Here is a life hack: find (BBQ tofu) taco-loving people and surround yourself with them. Then you can have Taco Tuesday all week long, and you will have SO. MUCH. FUN. Your taste buds will be pretty dang happy all the time, too. I’m pretty obsessed with tacos these days, and with spring and summer…

Date Night Vegan Penne with Tempeh Chorizo and Red Pepper Cream Sauce
It’s still early spring, which means it’s perfectly acceptable to share this cozy pasta recipe, right? Pasta is the ultimate date night meal. And if you gussy it up with tempeh chorizo and a creamy cashew red pepper sauce, you’ll most definitely succeed in impressing your person. As my dad always says, “The way to…
Superfood Hot Chocolate (Vegan)
This superfood hot chocolate is my favourite afternoon pick-me-up or healthy dessert when I’m craving something warm and sweet and the end of the day. It’s packed with good for you ingredients like cocoa, reishi mushroom, cashew butter, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, and is sweetened with a Medjool date. Reishi mushroom helps with relaxation and…
Green Ginger Ale
Welcome to the second weekend of spring! Whether or not things are greening up where you are, I think we can all agree that this green ginger juice is an awesome seasonal tonic. It’ll wake you right up in the morning, and it’s equally good as an afternoon pick-me-up. Now that I no longer work…
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
Good morning! Popping in with a drink recipe and a few reads again. Hopefully you’ve fared all right during this emotional week of two heartbreaking tragedies, and that you were uplifted by the climate action protests around the world on Friday. As senseless and heartbreaking as these tragedies are, they make me extra grateful for…
Vegan Chocolate Chip, Pecan, and Cranberry Cookies
Rich chocolate. Buttery pecans. Chewy cranberries. The perfect trifecta, yes? When life hands you these three ingredients, there is only one thing to do: You make cookies. And not just any cookies. Rich, chewy, buttery-tasting vegan cookies that are actually good for you. Yes, my friends. The universe loves us and wants us to be…
Vegan Chili with Sweet Potato and Beans
This chili recipe is a classic that I hope you will turn to again and again to warm your belly and nourish your soul. I know it’s been keeping me cozy and happy in these final weeks of winter here in Canada. I got to thinking last week about some of my favourite childhood dishes…
Fabulous Fudge Pie (VEGAN)
I love fudge pie, and I cannot lie. This recipe takes its inspiration from a certain nostalgic childhood treat: mud pie. Growing up, it was my favourite dessert. As I recall, my family’s recipe featured an Oreo cookie crumb crust, a whipped topping filling, and gummy candy adornments. So sweet, but so good. Oh, to…
The Best Vegan Meatballs
I kind of have a love affair with Italian food. It’s a lot like my love affair with Greek, Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, and Mexican food. (What can I say? I guess I just have a thing for food.) But sometimes, nothing can compete with a gigantic bowl of spaghetti topped with steaming homemade marinara, tempeh…
