Last-Minute Thanksgiving Pumpkin Parfaits
October 7, 2012
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! I'm posting this recipe for those of you looking for a quick Thanksgiving recipe idea. The bonus is that it's healthy enough that you could get away with eating it for breakfast. Can you say win-win?
I got the idea for this recipe from a magazine years...

October 6, 2012
I totally missed-out on my Thursday and Friday Vegan MoFo posts, so rather than get back into recounting my 3-month NZ and Southeast-Asia travel adventures, I thought I'd share a new recipe with you.
As mentioned previously, I now live really close to one of Toronto's great Fresh Restaurants and find...

July 31, 2012
When most people think of summer, they imagine a slice of watermelon, a tart glass of lemonade, or a bright popscicle. But not me. To me, nothing screams summer like a fresh and incredibly juicy Ontario peach. Lucky for me, they're overflowing in little cardboard bushels just about everywhere this...

July 16, 2012
I'm still working my way through all my travel photos, so my posts over the next few weeks will primarily focus on current happenings (what I'm cooking at home and restaurants that I'm discovering here in Toronto). But don't worry, all the information and reviews of the things that I...

November 15, 2011
I picked up some puffed quinoa at the health food store this weekend and decided to make a little treat with it. I have a deep and unending love for peanut butter, so that's what I went with...
Notes
The natural peanut butter that I used is not very sweet, so I...

While the summer doesn't officially start here until December 1st, the weather has been absolutely amazing lately. Some of our friends have organized a BBQ in the park, and while they're providing the salads, I thought that I'd bring a couple things as well. I'll probably make some Quinoa Salad...

I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise. My Raw Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake made Friday's Vegan MoFo roundup. Check out the roundup if you haven't already - I've bookmarked pretty much everything else that was featured!
I came up with this recipe about 10 years ago, back when I first...

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,...

I'm sorry for the lack of posts but I've been absolutely swamped with my brother and his friend visiting from Canada. We've been busy sight-seeing and attending various events, and there hasn't been much time to cook, let alone blog. But they left today, and I promise to make up...

August 10, 2011
If you've been following my last few posts, you'll know that I'm currently on vacation in Ottawa Canada. Right now, I'm staying with my parents and it's actually more of a "semi-vacation" at the moment since I'm working half-days and running around doing a bunch of different errands the rest...

July 24, 2011
I know, I know... not another hummus recipe! A few of my friends here have asked for my humus recipe, and since I'm heading out of town for a month, I wanted to ensure that they had it before I left. I also wanted to share an awesome little trick...

July 21, 2011
This post is dedicated to everyone who is sweltering in the summer heat at the moment AND to my friend Daina, who has been really successful at incorporating more vegan and raw foods into her diet over the past month. Going vegan is one thing, but going raw is a...

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...

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...

May 23, 2011
I found these mini pears at the farmer's market the other day and instantly fell in love with them. Apparently, they're called Paradise or Faccia Bella pears. Although I didn't have a particular use for them them, they were so cute that I had to bring a few home with me....

April 7, 2011
It's not everyday that you come across a recipe that will become a staple for your household and lifestyle. For me, it has to:
Contain simple ingredients that I normally have on hand
Be easy to prepare
Taste great while being healthy enough to eat each day
I recently discovered raw ice cream, which...

I came across Joel Luks' Vegan Good Eats blog a while back and bookmarked just about every recipe on there. The food that he makes is creative and beautiful, and his quirky sense of humor shows in every comment and detail.
I finally got around to making one of his recipes...

March 31, 2011
I came across this recipe in the Jan/Feb 2011 issue of Sheila magazine. It looked so decadent, I just had to try it. The trick is to have "ripe but firm" avocados on hand when the pears are just ripe. But once you've got that under control, the actual salad...

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 2, 2011
I think it's pretty clear from my last couple posts (and overall recipes) that I love avocados. They're so rich and creamy and such a beautiful shade of green (my favorite color). If I had to eat one fruit or veggie the rest of my life, avocados would probably be...

2011 has been pretty crazy for me. From hosting a good friend from back home over the holidays, to moving into a new pad downtown, to travelling back to Canada for a work conference and my mother's surprise 60th birthday, and finally meeting-up with my fiancé for 5 days of sight-seeing and...

January 17, 2011
My mom used to make this recipe and it's one of my all-time favorites. If you manage to find yourself in that perfect space-time-continuum where you have access to ripe mangoes and avocados at the same time, then this is the perfect recipe. I can't tell you how great this...

December 14, 2010
I just couldn't resist bringing home these gorgeous grape tomatoes and figured that the best way to enjoy them would be as a light and fresh salad. A quick Google search brought me to a recipe for this transcendent summer tomato salad. Perfect! Fresh basil and a high-quality olive oil are...

Vegan MoFo #29 - I missed a post yesterday, which is disappointing because I was so proud of the fact that once I got settled from my vacation in Fiji, I posed everyday something everyday in November. I was really determined to make-up for the first 11 days of the Vegan...

Vegan MoFo #20 - I spent the day on the beach so I don't have an elaborate recipe today. However, this is one of my favorite go-to recipes, and it wouldn't be right not to include it in the Vegan Month of Food initiative. My awesome mother made this salad...

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...
