Baby Kale Salad with Raspberries and Maple Pecans
June 7, 2013
I want to share my newest obsession: baby kale!
It's so much lighter, and less chewy than regular kale. I actually find that it's closer to baby spinach. So if you've been scared or put-off by regular kale, this could be a great option for you. Is baby kale the "gateway...

March 24, 2013
I love Thai food, and especially red curries. I often make regular red curries at home, but yesterday, I made a quick and healthy red curry dish using quinoa.
This is a pretty basic recipe. The next time I make it, I will try to make it into a one-pot-meal, but...

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...

Note from Vegangela
One Green Planet asked me submit a Thanksgiving recipe again this year. Last year, I came up with some Quinoa-Stuffed Thanksgiving Squash, which is not only beautiful but also filling and nutritious. This year, I decided to prepare something a bit lighter. The full recipe is available on the One Green...

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...

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,...

October 16, 2011
Yesterday was pretty much a perfect spring day here in Sydney, Australia. It was 22C and there wasn't a cloud in the sky in the afternoon. After walking about 6k around the city, and then going for a 5k run/walk in the beautiful Centennial Park, my man and I were...

October 11, 2011
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!"...

October 6, 2011
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...

So my brother and his good friend flew in from Canada yesterday and in all the excitement of showing them around the city and watching the rugby world cup games, I forgot to post my first entry for the Vegan Month of Food, or Vegan MoFo for short. MoFo say...

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...

June 21, 2011
My mom makes a killer Caesar salad and it was one my favorite dishes growing up. She left the anchovies out of it for me when I went vegetarian, but when I went vegan a couple years later, it was "bye bye Caesar salad" for me. Years later, I started...

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...

June 14, 2011
I started making this sandwich back in high school, and although I don't consider it a real "recipe", it's something that I make from time to time when I'm craving a sandwich or I'm in need of a quick meal. It can be easily customized to your personal sandwich preferences...

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...

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....

May 12, 2011
I've never eaten beet greens before, so when I brought home this bunch of beets the other day, I had to run a Google search to see if the leaves were even edible (Okay, you can stop laughing now).
Sure enough, they are edible - and their vibrant shade of green...

I cooked up a storm last week and I have a lot of yummy recipes coming, but in the meantime, I wanted to post this quick snack that I made the other day.
I love popcorn and came up with this recipe after reading about a few truffle butter recipes online. Everything...

Vegan MoFo #24 - When One Green Planet approached me last week and and asked if I could submit an original vegan Thanksgiving recipe, I jumped at the chance. Although I cook almost everyday, I don't often keep track of ingredients and whatnot. This was an opportunity to create and...

November 16, 2010
Vegan MoFo #16 - It might seem weird, but in all my years as a vegan, I've never made stuffed mushrooms. There's no particular reason, as I love mushrooms and especially the earthy, hardiness of portabellos. I just never got around to it. However this week, I bought a large...

November 13, 2010
Continuing with my tropical theme this week, here's a yummy tropical tapioca pudding recipe. I especially like serving this after Indian or Thai food. The cool, creamy texture is refreshing after a spicy meal, and the tropical fruits compliments those themes as well.
I love tapioca pudding because it's so...

October 20, 2010
Last night, dinner was taking longer than planned, so I needed a quick appetizer that I could quickly put together to fend-off starvation. I had some cherry tomatoes on hand, as well as some frozen vegan pesto, so I decided to combine the two.
I originally thought of slicing the tomatoes...

Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday, and even though I'm living in Sydney Australia right now, I still like to celebrate it with a nice meal. I haven't yet figured out what I'm going to make this year, but I looked through last year's photos for some inspiration. I made this Tofu...

Friday night, I was looking for something to munch on while watching a movie at home. I didn't feel like a salad or something completely healthy. I had some leftover peanut dressing from the Peanut Soba Noodles I had made earlier in the week, so I decided to lightly fry...

September 29, 2010
Yay! I submitted my Salt & Pepper Tofu recipe to VegWeb.com back in April and just realized that they finally posted it earlier this month. I guess there's a bit of a back-log over there, which is understandable considering the massive amount of recipes and info that they publish. I'm...
