Oven-Baked Mexican Quinoa Casserole
February 18, 2013
Since making the Spinach & Lemon Quinoa Bake in December, I've been inspired to cook up a quinoa casserole in the oven. I went with a Southwest/Mexican theme and was amazed at how well it came together. I have to say that I'm pretty excited by this new and easy way...

December 21, 2012
A couple years ago, I blogged about a Cauliflower Purée with Mushroom Compote, Seared King Mushroom and Shitake Bacon dish. That meal was awesome but time-consuming. Today, the big head of cauliflower sitting in my fridge inspired me to make a simple mashed-potato-like side dish.
I decided to load this up with...

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...

December 16, 2012
The holidays are so crazy, aren't they? From wrapping-up work projects for the end of the calendar year, to finalizing gift shopping and decorating the house, there is often little time to do anything else. Even though I had plenty of notice for a holiday get together with friends a...

September 12, 2011
These are the chocolate chip cookies that my mom made for me growing up - and it's also one of the first recipes that I ever veganized, waaaaay back in high school. At the time, I susbstituted vegan margarine for the butter, and because the recipe didn't call for any...
Read the full post Quinoa with Roasted Spiced Chickpeas & Pine Nuts
August 31, 2011
This is another one of the recipes that my mom made for me while I was visiting in August. The chickpeas and pine nuts offer a great crunch and nutty flavor, while the vinaigrette has a lovely fresh lemony taste that to me, tastes just like summer. Having said that,...

August 14, 2011
My awesome little mama has been cooking up a storm for me during my stay in Ottawa and I thought it only fair that I return the favor by making her lunch earlier this week. My mom can make pretty much anything, but she had never made taco salads before....

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 Roasted Butternut Squash, Lime & Coconut Soup
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...

November 22, 2010
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 27, 2010
I met a cool girl named Tess at an Indian vegan cooking workshop (more on that later) a few months back, and after connecting on Facebook and seeing some of my food photos, she asked for my beetroot risotto recipe. I've been procrastinating on getting back to her, but then today she...
