You know how I said that my Whole Wheat Toblerone Cookies were my favourite cookies ever? Move over Toblerone Cookies, there’s a new Whole Wheat Cookie in town – the Whole Wheat Compost Cookie. I’ve been hearing a lot about Christina Tosi and the amazing treats she’s whipping up at Momofuku Milk Bar in New […]
Remember the Tortilla Scoops with Spicy Nectarine Salsa we made as appetizers for my Pampered Chef party? Well these are a breakfast version, inspired by the great deliciousness of baking tortillas in a muffin tin, filled with stuff. I turned these into Tex-Mex breakfast nibbles, by stuffing them with spicy refried beans, sharp old cheddar, […]
Dear Soup, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 1) You are magic. Somehow, soup as a whole is always better than the sum of its parts. You put veggies in a pot with some water, and they come out tasting incredible. Magic. 2) You make me love winter. Because who doesn’t […]
On Thanksgiving weekend we were lucky enough to get an invite up to our friends’ cottage — perfectly situated on a lake surrounded by beautiful falling orange, yellow, and red leaves, and smelling and feeling like Fall. I was in charge of dinner one night, and wanted to make something “Thanksgiving-y” that wasn’t traditional Thanksgiving […]
So what’s a girl who’s blogging vegan for a month (for Vegan MoFo) to do for Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend? Celebrate it vegan-style, of course! If you’re looking for Vegan recipes appropriate for your Thanksgiving feast (whether it be this weekend or next month), I suggest you chow down on some of my Fall favourites: […]
I’ve just discovered something pretty cool. Did you know you can make a non-dairy milk out of cashews? Yep, it’s amazing. All you need are cashews and a blender! If you’d like a sweet or flavoured milk you can pop in a couple of pitted dates and a teaspoon of vanilla paste or extract. I […]
Ok, ok. I know, enough with the holiday food! But I’ve got just one more holiday recipe for you, and this one’s good enough (where good = tasty & nutritious) that you can use it all year ’round! This was our family dessert for Christmas Eve (our big holiday meal), and it was a special […]
Happy New Year, to all of you celebrating! I hope that 2011 brings you joy, health, happiness, love, and many delicious moments! I’m still catching up on blogging my favourite holiday food around here, and there is one treat I make every year for the holidays: dark chocolate truffles filled with caramel. And not just […]
So every year for Christmas Day, we go to visit the boyfriend’s family for dinner — and they have vegetarians in their family, so I take along my own veggie main dish. For the last few years I’ve taken along a veggie nut loaf, but this year felt like doing something a little different. After […]
So I found some uncooked and unpeeled chestnuts at the grocery store, and wanted to roast some myself, which I knew I could do in the oven after reading a post by my favourite Knitting Humourist (yes, that’s a job! Don’t you want it?), the Yarn Harlot. Off I went in search of instructions, and […]
