So it’s that time of year when our fair city looks like this: And the sumac all through the valleys has turned bright red: Which means I want to get into the kitchen and stock up for Winter! I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of new-to-me things this month because of Vegan MoFo and one […]
We’ve had a stressful few weeks around here. And in times of stress, we tend to order in Thai food. But all that ordering started to look a bit silly when I had a jar of red curry paste in my fridge. So off to create my own curry I went! I have to say […]
Tonight was veggie roasting night around here — I did up a big batch of parsnips, carrots & sweet potatoes and then also had some Brussels Sprouts in the fridge. Seeing as I had the oven on anyway, I thought I’d roast them too. There’s a little bit of alchemy that happens when you roast […]
My fabulous friend Dani has a fabulous holistic nutrition & mindful living blog over at Enlightened Life. I love reading her recipes, and subscribe to her blog updates. This morning, I rolled over in bed and checked my emails. I was delighted to see a recipe for Orange Cacao Goji Balls on Dani’s site! I […]
Want to know my favourite raw restaurant? Belmonte Raw in Leslieville. The glorious Carol started her restaurant to serve raw food (which means it’s vegan & gluten-free, so I can eat everything on the menu). And best of all, Carol features local & organic produce.

Guess what I did on Thanksgiving Sunday? Other than eat delicious food… I was at a canning workshop!!!! The workshop was led by Janet from Rainbow Plate and sponsored by the awesome Fresh City Farms. Janet brought a selection of her homemade pickles & fruits to inspire us to can our own rainbow of produce: […]
I had some of my bridesmaids over for a lovely tea cocktail party, and we of course needed nibblies. The morning of the party, I was preparing all of my dips, spreads, gluten-free crackers, and cocktail ingredients. I then hopped in the shower and had a brainwave! I had mini bell peppers in the fridge, […]
I’m still savouring the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we had Sunday evening. The food, the company, it was all just perfect. I proclaimed this morning that we should celebrate American Thanksgiving as well, just so we can do it again next month. Michael did such a wonderful job as our host. We all had individual place […]
