Shouldn’t apples be part of the main dish too, sometimes? It’s that time of year for apple crumbles and apple pies, apple muffins and apple cider. Any baked good that exists can and will be stuffed with apples. It’s glorious. But should we really have to wait until dessert to have our apples and eat […]

Newbie Sushi: Homemade Avocado and Cucumber Rolls
Last night we made our own sushi. Normally we go to an all you can eat sushi place but for me, as a vegetetarian, it’s not worth it. Why spend 25 bucks so I can eat a bunch of rice and avocados? It’s good and everything but surely it’s cheaper to make at home. It […]

Just for fun: macaroni and cheese tacos
Normally I try to eat healthy, but last night I said screw that. I had a craving for both KD and for tacos. Instead of cooking each thing separately, we decided it made more sense to put them together. This is how it turned out! I’m sure that someone somewhere must have made this […]

Creamy Carrot Soup with Parsnips and Coconut Milk
When I was younger and lived with my parents, my mother took two different recipes and mixed them together to make a creamy carrot soup flavoured with curry powder and parsnips. When I moved out on my own, she gave me the recipe, and I altered it by replacing the cream and dairy milk with coconut milk and soy milk. The result […]

Easy Garlic-Ginger Vegetable Stirfry
This recipe came to mind one night when I wanted something fresh and healthy without spending much time cooking. You can save time by getting a package of pre-cut veggies (I like the kind that has bell peppers, zuccini and red onions) or you can chop up whatever you’ve got on hand if that’s your style.

Lentil, Quinoa & Vegetable Stew
The first time I tried this recipe was thanksgiving weekend of last year when I went home to see the family, and my mother made this for dinner. It had grown chilly outside, what with the leaves turning colours and the sun setting early, and we were all wearing sweaters (well, I was anyway) at the dinner table. It […]

Fettuccine with Spicy raw Tomato, Herb, and Caper Sauce
I’ve had this cookbook for years called The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Donna Klein. It has really fantastic looking recipes that use fresh herbs and vegetables. Being a student at the time this book was given to me, I felt taunted by the pages of delicious homemade pasta sauces (calling for 3 cups worth of fresh […]

A simple dinner of perogies, swiss chard, tomatoes and garlic
Have you ever come home at the end of the work day feeling so utterly exhausted that the last thing you want to do is cook? I know that I do. And usually I deal with it by cooking Kraft Dinner or some other disgusting, unhealthy thing that I know I shouldn’t eat but […]
