-wheat orzo and almonds is one of the easiest dinners you'll ever make! Easter is one of my favourite times of year. It's not just that the children dress as witches and go trick or treating, a tradition I adore (they're such cute little witches!), or that people hand you gigantic […]
mindful eating - put it down!
On Saturday, I ate a sandwich. I was having a hankering, and realized that I had everything handy for my favourite tempeh reuben, so I went for it. I whisked up a marinade for the tempeh, and let it soak. I sliced up some cheese, grated a beet, drained some sauerkraut, toasted some bread, and […]
coco cocoa granola {naturally sweetened}
Chocolate, coconut, and almond granola naturally sweetened with dates. Free from refined sugar, vegan, and easily gluten-free, this granola is perfect for everyone! My friend Lindsay taught me how to run. I mean, I was always physically capable, I think, but I had viewed running mostly as something that was necessary only when being chased. […]
pear ginger springtime smoothie with bee pollen
A fresh and nutritious green smoothie with pear, ginger, parsley, and bee pollen. Spring is in the air, right? It's March, so it has to be. I always find this time of year so tedious. The deepest of the winter months are behind us, but we've still got a good stretch to go before the […]
lemony roasted broccoli and tempeh with quinoa
Batch cooked quinoa comes together with lemony roasted broccoli and tempeh for a quick, easy, and nourishing make-ahead meal. Sundays are perfect for weekday prep, so let’s do some batch cooking, shall we? Let’s whip up a batch of something fast. Something jam-packed with goodness. Something that’s good when it’s warm but equally good when […]
the soy situation {guest post}
A few years ago I had the privilege of meeting the wonderful Kellie of Food to Glow at a food blogger conference. We had an instant connection and a lot in common - Kellie is a cancer nutrition educator - and over the years it has seemed that we might in fact share a brain; […]
how to cook dried beans
Beans, beans, good for your heart. Beans, beans, they make you.... smart! That's right, smart! Beans are a good source of folate, dietary fiber, protein, phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, potassium and vitamin K. The protein-plus-fiber combination in beans is one of the things that makes them special. Much of the fiber is indigestible, which supports […]
make and freeze breakfast bars
I learned something shocking recently. Not everyone loves overnight oats as much as I do. I know. It’s crazy, right? For one thing, the texture, which I find magically creamy and delicious, is not for everyone. Also, being the winter and all, not everyone is into the idea of a cold breakfast. And perhaps most […]
Asian {veggie} noodle salad
An Asian-inspired vegetable noodle salad with tofu. Vegan, gluten-free, and super quick and easy, this makes a great light lunch. During the week my husband and I eat in a very routine way. If you’re a regular reader, you already know that, and you might even know that because today is Monday I’m going to be […]
beautiful beet burgers {vegan}
A beautiful vegan burger patty made from beets, beans, and quinoa. Great in sandwiches, or crumbled into salads. Make a big batch and freeze them for future meals. The perfect veggie burger is, I think, an elusive thing. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good veggie burgers out there, but it's a trick […]
winter citrus breakfast salad with quinoa and toasted walnuts
Tangy grapefruit and blood oranges are paired with peppery arugula, tiny pearls of quinoa, creamy avocado, and crunchy walnuts for an easy, healthy, and delicious breakfast salad. Winter, it seems, is a time of year many of which many of us would rather sped by, transporting us forward to longer days and balmier weather. I, […]
Indonesian gado gado
A twist on a traditional Indonesian dish. Steamed vegetables, cubes of fried tofu, and hard-boiled egg come together with a spicy peanut sauce for dipping. When Paul and I arrived in Bali in December, a day late and with no luggage, we were greeted at the airport by a man holding a sign with our […]
single serving chocolate cake
Sometimes portion control is the easiest path to moderation, so today I'm sharing a single serving chocolate cake. Because everyone deserves a little cake sometimes! I've been going grey since my early 20's. I think at around 22 I found my first grey hair and though they slowly trickled in, in the last few years […]
Savoy Cabbage Slaw
This Savoy Cabbage Slaw is a crunchy, colorful cabbage salad made with apple, smoked tofu, and a tangy dressing. It's hearty enough for lunch, sturdy enough for meal prep, and is one of those salads that gets even better after a day in the fridge.
