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
This peanut butter oatmeal “cookie” shake tastes just like a peanut butter cookie in drinkable form! However, it’s made with very healthy ingredients like oats, peanut butter, banana, and dates. 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 […]
Homemade ‘Beyond Meat’ Burgers
Note: I have since created a new and improved recipe. Please see this post for the updated recipe! Enjoy. Yeah, I get it. Weekend’s over. But what if I told you the fun doesn’t have to end on Sunday? What if you had legitimately meaty burgers to look forward to at dinner tomorrow night? A […]
Slow Rise Saturday: Blueberry, Almond Butter, and Cardamom Smoothie
This blueberry, almond butter, and cardamom smoothie is full of antioxidants, protein, and healthy fat. It’s satisfying and the flavour of cardamom pairs well with berries! Welcome to a new feature on Up Beet Kitchen! “Slow Rise Saturdays” will include a healthy drink recipe and a roundup of reads that I’ve found interesting throughout the […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip, Pecan, and Cranberry Cookies
These vegan chocolate chip, pecan, and cranberry cookies are soft, chewy, and have ingredients everyone loves: Rich chocolate. Buttery pecans. Chewy cranberries. The perfect trifecta! When life hands you these three ingredients, there is only one thing to do: You make cookies. I think that there is a lot of unnecessary guilt and shame […]
