Easy Lemon Lentil Soup
June 6, 2013
It was grey and rainy in Toronto today, so when dinner rolled around, I decided to try this Lentil Lemon Soup recipe. It contains very few ingredients and it's quick and easy to prepare, making it a perfect weekday meal.
On lentils...
According to Wikipedia, Canada is the world's #1 producer of...

I came across this recipe and just knew I had to make it vegan. After a few modifications, it's now an awesome vegan dish that is even easier to put together than the original recipe.
Recipe Notes
I replaced the cottage cheese and eggs with vegan sour cream and Ener-G egg replacer.
I...

November 17, 2011
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in Sydney and summer is just around the corner. However, even though it was warm on Tuesday, I was in the mood for a hot soup. Does that ever happen to you?
Perhaps it was because I was feeling a little bit run-down, but...

November 14, 2011
I bought a big chunk of fresh ginger last week in order to remake my Carrot Ginger Dressing. I adore the smell and taste of fresh ginger and I love using it in my meals because I find that it really "wakes" everything up.
The only problem is that I find...

October 28, 2011
So many amazing-looking pumpkin recipes have come out as part of the Vegan Month of Food. Are you all pumpkined-out though? I hope not, because I have this "rawsome" contribution!
This recipe combines traditional pumpkin pie and my decent discovery of raw vegan cheesecake. Even with the cashews and coconut oil,...

My dad is in the Canadian Armed Forces, so when I was growing up, we moved... a lot! We lived throughout Canada and the United States (where I attended high school). All in all, I attended 9 schools and got to experience and see first-hand a good portion of those...

This is going to be a quick post as I didn't have a lot of time today. However, I still want to get a post out and keep my Vegan MoFo mojo going strong for the rest of the month!
I first came across this recipe last year and absolutely loved...
Read the full post Chocolate Banana Muffins with Chickpea Flour
October 12, 2011
I realized today that I had two very ripe bananas that I needed to use ASAP. With the price of bananas in Sydney hovering around $13/kilo at the moment, there's no way that any banana in this house can go to waste. Being a temporary ex-pat, I have limited kitchen...

My man came home from work with severe flu symptoms yesterday. Aches, chills, sore throat, you know the deal. "No problem," I thought. "I'll just go to the freezer and pull out one of the many homemade soups I've stashed there for precisely these types of emergencies. I'm so awesome!"...

September 27, 2011
Today I had the opportunity to attend a luncheon hosted by Mr. Wally Fry, founder and owner of Fry's Vegetarian. Here's some information on the company:
It's a family-owned South African company, whose meat-analog products are available in 23 countries worldwide
Their products are made using premium quality non-GM ingredients, with no artificial...

July 17, 2011
All my friends and family back home in Ottawa and Toronto have been saying how warm it's been there lately. I'll be there in a couple weeks myself and I really hope that the weather holds-up. I'm especially looking forward to those long hot summer evenings. Sydney has amazing weather...
Read the full post (Almost Raw) Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake
July 4, 2011
Ever since making my first almost raw vegan cheesecake, I've been thinking about making a key lime version. The slight coconut flavor and taste in the original recipe inspired me to put a further tropical spin on it. All I really did was swap-out the lemon juice for lots of fresh...

June 20, 2011
I love making fresh soups, because other than eating veggies straight-up, I find that a homemade soup is the best way to bring-out the great flavor of fresh vegetables. Nothing is more comforting, and yet the effort to make homemade soup is pretty minimal. Plus, I'm always shocked to see...

Check out this recipe for Pretty Darn Raw Vegan Cheesecake from Allyson @ Manifest Vegan. Like Allyson, I'm trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet. Thankfully that doesn't just mean eating more salad! This recipe is proof that you can make delicious raw desserts that compare in flavor...

Warning: this is another post for mushroom-lovers. If you're not a fan of them, then you may want to escape to chocolate-land and forget that you ever saw this.
Ok, onto the fungi. Once again, I have gone overboard at the farmer's markets, and last week I found myself with way too many...

June 3, 2011
Check out this awesome kidney bean soup. Until I made this the other day, I had never had a kidney-bean based soup before - just the usual black or white bean variety. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a new favorite.
I've nicknamed it "chili soup" because it has...

May 27, 2011
About 5 years ago, I veganized my mom's chili recipe by replacing the ground beef with Yves veggie ground round. I made it like that for years, doubling the recipe, and freezing it so that there was always a warm comforting meal available at the drop of a hat.
Then, I...

May 10, 2011
I cut this soup recipe out of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper many years ago - and it's been one of my favorites ever since. The coconut milk makes it so rich and creamy and the cilantro (fresh coriander) and lime give it such a fresh, summer-taste, any time of the...

April 15, 2011
I got a little carried away at the farmer's market last week and found myself with too many tomatoes. I didn't really feel like making the obvious thing - pasta sauce - so I decided to hunt for a tomato soup recipe instead.
While my mom made many wonderful homemade soups...

March 28, 2011
Pretty epic title, huh? Well, it's totally true.
The other day, while watching a boring movie (can't even remember the title, it was THAT bad), I was Googling vegan raw recipes on my iPhone. I was in the mood for something sweet, yet healthy, and I eventually settled on some raw...

March 9, 2011
This past Sunday, I had to reorganize the fridge to make room for all the lovely produce that was brought home Farmer's Market. I soon realized that I had way too many carrots - like two huge bags of them. Since I now also had fresh green onions and dill...

Vegan MoFo #22 - I’m always on the lookout for healthy cookie recipes, and was inspired by this one that I found on About.com. I've made it a couple times now, and have modified it a bit each time.
The recipe didn't specify what kind of flour to use, but I...

October 24, 2010
This is a recipe that my mom made for us growing up and I always loved how moist and delicious these muffins were. There's something about the pineapple/carrot combo that is just so perfect (I've got a pineapple carrot cake post coming soon too!) I've since veganized the recipe, and replaced...

October 15, 2010
My amazing mom has been making this soup for years and it's one of my all-time favorites. I love the chunkiness of the vegetables and it's really more of a stew than a soup. I've seen people who "hate vegetables" (!?!), ask for seconds of this soup. Seriously, it's that...

October 13, 2010
I love the smell of fresh basil, and the best thing to make when you have a lot of fresh basil is... fresh pesto! It's great on pasta and flat bread pizza, as well as stirred into lightly stir-fried veggies. It's also awesome in minestrone soup, which I'll share in...

October 5, 2010
I cut this recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine about 10 years ago (am I really this old?!) and it sat untried in my recipe binder until I finally got around to "veganizing" it this year. I've since made it a few times because it's just so delicious and I can...
Read the full post Vegan Caramel Apple Muffins
This one of my favorite vegan muffin recipes. The crumbly, sugary topping makes them taste like gooey caramel apples - minus the sticky fingers and face! I suppose you could leave out the topping to make these a bit healthier, but it really adds a great taste and texture to...
