Did you know you can make popcorn easily on your stove? Just put the kernels and some oil in a pot with a lid, keep your heat down to medium-low, and you’ll have better-than-microwave popcorn! Mr. KitchenOperas and I are big popcorn fans. We’ll make a big bowl in the evenings, and munch away to […]
I’ve been making a lot of socca around here (imagine a big savoury chickpea-flour pancake!), and finally have come up with a single-serving version… which I’ve been making for a quick snack, or even breakfast!!! The last time I blogged about socca, my sister (Heather) and I flavoured it two ways: 1) with Indian spices […]
Ashley made these awesome energy balls that look like Larabar-inspired apple pie truffles. I totally need a batch in my fridge for this week! I’ve made energy balls like this before, like these Dark Chocolate & Orange Energy Balls or ones with protein powder, and they’re a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. You totally feel like you’re […]
Is it dessert? Is it breakfast? Yes to both. Chia pudding is a great sweet breakfast option, that packs in omega-3s, fibre, and protein (chia seeds alone contain 7g of protein per 1/4 cup!). Also, it tastes like kheer (Indian rice pudding, one of my favourite desserts) — I love the almond & cardamom combination! […]
Happiest New Year! It seems to be that time of year when we’re all resolving to eat better… which around here means whole foods, lots of veggies, and choosing foods that give you lots of nutrients! One of the first things I do to make sure I make good choices, is to stock my kitchen […]
Guys, there’s a lot of hummus around here. Ash and I got together this weekend to get our hummus action on for Vegan MoFo and by now we have eaten a lot of hummus. We are both turning into chickpeas. In fact, yoga and chickpeas are combining in our minds and we are practicing chanasana […]
My latest kitchen experiments all revolve around one type of preserving: fermenting! And ohhh am I loving it. Fermented foods (like kimchi and sauerkraut) are really great for your digestive health (and therefore your overall health), and after my Fermentation Class with Dana & Joel from Well Preserved, I thought it was high time to […]
You know those days when you just want something sweet, and you have nothing in your house? I hope this is the remedy to that problem for you. I was craving my alternative to rice krispies treats — Crispy Kamut & Chocolate Squares, but now that I’m eating gluten-free I wanted to use a gluten-free […]
So what’s a girl to do when her fridge is full of Brown Rice Rejuvelac? Why, make vegan cheese, of course!!! Blogging along with this year’s Vegan MoFo challenge really got me thinking about what foods I like that are both vegan and gluten-free… and I got sad when cheese wasn’t on that list. So […]
