Quinoa Falafel with Avocado Tahini Dressing
April 7, 2013
I've loved falafel ever since my aunt Annie introduced me to it as a kid. She took me to a Middle Eastern restaurant outside Montreal and ordered me a plate of vegetarian goodness, including tabouli, hummus, and falafel. At the time, I wasn't even sure exactly what I was eating,...

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...

Happy spring, everyone! Can you believe that winter is already over? I mean, it may not seem like it out there, but before we know it, it will be July. Time flies!
What better way to celebrate the end of winter than with a bright and fresh salad? To be perfectly...

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...

December 18, 2012
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...

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 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...

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 10, 2011
As much as I'd like to, I don't get the chance to visit a farmer's market each week. The truth is that I tend to do most of my shopping at regular grocery stores. In Sydney, this means Woolworth's (Woolie's for short) or Coles. While they don't stock every vegan...
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,...

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...

June 1, 2011
Like many people, I love peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies, peanut butter dipping sauce, peanut butter out of the jar... peanut butter anything! So when a late-night search for "quinoa salads with peanut butter" returned this recipe for quinoa salad with spicy peanut dressing, I didn't hesitate to bookmark it and...

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...

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...
