These smoky barbecue black bean burgers are filled with a tasty combination of spices, barbecue sauce, beans, and sweet potato, and are topped with a healthy green goddess sauce. Believe it or not, I was an extremely picky eater as a kid. The number of meals I would eat could be counted on one hand, […]
Roasted Cauliflower Cilantro Soup
This roasted cauliflower cilantro soup features an unusual ingredient: tahini! Tahini makes it ultra creamy, and za’atar roasted chickpeas are the most addictive topping. This Middle Eastern-inspired soup packs a flavourful punch thanks to a roasted cauliflower base plus cilantro, tahini, and lemon. After a period of indulgence, I naturally gravitate towards meals with an […]
Easy As Pie Spelt Pizza Dough
Hey hey hey! Sorry for neglecting to publish a beverage recipe this weekend. In lieu of that, allow me to present to you my perfect pizza dough. It is neither too thick nor too thin, and it bakes up with a crispy edge and perfectly soft interior without being too doughy. Also, this recipe is […]
Berbere Lentil Tacos
These berbere lentil tacos are bursting with flavour, colour, and texture. Happy spring! We made it through another winter, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with some lentil tacos that are a fusion of east African and Mexican cuisines. Before we get into discussions of food, though, let’s chat briefly […]
Vegan Banh Mi Sandwiches
Vegan Banh Mi Sandwiches make the perfect lunch or dinner! They are ultra flavourful thanks to the addictive baked tofu and sriracha mayo, and they are ridiculously easy to prepare. Well, I ran my farthest all winter on Saturday. Eighteen kilometres of slip sliding, sun shining fun along the rivers. It wasn’t fast or pretty, […]
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Shake

Enjoy it for breakfast or as a pre- or post-workout snack. Good morning! Popping in with a drink recipe and a few reads again. Hopefully […]
Curried Carrot, Lentil, and Coconut Soup
A healthy, simple dish, my Curried Carrot, Lentil, and Coconut Soup will chase away those late winter blahs and flood your body with health-giving nutrients! I thought I’d pop in with one soup recipe before winter slips away for another year! It’s hard to believe I haven’t shared any soup recipes on the blog yet. […]
Tahini Tofu Scramble
This tahini tofu scramble just might become your new favourite brunch recipe. A tantalizing combination of tahini, nutritional yeast, and salsa imbues tofu with a ton of flavour! A common refrain I get from non-vegetarians is, “Tofu is gross- it doesn’t taste like anything.” My response: that’s the point. It’s a blank slate for us […]
Slow Rise Saturday: Salted Caramel Latte
As I write, the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked spelt bread wafts out of the oven. I’m sipping on my salted caramel latte and listening to a beautiful folk/indie playlist. The sun is shining onto the kitchen table. I feel completely content in this moment. This winter, I have made a conscious effort to slow […]
Vegan Banana Spice Cake with Cashew Buttercream
This vegan banana spice cake with cashew buttercream is just sweet enough, made with spelt flour, and really healthy. A smooth and luscious cashew ‘buttercream’ tops it all off. I’ve been feeling restless lately. Anyone else? I’m ready to shake things up, yet I can’t decide where to go or what to do. It’s not […]
