Hi, I’m Bailey – but you can call me Bails. I’m so glad you’re here!
A Little Bit About Me
I’m a Canadian food blogger, content creator, and the face behind Basics With Bails, your go-to spot for easy, high-protein, gluten-free recipes that actually taste good.
I started this blog back in 2017 as a creative outlet and a way to share my love for healthy food that doesn’t feel like a diet. What began as a side hustle has grown into my full-time job — and now I help thousands of people every day discover simple, nourishing meals they can make at home without the stress.
Just as the name suggests, Basics with Bails is a blog to help you get back to the basics!
I love to bake, cook, exercise, and document all of the above. I believe the secret to health and happiness starts from within, and isn’t as complicated as everyone thinks!
A Passion For Food & A Need For Balance
With over 800,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, I’ve built a community of food lovers who care about flavor and feeling good. I focus on using real ingredients, sharing beginner-friendly recipes, and creating content that’s just as fun as it is helpful.
You’ll find everything from Ninja Creami protein ice creams and viral smash tacos, to meal prep ideas, gluten-free baking, and honest, helpful tips to make life easier in the kitchen.
Whether you’re here for quick dinner inspo, your next viral recipe, or to grow as a food content creator — I’m so glad you’re here.
Thanks for joining me on this journey.
xo, Bails
A Few Of My Favourite Recipes
I get asked all the time what my go-to recipes are — and honestly, it’s hard to choose. But if I had to narrow it down, these three are always on repeat in my kitchen (and yours too, if the blog traffic says anything!).
Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares
This one’s pure nostalgia. My grandma made these every year, and now they’ve become one of the most viral treats on my site. Butterscotch chips, crunchy peanut butter, and those cold marshmallows? It’s an iconic no-bake dessert and a forever favorite.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Protein Ninja Creami
If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with my Ninja Creami. This high-protein chocolate ice cream has the creamiest texture, uses simple ingredients, and hits every single time. It’s a healthy treat that doesn’t taste “healthy” — and that’s the best kind.
Buffalo Chicken Crust Pizza
This one’s for my protein-loving foodies. The crust is made with ground chicken, eggs, and parmesan, then topped with buffalo sauce, melty cheese, and ranch. It’s spicy, satisfying, gluten-free, and packs over 60 grams of protein per serving — aka the perfect meal prep hero.
