This is the FIRST salad recipe on my blog, why? Because I don’t really like salad… That isn’t totally true, I actually DO like salad, once I’m eating it, but I rarely WANT to eat it. I was inspired to step up my salad game when I saw the Kale Crunch Salad in vegan chef Chloe…

Shiitake and Smoked Tofu Bahn Mi
James made me a simple Bahn Mi sandwich on Saturday and it reminded me how much I used to LOVE Vietnamese subs. When he made me the sandwich, he marinated some firm tofu in soy sauce and fried it. When I made us sandwiches today, I decided that I would use smoked tofu instead of…
Sweet and Spicy Acorn Squash Soup

Creamy Tomato Soup (V)
I started working at a produce stand a couple mornings a week, and yesterday they sent me home with several “soup” tomatoes (i.e. tomatoes that have bruises and/or mould, that would not otherwise sell). Despite the blemishes, and being a little past their prime, these tomatoes were bright, big and beautiful. What better way to…

Sometimes I have a hard time convincing myself to snack on raw veggies because I have such a sweet tooth, but when I have market…
Deluxe Tom Kha Gai (V/GF)
Tom Kha Gai is pretty much my go-to at any Thai restaurant. The creamy coconut milk broth, mixed with the enticing flavour of lemongrass, red chilis and galangal are at once comforting and refreshing. In my version here, I subbed in ginger because I couldn’t find galangal, and used pureed basil instead of fresh because…
Easy Slow Cooker Lentil Soup (V/GF)
Now that it’s finally getting hot outside, the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen by turning on the stove or the oven. In comes the slow cooker. This soup is great for anyone who is on-the-go and who doesn’t want to spend a tonne of time prepping and cooking in…
Greens and Grains Feel-Good Soup
I am coming down with a cold, so I wanted to nourish my body with lots of veggies, and protein to keep my body full. What better time for some hearty veggie soup with pot barley and white beans. 1 cup white beans (dried) 1 cup pot barley 3 garlic cloves minced 1/2 large onion…
“Oh She Glows” Sweet Potato, Mushroon Quinoa Bowl with Miso Gravy
Here is my take on the “Oh She Glows” Chickpea Miso Gravy Bowl. This was one of the first recipes from the “Oh She Glows” website that I ever tried and I love it! I started making this dish even before I decided to make the switch over to a plant-based vegan diet and it’s been…
