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…

Flavours of India: Dhal Aloo Kofta (vegan ‘meat’balls)
For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Aloo Palak, Payasam Pudding, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. A dish called malai kofta was one of the 6 meals we chose to make during our Indian cooking class. I’d never heard of it, but the name sounded cool so I shrugged it off and…
Baked Maple Peach Acorn Squash Dessert
One of the lessons I’ve learned from tracking my daily eats in my food journal, is that my body responds really well to squashes. Every time I eat them I feel energized, satiated, and if done up right, they satisfy my sweet tooth, too! I’ve been trying to introduce myself to a new type of…
Maple Turnip and Carrot Mash
My love for mashed potatoes goes deep. The day I moved out of my parents house at the tender age of 17, I was very happy to learn that potatoes were about the only thing I could afford. That and egg noodles, tomato juice and licorice from Walmart. Let’s just say there was a 3…

Everywhere I turn there are unopened bags of products that I’d purchased months before with the intention of using, or under the assumption…
Impromptu Dinner Party
I wasn’t comfortable having people over for dinner before starting the blog. I always thought the meal would end up burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad tasting. But like they say, practice makes perfect. While I might not be perfect, I am definitely a lot more confident. Plus, it doesn’t hurt having a blog filled…
15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Fresh Tartar Sauce
Enjoying a cooling dinner after a long day in the sunshine is pure bliss. Having a fear of heights while climbing a wall is the exact opposite. Kind of a deal breaker, actually. Although I did get higher with each climb, set goals and pushed my personal limit, I think it’s fair to say that…
