Just quickly checking in to let you all know I’m still alive and well! Supremely well, in fact… with a big trip on the horizon, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. But in the meantime, you can look at this and drool ever so slightly: Real post coming soon, I promise! […]
When I made my lentil & beet salad, I made sure to make extra beluga lentils to have on hand for the next week of meals. I ended up making some super quick & vegan Chipotle “Snobby Joe’s” (lentils & tomato sauce on a bun), and this asparagus salad. I love how the beluga lentils […]
As I’ve been performing for the last two weeks (you know, the “Opera” part of “Kitchen Operas”), the routine has gotten a little out of whack. There have been lots of quick meals, and lots of eating on the run. In order to regain some stability in my life yesterday, I thought it was time […]
This is my all-time favourite snack. It’s great up at the cottage, on Superbowl Sunday, or when you have less-healthy friends over and you need something delicious that aren’t chips, and doesn’t scream healthy!

So, I’m on the hunt for a delicious, grainy veggie burger. I don’t want something that pretends to be meat, in either texture or flavour. My favourite veggie burgers have always had whole grains and lots of flavour, so I’m trying to come up with the perfect recipe. Tonight was attempt #1… quinoa veggie burgers. […]
You’ve got to love falafel… but the grease-factor takes them out of the realm of everyday food. Luckily, falafels are just as good (if not better!) when you bake them, and you can keep the extra oil away! I’ve added a bit of lemon juice both for flavour, and to replace the moisture of the […]
To me, traveling is a great excuse to try new restaurants, but it always takes a little bit of prep work before hand. As a vegetarian, I can often arrive at a restaurant and find there’s nothing for me on the menu… or that it’s not the kind of food I eat (somehow vegetarian = […]
Dear Reader, I hope your holiday season is treating you well! I have landed myself in Vegas, along with the family, and am having a blast exploring the foodie side of “The Strip”. I will regail you with stories and photos upon my return, but like the showgirls here, I will leave you with a […]
… and the elves left us a prezzie for baking and cooking!!! Yup, spoiled. One thing I know, is that my divine chocolate cake is going to be much easier in this baby, so it will be making an appearance on the blog in the near future. So now I get to research recipes that […]
I’m always up for a food challenge – and this one from Meghan Telpner (my local and inspirational natural nutritonist) seems to be just the trick: the 5 Days Low Glycemic Eating challenge. As all of Meghan’s challenges do, this one comes with an e-tutorial that gives full info (in a fun way) on the […]
