Whipped Goat Cheese & Warm Olive Tapenade 👼🏽

Creamy whipped lemony goat cheese, and a warm, garlicky olive tapenade spooned over top… served with crispy toasted baguette. It’s simple, elevated, and exactly what I want to make this patio & picnic season 🤍

I added in @eversiowellness 5 Mushroom Blend for a nourishing boost — it blends seamlessly into the goat cheese while supporting hormonal balance and overall well-being. Use my code eastongilowski15 for 15% off your order!

This dish reminds me of those little patio moments in Europe — fresh bread, good olive oil, something salty, something creamy, and nowhere to be.

~ Whipped Goat Cheese & Warm Olive Tapenade Recipe
1 baguette
1 log goat cheese
Lemon juice & zest
Salt & pepper
½ tsp @eversiowellness 5 Mushroom Blend

1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried oregano & 1/2 tsp chili flakes
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, minced
1/4 cup Green olives, minced

Fresh chives & cilantro & parsley to garnish

How to make it:
Toast your sliced baguette with olive oil and salt at 375°F for about 15 minutes until golden. Whip the goat cheese until smooth and fluffy, then mix in lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper, and the mushroom blend.

Warm the olive oil in a pan with garlic and spices until fragrant, then add the olives and toss to coat. Spread the whipped goat cheese onto a plate, spoon over the warm tapenade, and finish with fresh herbs.

Serve immediately with toasted bread, crackers, or whatever you have on hand.

Simple, elegant, chic, and made for sharing 🫒🍸🤍

Brown butter chocolate chip banana bread. Getttt it baaaby🤎✨

The most perfect Saturday bake.

Brown butter, extra ripe bananas, melty chocolate chunks. This is the softest and fluffiest banana bread. It’s cozy but light, rich but not heavy — basically everything you want from a weekend bake. I love to slice it thick, pour a cup of tea, and pretend that spring is already here.

Of course I added in my 3 Mushroom Blend from @eversiowellness. It gives this loaf an extra antioxidant boost that we all love and need, and honestly it’s the easiest way to get it in. Use my code EASTONGILOWSKI15 for 15% off.

Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
8 tablespoons unsalted browned butter, melted (or the same amount of coconut oil)
1 egg, room temperature
⅓ cup cane sugar
½ cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅓ cup 0% Greek yogurt
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 teaspoon Eversio 3 Mushroom Blend

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the melted browned butter, mashed bananas, and brown sugar and mix for 1–2 minutes until well combined. Add the granulated sugar and mix until a paste forms. Crack in the egg and whisk until fully incorporated. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla and mix again for 1–2 minutes until everything is smooth and combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and mushroom blend. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet batter, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with extra chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing.

Slice thick, make a cup of tea, and enjoy a little weekend baking moment. 🤎

T-minus 7 days till Valentine’s 💌 And we’re starti

T-minus 7 days till Valentine’s 💌
And we’re starting the countdown with chocolate + raspberry because obviously.

These chocolate raspberry cupcakes are rich, soft, and topped with the dreamiest pink buttercream — but they’re also made with super minimal ingredients and no eggs or butter in the cake itself, which makes them feel so light. Sweet, indulgent, and still nourishing… my favourite combo.

I also snuck in @eversiowellness Four Mushroom Blend for a little nervous-system love while we bake & eat the sweets. It’s my go-to for calming, balancing energy — especially during busy seasons like this. You can use my code eastongilowski15 for 15% off.

Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
Makes 12

Wet ingredients:
1¾ cups almond milk, warm
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
1 cup cane or coconut sugar
1 tbsp vanilla

Dry ingredients:
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
1 tsp Eversio Four Mushroom Blend

Pink buttercream:
1 cup grass-fed butter
3–4 cups monk fruit sweetener or powdered sugar
½ tbsp beetroot powder
2–3 tbsp milk, as needed

Raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, fresh thyme, powdered sugar for finishing.

Mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar together and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a buttermilk. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and melted coconut oil together until smooth and slightly creamy. Add the buttermilk and vanilla and whisk gently to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mushroom blend. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet in two additions, mixing just until combined.

Fill cupcake liners about three-quarters full and bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes, until set. Let cool completely.

For the buttercream, beat the butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sweetener, then mix in the beetroot powder and milk until smooth and pipeable. Frost the edge of the cupcakes and fill the centre with raspberry jam. Finish with fresh raspberries, thyme, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Soft, romantic, and very Valentine’s Eve coded 💗

The meal I’m cooking on repeat this January 🤍

This salmon nourish bowl has become my hyper-fixation dinner — I’ve had it so many times already this month and somehow I’m still not bored of it. It’s light, balanced, and genuinely nourishing 🫶🏼

I’ve been doubling down on my @eversiowellness mushrooms wherever I can going into the new year! The Five Mushroom Blend has been going into everything lately & straight into the salmon marinade for an everyday way to get the benefits of hormonal balance & stress management in!

Salmon marinade & dressing
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp rice vinegar
A squeeze of lemon juice
Black pepper & sea salt to taste
1 tsp @eversiowellness Five Mushroom Blend

Marinate the salmon for about 20 minutes, then bake at 375°F for 14 minutes.

To build the bowl
Quinoa or white rice
Ribboned carrots
Sliced cucumber
Edamame
Arugula
Avocado

While the salmon bakes, prep your grain and veggies. Add everything to a bowl, top with the salmon, and finish with herbs like cilantro, green onion, or microgreens if you have them.

Simple, satisfying, and the kind of meal I actually want to eat on repeat.

Save for later for the perfect meal inspo 🤍

MATCHA MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES 🤍🍵✨ This one is for

MATCHA MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES 🤍🍵✨

This one is for my matcha girlies… this is your matcha latte but in cookie form.

Soft, chewy, lightly earthy, buttery, and that vibrant green? That’s all thanks to SOAR Organics Matcha — truly the best of the best. It gives the most gorgeous colour and the smoothest matcha flavour. I’m obsessed. @soarorganics

These feel so luxe for December baking, but honestly perfect year-round. The macadamia nuts elevate them so much — a little more couture than white chocolate chips, but you can swap them out if that’s your vibe.

Here’s the full recipe:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon @soarorganics matcha (ceremonial or good culinary)
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch (this gives the levain cookie look)
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅔ cup chopped macadamia nuts (plus extra for topping)

How to make them:
Whisk your flour, matcha, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream your softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
Add your dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the macadamia nuts gently.
Cover and chill your dough for at least 1–2 hours so they stay thick and soft.
Preheat to 350°F.
Scoop into tall, chunky balls (about 4 tbsp each), press a few extra mac nuts on top, and bake 12–14 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look puffy.
Let them finish setting on the tray.

A chic little matcha moment for your holiday baking. Save + share for later 🍵✨🤍

Honey Brown Butter Pumpkin Pie 🥧🍂🎃✨
Chai & Spiced — Episode 4

A little Thanksgiving tradition, a few pie lessons learned — and the dreamiest pumpkin pie filling yet. Made with brown butter, honey, coconut cream, and my sourdough pie crust!

Tip: turn your oven off and let your pie cool inside - It helps prevent those little cracks from forming on top & pre bake your pie crust so the bottom of the pie still gets flakey! (Mines underdone lol)

This filling is silky, cozy, and just sweet enough — everything you want on the table this weekend. Full pie crust recipe is already on the blog as well as the pumpkin pie filling full recipe 🤎

Honey Brown Butter Pumpkin Pie Filling Ingredients
• unsalted butter
• honey
• full-fat coconut milk or cream
• eggs
• brown sugar
• pumpkin purée
• my pumpkin pie spice mix & sea salt
• vanilla

Baking pies is one of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions — tomorrow’s apple pie is next 🍎🥧but if you’re looking for a last-minute bake, this one’s easy, cozy, and so rewarding. Full recipes are linked in my bio

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, I love you 🍂🥧🧸✨
