Vegan Cinnamon Curry Quinoa Burgers with Gluten-free Burger “Buns”
It’s rare that I make a recipe more than once or twice. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the things I make, I just enjoy the thrill of experimenting with new recipes far more than relying on the tried and true. Call me risky. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed trying…
Ultra Green Smoothie
Our weekend filled with adventures and socializing was a nice break from spending my time alone in the kitchen. I love cooking, but sometimes a girl just needs a break! It wasn’t until Monday morning that I realized I had absolutely no meals prepared for the day ahead. I had to wing it and pack…
15 minute Maple Pepper Salmon Cakes
I have this thing for salmon. Craving? Mild obsession? I don’t know. Whatever it is, it’s strongest at work and will last all morning until I give in, ditch my lunch kit, and head to Joey’s Barlow to enjoy a $19.99 salmon fillet. I’m not the type to forgo an opportunity to enjoy a homemade…
Vegan “Tuna” Salad
Oh do I have a treat for you today! It’s not a fresh batch of gluten-free doughnuts, vegan cake, or a fun green smoothie, it’s tuna… vegan style. Before you go thinking that this recipe may be a bit too granola for you, I urge you to check out the ingredients list. Everything is easy…
2 minute Mango Citrus Sorbet
My attempts at making vegan marshmallows this weekend turned out to be a total fail, but that didn’t stop us from having a great weekend! I’m enjoying Instagram more and more for capturing our adventures, so here goes! I picked up Kevin from the airport early Saturday morning that left me feeling like a zombie…
Onion Veggie Dip with Homemade Onion Soup Mix
Oh my goodness, I’m just waking up now instead of the 3 hours ago that I intended. Kevin flew in from Montreal last night and his flight was delayed to 12:08am. As much as I love seeing him at the airport and being there to welcome him home, waking up halfway through the night to…
Spring Leek and Lemon Chicken Patties with Steamed Veggie Salad
Earlier this year, we set a goal of eliminating most of the microwave cooking in our home. As a result, the stockpile of homemade frozen meals that got us through the workweek no longer held much significance. I could make the meal from scratch in the same time it took to defrost it in the…
Chocolate Banana Cake Bars (vegan + gluten-free)
I have a hard time walking away from a sale. I thought I’d learned my lesson from the 2011 canned pumpkin sale incident, but my freezer full of over-ripe bananas says otherwise. It’s just so challenging to say no to an over-ripe banana. They’re perfect for banana soft-serve, green smoothies, banana pops and can be…
“Breaded” Chicken Strips with Apricot Dijon Dipping Sauce
Let’s just pretend for a moment that you’re not sensitive to gluten, that deep fried chicken is nutritious, and that KFC isn’t bad for your health. Close your eyes and try to remember the last time you feasted on KFC breaded chicken complete with it’s secret blend of spices and golden, crispy skin. Now open…
Masala Dosa Take 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…
