My parents like inviting me over to their house for weekend brunches when Kevin’s not in town. They say it’s because they miss me and figure I could use some company, but I know it’s just because they’re hoping I’ll bring muffins, cookies, coffee cake, cinnamon buns, or apricot breakfast rolls along with me. I…
*flop* Just like the gluten-free samosa, I’m struggling with making dosa. It’s hard to accept that I learned how to make both of these dishes in India, but can’t seem to replicate the process in my own kitchen no matter how hard I try. First error in all this dosa making attempting was trying to…
One of the benefits to having a boyfriend that travels a lot for work is that I get to partake in girly activities that I can’t generally find the time for when he’s at home. Like having 2 bubble baths in a day, drowning myself in reruns of the Gilmore Girls, and going to Eveline…
I’ve been collecting ideas for recipes for as long as I can remember. Since elementary school, I’ve had recipes scribbled down in my math workbook, tucked away in my safe keeping box, scattered throughout the drawers of my desk on little pieces of scrap paper, and most recently, organized in my outlook folder. With the…
I woke up yesterday craving Nanaimo bars – a dessert usually reserved for Christmas. But with the hubby gone to London, a day of absolutely no plans, and a craving for chocolate, I decided to just go for it. As we’ve learned from similar experiences in the past, I love my chocolate treats on the…
Who doesn’t like pie, smoothies and graham crackers? Or, limes, frothy toppings and sweet breakfasts? Big mugs, green things, and meals packed with goodness? All of these things? Can be your next green smoothie. Because green smoothies don’t have to be a “pinch your nose to scarf it down” experience. They can taste like pie…
Congratulations, Anna, you’ve won! I’ll send you an email in a few minutes. Thanks everyone for entering :) I went through a phase about 4 years ago where all I ever wanted for supper was homemade potato or yam fries baked in coconut oil. Even writing about it has me salivating. Did you know that…
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
I’ve turned into a chai monster. Cold almond milk, chocolate protein cakes, hot rice, pancakes, porridge, muffins, doughnuts… all perfect opportunities to liven things up with a bit of chai spice, wouldn’t you say? It doesn’t end there. Since returning from India, I’ve gotten in the habit of adding generous amounts of chaat masala, cumin,…
Congratulations, Megan for winning the $50 Amazon gift card! Your feedback has already been used to make changes on the blog and will help me in future updates, too. Thanks for participating! Adding lentils to trail mix was a little out there. Adding lentils to granola is even more so. Oh ya, I went there….
