Vegan Lemon Pudding

Vegan Lemon Pudding

We have two things to celebrate today… Thing #1 – this recipe. It’s mind blowing-ly awesome. Preparing it (and writing about it) makes me feel like an anti-dairy ninja battling crap pudding everywhere with dairy-free ease and resourcefulness. HIYAH! Thing #2 – holy flourishing business, batman. I had the opportunity to share a recipe on…

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…

5 Minute Blueberry Quinoa Flake Bake with Lemon Cream

There are berries everywhere here in Montreal! The strawberries are tiny and juicy, the raspberries aren’t too tart, and the blueberries have such an amazing flavor! If there’s one thing I don’t miss about living in Alberta, it’s the lack of fresh, flavorful produce. Plus, I could buy a couple of pints of blueberries and…

I enjoyed our mini vacation, but boy did I have a good time in the kitchen yesterday! It felt like it’d been ages since I’d cooked something. As nice as it was to eat out at fun restaurants in Montreal for 4 days straight, come day 3 I was ready for a simple home cooked…

Wow, I had such a great weekend, I don’t even know where to start. Kevin and I got lots done around the house, all 8 recipes that I made on Saturday turned out perfect on the first try, and the weather was nice enough on Sunday that we decided to visit the local amusement park…

It’s Kevin’s (30th!) birthday tomorrow and while store-bought presents are nice, I wanted to come up with a special treat for him instead. To help inspire me in the kitchen and keep me on track; because I usually get distracted when I’m creating a recipe and end up with something completely different than what I’d…

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…

Spring Leek and Lemon Chicken Patties with Steamed Veggie Salad

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…
