Happy Monday! I know, Monday’s aren’t exactly known for rainbows, butterflies and happy times, but I have a brand new recipe for you… that has to count for something, right? I’m really focusing on quick, easy and nourishing entrees this week. I’ve come up with 5 gluten-free meal recipes that will make you a believer…
Portobello Orzo with Dairy-free Lemon Mint Cream Sauce
Oh man, orzo is awesome. It’s pasta, but small like rice which means that you can eat more of it with each spoonful than say, when you eat spaghetti. Paired with a nice and creamy (vegan) sauce and you have a meal that even your picky boyfriend will eat. Yes, I said it… Kevin enjoyed…
Macro Greens Bowl with Green Dressing and Protein Boost Mix
I purchased the reFresh cookbook back in 2007 and was quickly introduced to the amazingness that is Fresh Restaurant in downtown Toronto. I’ve prepared almost every single one of their recipes over the years and have long since dreamed of sitting in their Spadina location sipping on elixirs and filling my belly with yummy vegan…
Vegan California Rolls with Edamame Pate
Wow, what a great weekend I just had, my gosh. Did you have a good weekend? I know, it’s already Tuesday but I feel like it’s Monday so bear with me. It all began on Friday morning when I boarded the train at Montreal Central Station headed for Kitchener, Ontario. It was a long trek,…
Stuffed Jack-o’-Lanterns
I remember getting absolutely frantic the day of Halloween. Scratch that… I was frantic the days leading up to EVERY holiday. Besides making my costumes, I would consistently devise a Halloween treat plan that would help our crew (usually my best friend, my sister and her best friend) tackle each street with precision. No house…
Sweet Potato and Fennel Curry
India has been on my brain for the past few weeks. It feels like ages since I got on that plane and headed to Mumbai earlier this year. The waterfalls, the beach, the ashram… I returned home with a strong sense of self, a free soul and a happy heart. Maybe this yearning has been…
Vegan Masala Basmati Casserole + Exclusive Facebook Contests and Recipes
I haven’t shared an Indian themed recipe in a long, long time. In fact, it took a couple of readers sending me requests before I realized it was about time I jumped back on the masala train and got to preparing some new Indian dishes for the blog. Is it weird that I’ve been enjoying…
Fennel and Sausage Pasta Salad
I remember the very first day I tried fennel. My Mom and I were combing the isles at Safeway looking for ingredients to inspire us. Have you ever done that? Just gone to the grocery store and walked the isles hoping that something will pop out at you? So, we fall upon a big, fresh…

Rice Flour Crepes with Vegan Richa
Do you guys remember when I tried to make rice flour crepes, also known as dosa? It was a bad scene. Why I hadn’t thought about just using rice flour like Richa has in the recipe she’s sharing with us today is beyond me. Richa is the talented vegan and Indian food extraordinaire behind Vegan…
