Best Ever Kale Chips
•
“Best Ever.” I see this phrase, and variations of it, used liberally all over the internet. Everything seems to be the “best ever.” A quick Google search for “best cookies ever,” will land you with millions of results, but not necessarily what you’re looking for. In Vancouver, a friend of mine once counted 6…

Frittata Frittata

Is there anything prettier than a frittata? When done right, this easy meal makes for a stellar sunday brunch centrepiece. The awesome thing about these that the variation possibilities are endless. Veggies, meats, cheeses… Mix and match your favourite combo, arrange it in the dish, pour your egg mixture over it, bake, and voila!…

Green Pea Soup with Roasted Chickpeas
•
Last week, I posted about Brussels sprouts, the little green vegetables trying to shed their bad reputation. Today, I’ll spotlight another miniature green friend, who often gets tossed under the rug (or fed to the dog.) Please, allow me to re-introduce you to the humble sweet green pea. Often cooked until mushy, overdone, brown,…

Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts
•
Brussels sprouts. Known only to some as “that food in movies that kids never eat,” Brussels sprouts have gotten a bad rap over the years, possibly due to the fact that people have been cooking them the wrong way. However, there is a reason that they’ve been experiencing a resurgence – and you’ll probably…

Vegan “Meat” Sauce
•
I got 99 posts, but a meat sauce ain’t one! (Well, until now!) You guys! This is my 99th post! Are you as excited as I am? Well, you should be. Because this is by far the best of the best. I mean, this is some real stick-to-your-ribs, blow-your-socks-off, even-ravenous-carnivores-will-love-it saucy sauce. Even my…

Eat Green
•
Here’s a great, super fast, super easy vegan meal packed with flavour, packed with protein, packed with nutrients, and oh-so-green! I found some beautiful asparagus this week at my local grocer (nice, thin stalks & bright green in colour, which is what you should look for when choosing asparagus!) Inspired by Ottolenghi’s newest book, Plenty…

Summer Slaw (Creamy Sesame Coleslaw)
•
Any time that I feel as if I’ve overeaten, or when I’ve drank too much, I find myself attempting to compensate the following day by consuming ridiculous amounts of vegetables, taking multivitamins, and drinking green smoothies. Today has been one of those days.The only problem? I was super hungry, and craving something creamy.My fridge brimming…

Honey Garlic Brussels Sprouts with Almonds
•
Prior to last year, Brussels Sprouts and I had never crossed paths. Perhaps it was because I was brought up thinking that these little green spheres were meant to taste putrid, and that I should avoid them at all costs. (In reality, I think it was just because my mother didn’t like them herself.)…

Spring Fresh (Avocado & Mango Salad)
•
I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my warmest welcome to my most desired season: springtime. While blooming flowers begin to paint the city with their limitless palette and scent the warming air with their intoxicating perfume, while the days get longer and the skirts get shorter, and while the sunshine begins to…

Chard Charade (Swiss Chard & Arugula Sauté)
•
Readers, friends, fellow bloggers, Mom… I’d like you all to meet Swiss Chard. She’s a lovely leafy green that tastes just like spinach, only slightly heartier, and possesses the most photogenic stems I’ve ever seen. I’ve shied away from Chard in the past, burdened with a fear of all that is unknown and green after…
