When I began to contemplate how to put my 2009 resolutions into practice, I was inspired by In a garden … somewhere’s meal planning posts. So I sat down for about an hour or two, had my cookbooks at hand, and created a simple meal plan for the entire month - inputting recipes I thought [...]
I am always looking for new ways to eat dark greens - because they pack such a powerful nutritional punch. Kale, swiss chard, collards, spinach, etc! Well, I have perfected the tried and true method of sautéing onions and garlic, throwing on the chopped up greens and then tossing in a bit of tamari at [...]
Posts have been scarce lately what with my camera lens being broken, settling into my new apartment, and beginning graduate school after having taken a year off. I can feel my brain getting into gear again (all of that dust being blown off from the areas that weren’t being used for travelling and working) and [...]
So apparently this is the week of preparing home-cooked meals on a regular basis. Last weekend I powered through all of my home projects so I can focus on planning my trip (I am hours away from booking the flight!). With the extra time I’ve been flexing my cooking muscles for our health [...]
Since we have made this meal 1,000,35452 times already, I feel that I have to share. I just love the simple and delicious way this whole wheat couscous is flavoured with the caramelized onion and other ingredients. It is also really fast and easy to make. For me, it is true comfort [...]
Yes!! A combination of peanut-buttery, brownie-like, banana-happy cookies. I made a batch of these for Valentine’s Day for J, then proceeded to make another batch for my co-workers after realizing that they are the best cookies I’ve ever eaten. And dangerous - make sure you have plenty of other people to feed [...]
Last Saturday I attended a lovely vegan brunch in the apartment of my friend Katy. Above you can see the tasty spread including vegan turtles (chocolate covered dates with roasted almonds inside), roasted potatoes, and mini-spelt chocolate chip muffins. (more pictures can be seen on my Flickr account by clicking any of these [...]
For a recent potluck I was inspired by the Yeah, That “Vegan” Shit blog (in celebration of the top recipes of 2007) to make two of her chocolate-y desserts. They are definitely going into the recipe binder (and Google Notebook) for repeat visits!
Peanut Butter Cannonballs. Um, yeah - potentially the MOTHER of all [...]
We are snowed in here, after a huge blizzard yesterday. So much has happened, where to start? I’ve been trying to “get out more” and get away from the laptop, which can be so addictive. Also trying to reconnect with friends I don’t see too often, which involves a lot of Facebook-yammering. [...]
It’s funny how I now that I have so many cookbooks, one of the ways I decide what recipes to make is by reading other vegan food blogs where people post pictures and stories about their cookbook creations. Sometimes having books full of endless delicious recipes can be overwhelming; I depend on the amazing [...]
